Thank you again for a wonderful week's holiday in Swift Cottage - we really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the location and Louis had a great time on his first ever holiday! The cottage was beautifully presented and imaculately clean - perfect for a very inquisitive 10 month old. It was great to have baby equipment provided and we made good use of the washing machine! Your facilities were just right for a family get away and we loved having the pool to ourselves on a number of occasions. We would love to visit you again soon and would happily recommend Willowfield Lake Cottages to anyone, particularly those concerned about the logistics of travelling with and entertaining a baby.

We have two young children and Willowfield Lake Cottages are the perfect venue for our family holidays. The cottages are superbly equipped, attractively decorated, comfortable and very clean. The location is tranquil among the beautiful and unusual landscape of Braunton Burrows but the amenities of Braunton are less than five minutes drive away. Several days of our holiday we didn't even need to leave Willowfield by the time we had all made use of the outdoor play areas, the games room, the walks around the grounds and fishing lake, and of course the fabulous indoor pool and hot tub! When we did go out it was great to be so close to the beaches at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Crow Point and to be able to drive to them via cunningly quiet back roads! Terry and Wendy were great hosts and were always on hand to help with any queries we may have had either about the cottages or the local area. We loved Willowfield so much that we have already booked to go again next year. We would definitely recommend it as a great holiday venue for familes!"

Another fabulous holiday at Willowfield Lake Cottages – we came home already planning our return next year.
It is a fabulous place for a holiday, particularly with young children, as everything is geared up to make everyone enjoy themselves. Even if it rains, there’s a lovely warm swimming pool, that you often get all to yourself, and a games room with comfy chairs for the parents and toys and books to borrow. It’s a beautiful spot that’s so tranquil that some days we just picnicked in the grounds and had a wonderful time without having to pack up the car.
Wendy and Terry couldn’t be more helpful. I even got a phone call the day before we left asking if there was anything they could provide to save me packing it. I borrowed high quality highchair, cot, trainer seat, bed guard and changing mat – much more than the usual range on offer at most places. They even lent us a bbq and a bucket and spade.
The cottages are clean, well equipped, and all on one level, so perfect for crawling babies and no need for stair gates. The beds are very comfy too.
The lake is far enough away from the cottages not to worry about toddlers falling in and also far enough away that you can fish in peace away from the family for an hour or two. Having Tesco down the road means you don’t have to bring lots of food with you either.
We’ve done lots of day trips, and there’s plenty to do within an hour if you can’t go to the beach – which is also a lovely sandy one with a nice cafe.
We can’t praise it enough and will definitely be returning for a third year in 2011.

Myself, my mum and 2 daughters had a most enjoyable week's stay at Willowfield Cottages.
We found the cottage spotlessly clean and spacious and it had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.
The girls enjoyed using the pool and the hot tub which was in our backgarden.
We would definately recommend Willowfield Cottages to our friends and relations.
Hope to visit again sometime.
Love Karen White, Julie and Sophie and Katie. |

We have just returned from our first visit to Wagtail Cottage, Willowfield Lake Cottages. We only have the highest praises for this child friendly but tranquil holiday site. Beautifully decorated, meticulously maintained and truly great for pre-school children. We have three children under 5 years old, and they were all happy as sand boys here. There is a little toddler playground area, an exciting fort playground for the older chidlren, a well equipped huge games room/indoor play area, plenty of grass for kicking balls about and a lovely warm swimming pool with steps into shallow area for the children & a five seater hot tub. All of the facilities are within sight or near sight of all twelve cottages and cars are in the car park at entrance so no worries re traffic or letting them outdoors on their own. The lake is near enough so you can walk there with buggy or children on the mown paths but far enough away that you have no fears of children falling in. The cottages have some luxurious touches like underfloor heating in the bathrooms and big fluffy towels and well equipped kitchens. Braunton is a five minute drive away for all your food and drink supplies and very easy to reach sandy beaches of Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe by car. We honestly can find no faults with Willowfield Lake Cottages and all its facilities and are already planning on returning next year.
