Spotlessly clean accommodation in an excellent location for local facilities in Braunton. The double bed is very comfy but the twin beds are incredibly hard and uncomfortable (we did not use the bunkbeds) The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook and clean. Excellent idea to have the contact details of the friendly housekeeper, although we did not need to contact her as everything was in good working order.

The house was clean (apart from blinds) and tidy, location was good but parking was a problem as we had two cars (only one allocated parking space and two visitors parking spaces for 18 properties). Although dogs are allowed there is no grass within 200 yards of the property.

Well located house, close to takeaways and a pub! Also can easily walk to newsagents and local shops (Cawthornes which sells most stuff, and a butchers are just a few mins walk away). The house had everything we needed, lots of crockery and cooking pots and utensils. The bunk bed bedroom is quite small but as we were out and about most of the time this didn't matter but it might be better suited to younger kids. Saunton beach is only a few mins drive away so it was perfect for us and kids to spend time body boarding and surfing. Nice private garden. Great communications from the housekeeper at the holiday company who manage the house when we had queries Emma was quick to respond and was super helpful. Would stay here again and would recommend it.

Great location in town, close to many beaches, particularly Saunton Sands which is dog friendly and stretches for miles when tide is out. Great for surfing and body boarding and not built up. From the town you can cycle the Tarka Trail, there are also a number of dog friendly pubs with gardens and plenty of shops.

Wish we had stayed for longer!!

It was such a lovely location. Extremely clean property, with really nice touches for a family with a toddler. I did not expect a stair gate or a change mat or a potty or a sleep suit (in addition to the advertised high chair and travel cot) to be available so that was really a nice touch. We'd happily stay there again.  Only thing I would perhaps have preferred was a later check-out time.

Tripadvisor 5 STAR Review - " Well situated for local shops and Saunton sands."

Great 3 bed cottage in the centre of Braunton. Lovely village. Shops , restaurants and local chippy close by. Just around the corner from the Tarka trail so lots of places to walk the dog. Saunton sands and Crowe point a short drive away. It's by far the cleanest house I have ever stayed in. Everything you need in the house to make it a great holiday.

The cottage was well up to our expectations and is very well equipped.

The courtyard garden was a real bonus , as it meant that our 18 month old grandson could play outside without fear of him escaping !! Although we had said that we were taking a dog , in the end we had made other arrangements , but it was a nice gesture that you had provided some doggy treats . All in all we were impressed with the cottage being so well equipped , and the high standard .

Tripadvisor Review: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oysters.

The house is just off the high street, with ample parking (although the spaces are a little narrow) but was quiet and relaxing. Oysters was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The Wi-Fi worked well - and was very useful for my 3 children! The house was very warm (even without heating on) and we really enjoyed our stay here. It is a perfect location for travelling to Croyde, Putsborough or Combe Martin. We also loved exploring Braunton Burrows and Crows Point. I would love to stay at Oysters again.

Oyster Cottage is lovely, clean, modern, beautifully furnished (the sleigh bed is soo comfortable) and all kitchen equipment provided. I couldn't fault it. If you visit you tube and search for Oyster Cottage, Braunton there is a video showing it. The village is a stones throw away with a pub close by and its an easy walk away. The letting agents Croyde Holidays were a pleasure to deal with. We would like to return next year. My only reservation is Oyster Cottage becoming too popular and being unable to book!!

We are a family of 5 plus small dog and have just spent a week at Oysters. Beautifully presented house, by far the cleaniest house we have ever stayed in - a credit to the owner. The garden is wonderful, very clean and well set out, a real sun trap. Could be used throughout the day due to it's south facing garden. I thoroughly enjoyed watering the plants! Having two televisions was a bonus when sharing with two teenagers. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. However this cannot be said of the single beds, you can feel the springs and they all need the mattresses replacing. The property is just around the corner from Braunton High Sreet which has a fantastic selection of shops and has a proper village feel. Very quiet property, very highly recommend it to anyone.
