Great Lilly Cottage is an historic 2 bedroom barn conversion sleeping 4, available to rent throughout the year on a self-catering basis. Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque corner of North Devon, this recently renovated property is a perfect rural retreat. Explore the white sandy beaches of Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and Croyde, or the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park... all on your doorstep.
We love welcoming guests to Great Lilly Cottage which sits within its own garden and private area on our wider property, Great Lilly Farm. Our family love to keep a wide variety of pets from Giant Pyrenean Mountain Dogs to Pygmy Goats and we are passionate about nature and the environment.
If you love birdsong, bats, rolling hills and quiet country lanes, this cottage is for you! North Devon is also famous for its unspoilt white, sandy beaches. You can spend lazy days exploring rock pools and building sand castles. Or for the more energetic, there is a wealth of watersports to try your hand at. The famous surf beaches of Croyde and Saunton Sands are only a 20 minute drive away.
