For Families

Shebberton Summer Folly Reviews

Harry
We love to stay in this cottage,so peaceful and beautiful view! And our host is so caring and kind!
Stuart
Like above the outside area is not what we expected it was overgrown. The photos of the cottages were taken a long time ago, i.e. the Phone box is just overgrown. Location is a bit too far out i.e. you have to drive everywhere.
Lee
Lovely and quiet location, with lovely walks, and very friendly host
Jennifer
The stay was most relaxing. We felt welcome, and had the best time. Will definitely be coming back
Gordon Noel
Our stay and Summer Foley was ideal, peace and quiet yet close to the village of Abbotsham and the larger town of Bideford and the seaside of Westward Ho! so plenty for everyone including the walking especially along the nearby cliffs. The accommodation was set in a great location and had all we needed for a wonderful relaxing and comfortable stay including a Games Roo. The owner (Mrs. Winters) was an absolute delight, very friendly and helpful and we are very grateful that we were able to stay.
Derek

Sarah
Very good value, a well equipped accommodation only 10 minutes walk from the South West Coast Path and a short drive from other lovely places to explore. We loved the quietness and simplicity. Mary, the owner, is a delight and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Summer Folly to you.
Christopher
Charming, cottage, not modern but clean and comfortable with just about everything you need. Lovely location, quiet and peaceful with lovely views. Great location for visiting other places and close to footpaths for walking from the door, including to the coast path. Lovely host, helpful and full of local knowledge.
Andy
Comfortable cottage in a good and peaceful location. Walking distance to village pub (good food) and south west coast path. Host was welcoming and keen to help if needed.
Margaret
Lovely location 3/4 mile from main road on single track road. View from patio door was delightful as weee the sheep. Cottage very quirky and eclectic. Owner next door was attentive. Quiet and relaxing.. but not as disabled friendly as we had hoped.More suitable for a younger couple
Yvonne
Lovely, quiet location to experience a get away from it all break. An excellent pub, The Thatched Inn, was 5 or 6 minute drive away. Westward Ho! Seafront 5 or 6 minute drive away also. We spent the week going for lunch, reading and chilling out. This property allowed us to do exactly this but was within easy distance of all amenities. A huge supermarket was only 10 minutes away. The cottage was exactly as advertised and Mary was there to help when needed. Please keep an eye out for George!
