A lovely place for a get away for the week. It was a quiet location which was lovely, hardly any mobile signal but ok if you have WIFI calling enabled and access within the cottage itself. Triton is very well specced and had everything that we needed for our stay and the welcome gift box was a nice touch. The cookies were lovely! Entry is via a key lockbox on the outside of the building but as it's exposed to the elements, getting into it could be an issue for anyone who has issues with thier hands as it gets a little stiff at times. As others have said, the road down to the cottage is single track with few passing places from the village of Mortehoe, but we didn't have any issues navigating it, even in the dark. The views are fantastic and even greater sunsets. I would recommend the trail out to the right of the road which heads on the SW coast path to Rockam Beech. We tried the Ship Aground pub in Mortehoe for a local meal and it was really nice but beware that the only parking is the pay and display which is a few minutes walk away. The car park also has a small but informative museum at the far end as well as public toilets. Mortehoe is a 5 minute drive from Woolacombe which is ok but if you want more shopping I would suggest a trip to Barnstaple which is about 30m drive away. Combe Martin is a 20m drive away to visit the wildlife and dinosaur park. It has a great soft play area for little ones. Just note it has a steep car park. We did have a few issues regarding the boiler & TV service. These were resolved part way through our holiday. The boiler engineer who came out already had photos of the problem which means it was a known issue prior to our arrival, which wasn't acceptable. We used kettle for hand washing and had little heating for the first few days as Rural retreats were closed for the bank holiday. We managed to get access to one of the other cottages after a few days for showers until ithe boiler was fixed. To be fair, we were offered an exchange to the top bungalow after a few days but for us, it wasn't as nice as where we were stopping, so we stayed put until it was fixed. The lady, Lisa was very apologetic and helpful and did what she could for us so thank you. We knocked 1 star off the review because of the issues faced but we would like to return at a future date to give them chance to get 5/5. Overall, I would recommend.

Originally we were in the cottage next door, WARDEN, when the central heating boiler broke on our first night. We contacted the housekeeper, who arranged a boiler repair man to come out, but it couldn’t be repaired. So, Rural Retreats offered us Triton to move into, which we did on the morning of our second day, for which we were very grateful. Triton is lovely, all in all. A couple of minor points though, the first related to Warden, as it’s telephone line was broken, the Internet in Triton at the end of the building next to Warden, kept trying to connect to a dead line, very annoying. Secondly, the shower head is broken, and won’t stay where positioned. That said, Warden is lovely, and thank you Rural Retreats, and The Housekeeper for rescuing our holiday.

What a stunning retreat! Perfectly situated for the SW Coastal path and great walks with stunning views. The property was beautifully decorated throughout and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was also delicious. The only negative if you could call it so, was the long, narrow track to the property, but to be fair, I guess this just added to the rural location of the stay. Highly recommended and will definitely be back :)

The cottage was decorated to a very high standard and we enjoyed the peaceful location. I think the gorse bushes on the narrow drive need to be cut well back, as considerable paint damage can be caused to vehicles, as it is impassable with a normal sized family car. The mention of overhanging vegetation is not disclosed until the final email. Also, the outside seating needs to be increased to a table and chairs for each property. This wasn't an issue for us, as the property next door was unoccupied, however, I suspect if it was, then a first come first served would apply - not ideal. On the web pictures, there is a concrete table and chairs, which no longer exist.

We certainly enjoyed our week staying in Triton cottage that is in a glorious location overlooking the cliffs of North Devon. The cottage provided comfortable accommodation for the two of us and we were able to have our dog on holiday with us. The area around Triton has several beautiful beaches and the large open sandy beach at Woolacombe was our favourite as it has plenty of room for dogs. Triton is on the South West coastal path so walks either to Woolacombe or Lee Bay are easily done. We would have given a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the long, narrow access road that has very few passing places and is need of repairs in some sections. So we would highly recommend if you have a small car and are comfortable in reversing about quarter of a mile down a narrow lane!

Pro's Fabulous location perched on the cliff top with great views.Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Great if you are looking for peace and quiet. Good walks direct from the cottage. I suggest the cliff top walks to Lee Bay and Morthoe. Dog friendly. Con's Although I was aware that the access road of a mile was very narrow and with very few places to pass any oncoming vehicles. I did not realise how difficult it could be if, as I did, you meet an oncoming vehicle. I had to reverse nearly a quarter of a mile before finding a suitable place. Not easy
