Nice powerful showers, comfy bed, sun loungers for when the sun finally shone….thank you for a much needed relaxing break!”

We thought that the pre-arrival communication was excellent – including the online guidebook which was incredibly comprehensive and covered every detail. The space itself, decor etc was all brilliant – having the washer dryer was so handy, as well as a washing line. Lots basics were provided too, plentiful teabags, coffee, dishwasher tabs. Also a bottle of milk waiting for us in the fridge – thank you! The appliances were all in great condition and were easy to use. The showers were fantastic. We enjoyed the garden, it felt very peaceful and private, and there was lots of seating. The children’s toy selection was excellent – especially the brio train set! The location of the property is excellent, just a few mins by car to Saunton Sands beach, and a lovely walk into the centre of Braunton, which has cafes, shops etc. Easy to drive to Croyde and other surrounding beaches, villages etc.”

Mrs Hunter – June 2024
“A lovely property which clearly maintains a family theme. Large bedrooms and a cosy lounge, with a fabulous and airy kitchen dining area which opens out onto the patio. Bathrooms are modern and very clean with great showers and the towels were lovely and fluffy! The garden is a perfect size with great seating and cushions; real sun trap and not overlooked, we enjoyed some very leisurely afternoons unwinding with a good book and a glass or two. Location is ideal; nice and quiet yet a pleasant walk into town for a great chippy supper or a nosey around some of the fabulous little independent shops. Short drive to the beach and Burrows which are gorgeous locations for letting your dogs go bananas (responsibly of course!). Highly recommended and with great access to both the local highlights along with the main roads to south Devon or further into Cornwall. Simply put, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and our pair of dogs also had a wonderful time. Happy Days indeed!”

The McCorriston Family – August 2023
“We stayed at Happy Days over the summer and had a magical time. We’ve stayed in lots of places around Devon over the last decade and this was the best one we have stayed at. It has a great location – a short and pleasant stroll to the nearest town of Brauton, where there are great restaurants and shops, and a 5 min easy drive to Saunton Sands. We also spent a day in Croyde which is also very close by.   The garden is sheltered and sunny and has all the amenities you need – plenty of seating, a BBQ and space for children to play. The beds were very comfy, the kitchen well equipped and plenty of hot water for everyone.  Good off street parking, although the street was also quiet enough to park on too.”
