Philham Water Cottage

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cottage - a lovely secluded setting and a fantastic hideaway. The location was perfect for walks on the Southwest coast path and for enjoying a trip to Clovelly. The restaurant recommendation of the Farmers Arms a short drive away was excellent; we had a better meal there and at better value than one of the “best” in London. We only wished we could have stayed longer - it would be very easy to spend a week or more switching off here.

What a magical stay! We honestly felt like we were in a fairytale from the second we arrived. The cottage is so adorable and cosy. We loved sitting outside by the stream in the day, and by the fire at night. Coming from Australia we have nothing like this so staying here really was a dream come true. The card and special treats were really appreciated! Can confidently say this is the best stay we have ever had and would recommend to anyone. We will absolutely be coming back next time we are in the UK!! Thank you for having us and we cannot wait to come back. Alice & Angus (Australia)

Beautiful cottage in the quiet! Had everything we could possibly need and more! My partner, Alea and I enjoyed the stay and was the perfect break from busy life. Really enjoyed lunch by the river and adventuring off. Can’t wait to book again! Thank you for a lovely stay! PS Super dog friendly. Loved having a bed, blanket and towel provided!

I was looking for a quiet place to work on my novel and fell in love with Philham Water Cottage. It was one of the best things I've ever done in my life! From the magical cottage (with its delightfully cozy bedroom, fireplace, and perfect little kitchen) to the lovely towns in the surrounding countryside to the breathtaking views of the coast just 15 minutes away -- every element felt like a storybook. For none-UK drivers, the last few miles of road are very narrow, but Miranda gave excellent directions and we just drove slowly :) Highly recommend - felt like a fairytale. Simple perfection.
