“It is difficult to find the right words to describe this wonderful cottage in a peaceful countryside setting, just 5 Star all the way!”

The accommodation is spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. The gardens and hot tub overlooking the valley provides total tranquility, it is a little bit of paradise in Devon. Well done Lisa & Peter, excellent in every aspect, thank you. Hopefully we will be returning soon. Paul & Suzie, Mayfield, East Sussex

Stephanie September 2024

“We had a wonderful week's stay at the Little Silver Nugget.”

The views both from the cottage and the hot tub are stunning, the cottage itself was comfortable and surprisingly roomy! The owners are very professional, we found the facilities app so helpful with lots of suggestions of things to do nearby - this was a brilliant touch. We can't wait to be back.

- Stephanie, September 2024

Thank you for your kind words! See you soon. Property Owner

“Best place we have ever stayed at!”

The cottage itself is set in stunning grounds. The view from the hot tub is unbelievable! The hosts were so welcoming and friendly. The cottage was huge and in immaculate condition. Everything you could possible want from a break in Devon Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Peter and Lisa!!!

Julie August 2024

“The Little Silver nugget was a delightful accommodation.”

It was very spacious and well appointed. The owners were available if needed, but unobtrusive. They provided a welcome basket of fresh bread, tea, milk, apple juice from their orchard etc, such a lovely touch. The surroundings were picturesque and it made for a lovely holiday.

- Julie, August 2024

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the apple juice is our own, in fact we're harvesting the 2024 crop right now :). Property Owner
Gordon July 2024

“We spent a week at Little Silver Nugget and it exceeded our expectations.”

The views are mesmerising, the attention to detail was impressive too. They even sent us a link to their very own digital guide book full of useful information, the welcome basket had lots of treats including fresh home made bread and apple juice from their orchard! The place is huge and very well equipped, the king sized bed has a quality sprung mattress and luxury Egyptian Cotton bedding ensuring a wonderful nights sleep. We loved the private hot tub after long walks and the views from the hot tub really are very special. Whilst relaxing outside we saw lots of birds, a busy woodpecker, cows, sheep and lots of deer too. We can't recommend this place highly enough, our week was so relaxing and we will definitely be planning another stay.

- Gordon, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you had a great time and hope to welcome you back soon :) Property Owner
Maria July 2024

“An Amazing little Gem set in beautiful Devon countryside.”

The views all around the property and especially from the Hot tub are just stunning . The hosts left us a welcome box , including tea coffee and bread ( homemade ) which is a lovely added touch . The accommodation has a touch of luxury from the rain fall combo walk in shower to the bath robes available , underfloor heating and comfy bed . It’s a much bigger annex than you think , in fact it’s huge . It’s based centrally and we visited Woolacombe , Ilfracombe , Westward Ho and Saunton sands beaches and shopped at the Atlantic Village Shoppibg Mall . I can’t recommend Little Silver Nugget highly enough . Our hosts were friendly , not intrusive and very informative . We had all the information needed before we arrived and we were greeted on arrival. If you are thinking of booking - don’t hesitate .

- Maria, July 2024

Thank you for the lovely feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. One thing about Little Silver Nugget is it's not little at all! Property Owner

Moira May 2024

“I did not know what to do with the golf buggy at my disposal lol.”

- Moira, May 2024

Ah so sorry - our guidebook talks a lot about the golf buggies used to access the Shepherd Huts, I'll have a look at the wording to make sure it's clear there isn't one allocated to Nugget (not needed as parking is next to the property). Property Owner
Brian May 2024

“Little Silver Nugget is a real gem!”

! So peaceful & relaxing with stunning views! Highly recommend spending time here.

“Wonderful stay with great access to North Devon attractions.”

Thank you so much for your kind words :) Property Owner
Michael March 2024

“Lovely ‘not so little’ annex with everything catered for.”

We didn’t mind the short walk to the hot tub with its wonderful views but some might. One negative comment - the quality of the accommodation was not reflected in the quality of the duvet quilt which was a bit tired and a little light for a chilly spring night.However the bed cover did help. Overall a wonderful stay.

- Michael, March 2024

Thank you for your kind words and your feedback. We do find that Nugget can be quite a warm property as it is well insulated and has underfloor heating, so we've chosen a lightweight duvet for that reason, but we're happy to provide the additional bedcover just in case! Guests are completely free to set the heating in each room to whatever temperature they like as well, so we'd like to reassure all guests that they shouldn't be cold at any point! Property Owner

“Really nice place and very comfortable The hot tub area is incredible, such a ...”

Really nice place and very comfortable The hot tub area is incredible, such a nice place to spend a few hours overlooking the countryside Only point would be the stairs at the back of the property are dangerous when wet and should have a warning/restricted when access isn't necessary

- Thomas, December 2023

Hello, We are really sorry your found the stairs at the back of the house slippery when wet. The back door is really kept as an emergency exit, and generally people use the front door whilst staying with us. We take health and safety very seriously though, and have noted your point. We will be sure to make guests aware of it going forward. We are happy to hear you had a great stay with us apart from that. Many thanks. Property Owner
Rebecca November 2023

“Only word for this place is AMAZING.”

My partner and I visited for a week and we both apsolutly adored it! There was not a single thing we could even have a slight bad comment about. Located in a lovely area surrounded by lovely little walks and amazing places to eat.

- Rebecca, November 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. We love to hear when our guests have had a great time and discover the various walks around us and lovely pubs & restaurants. Property Owner
Deborah September 2023

“Lovely setting combined with comfortable and clean accommodation.”

The sense of privacy and security was reassuring and being able to use the hot tub whilst getting close to nature was joyous. Wonderful opportunity to see the night sky without light pollution - brilliant. Felt very welcome and would not hesitate to book again.

- Deborah, September 2023

Hello, It’s always lovely to hear that guests staying with us enjoy the countryside as much as we do. There is nothing quite like sitting in the hot tub in the evening listening to the owl whilst enjoying the stars. Property Owner
Kathy September 2023

“Adorable little piece of heaven.”

Well appointed property. Very clean and tastefully furnished. Everything you needed was provided, plus welcome hamper. Thanks again.

- Kathy, September 2023

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and found it had everything you needed for a comfortable holiday Property Owner
Richard August 2023

“Upon arriving at our holiday home we realised with shock that it was just an Annex attached to the owners house.”

Nowhere in the description of our holiday did it say this

- Richard, August 2023

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay at Little Silver Nugget and that you had not understood that it was an Annex to the main house. We’d like to draw your attention to the very first sentence in the property description on the Sykes website that clearly states that Little Silver Nugget is an Annex to the main house & is also clearly mentioned in other listings. Property Owner
Robert June 2023

“This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and I’ve have over the years stayed in quiet a few”

- Robert, June 2023

Hello, Thank you for your kind words. We try hard to always keep our standards high, and it’s lovely when we get positive feedback from happy guests Property Owner

Mark February 2023

“We stayed at this property and was much looking forward to relax in privacy for a couple of days where the property is located in a beautiful location and it’s very clean so no complaints there.”

Just slightly disappointed in the fact where are you stay at silver nugget it is next to the main house, and in the little information, book, that is at the property, the owners make it quite clear that you’ve got to be aware of your surroundings that the family lives next door, so you felt like you were stepping on eggshells a little bit really relax and the fact that you can hear them in there kitchen, so it didn’t feel very private in that way and in the pictures it is very misleading as regards to hot tub. Yes there is access to a hot tub on site but it’s quite some distance away from the main house so in my view, this property was very misleading and the fact that we paid £830. And We couldn’t book in before 4 o’clock on the Friday and we had to leave by 9 o’clock Sunday morning. I think this property is extremely overvalued There are a few places in around the area that we have stay over the last few years, and we have found that is much more facilities and privacy and beautiful little places in other locations , unfortunately we shall not be staying at this property in the future This review is based on our stay on the 10th of February 2023.

- Mark, February 2023

Hello, we are sorry that you felt the need to leave a negative review for us. Arrival & departure times are clearly advertised & available to see before booking, as is the information that Little Silver Nugget is an annex to Little Silver House. When guests call to arrange key collection they are informed they are welcome to arrive earlier than 4pm if housekeeping have finished. It is unusual for anyone to mention they can hear noise coming from our house, but we unreservedly apologize if this has been your experience. We are lucky enough to have stunning views from Little Silver, and to maximize that experience for our guests we have placed the hot tub in the best position to experience the beautiful scenery. Whilst it is not immediately outside the door, it is no more than a minute or two walk through scenic grounds to reach it. This is clearly described in the property description. Property Owner
Simon January 2023

“One of our most comfortable stays in a cottage!”

My wife said she felt instantly at home and did not at all feel any need to walk round and wipe surfaces etc! A testimony to how clean the cottage is. The setting and views are stunning. Peter and Lisa made us feel very welcome and were always on hand if needed. A very enjoyable break.

- Simon, January 2023

Thank you very much. We try hard to always keep our standards high. We are glad you enjoyed our stunning views. Nothing better to wake up to in the mornings Property Owner
Catt January 2023

“Absolutely lovely property-couldn't believe how spacious it was and how nicely furnished.”

Really generous welcome basket waiting for us with wine, apple juice, eggs and bread. Had all the mod cons we needed and when we ran out of loo roll one quick text to Peter and we were back in business. The views from outside the front were breathtaking and we loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the sun come up. Would definatley come back when the weather is nicer as there are so many opportunities to get to from this gem. No complaints, smiles all around.

- Catt, January 2023

Lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for the lovely review. Property Owner
Pete December 2022

“Little Silver Nugget is an absolute gem.”

The self catering apartment was spacious, light, very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. The grounds are beautiful and overlook stunning countryside as does the hot tub which was divine. Our hosts Peter and Lisa were very welcoming and helpful. We were delighted by the lovely hamper of goodies they left for us on arrival. Little Silver Nugget is first class and highly recommended.

Steven June 2022

“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.”

The hot tub was wonderful as were all the facilities in the accommodation. We would certainly recommend Little Silver Nugget to our friends and family. One minor point is that towels could be provided for the hot tub or that hurts be advised to bring their own towels. We would not hesitate in rebooking in the future when we need to get away from it all again.

- Steven, June 2022

Hello, we provide Egyptian cotton robes for you to use going to and from the hot tubs. Property Owner
Jonathan June 2022

“My wife and I had a wonderfully relaxing week in Little Silver Nugget.”

It was incredibly spacious (much larger than we were expecting), yet still very intimate, homely and everything was finished to a really high standard. The view from the hot tub was fantastic; it was just unfortunate that the weather wasn’t quite good enough to watch an early sunrise. It turned out to be a perfect location for us. We were able to get a taste of Devon, parts of Cornwall and even spent a day in Dorset. We look forward to returning.

- Jonathan, June 2022
Brian May 2022

Martin April 2022

“An outstanding property with everything you need.”

The property is very clean & tidy. Couldn’t have wished for a nicer place. The owners provided a welcome basket with some wonderful & delicious goodies! And as for the hot tub, just a little slice of heaven. The perfect place for a quiet retreat to rest & recharge. Thank you

- Martin, April 2022
Neil March 2022

“10/10 - a really lovely property in an excellent location.”

Ross February 2022

“A truly beautiful location and wonderful accommodation.”

Peaceful, romantic and exactly what was needed to rest and relax. Shame we weren't there longer. The Little Silver Nugget is much bigger than the photos suggest, and everything needed is provided. The welcome hamper of fresh bread and eggs, was a very nice touch, and very much enjoyed. We will definitely be looking to return and enjoy that hot tub, with those views again. Ross & Emma Wills

- Ross, February 2022
Jake January 2022

“Fantastic property.”

Cannot recommend Little Silver Bullet enough, Peter and Lisa have thought of everything you could need, from kitchen appliances and utensils, to books and DVDs and guides of the local area and attractions. The hot tub was located in a beautiful private setting and was enjoyed throughout our stay. The cleanliness was fantastic for such a large accommodation and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Perhaps the best value for money property we have ever stayed in.

- Jake, January 2022

Marilyn December 2020

Thank you for our welcome hamper we thoroughly enjoyed everything - especially the honey. We would love to come back for another visit.

Gareth November 2020

“Wow! My partner and I had an amazing stay at Little Silver Nugget, the property far exceeded our expectations the photos do no justice it is perfect!”

A very spacious, clean and comfortable property in beautiful North Devon, well equipped with everything we could have needed and more even a welcome hamper with fresh eggs, milk etc on arrival which is a nice touch after a long journey! Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and everything about the property has been carefully thought out right down to the last detail! The hot tub is really special, a short walk down from the property with incredible views over the Taw Valley, amazing to relax and enjoy the stunning views! We were able to enjoy the hot tub as much as we liked despite typical November weather so don't let this put you off! The property is located within easy reach of local shops, amenities etc including some fantastic local pubs, we recommend The Bell Inn (Chittlehampton) and The Exeter Inn (Chittlehamholt) for fantastic food and drinks! I have no doubt we will return again soon! Thank you!

- Gareth, November 2020

Peter September 2020

“Little Silver Nugget, what a find !”

A beautiful cottage set in beautiful surroundings. Our holiday was made perfect by our stay in such a tasteful, spotlessly clean, immaculately presented property. Everything was provided for our stay there including, a most thoughtful basket of immediate necessities one would need on arrival after a long journey. The kindness , thoughtfulness and generosity exceeds anything we have experienced on any previous holiday. Would highly recommend Little Silver Nugget.

“Absolutely gorgeous place.”

The photos didn't do it justice and it really exceeded our expectations.

The hot tub had gorgeous views and was readily available whenever we wanted! Perfect.

- Nicola, February 2020

Ashleigh February 2020

“Coming from London me and my husband wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of London life.”

I done a lot of searching and researching and when we came across this place it seemed to good to be true. When we arrived we was met by Peter who showed us around and show us how to use everything, Peter and Lisa also left us a welcome hamper which was very cute and helpful as we forgot to stop and buy milk. The property is so much bigger than the pictures lead you to believe. The views are incredible and getting in the hot tub every morning looking out was just breathtaking, it was so peaceful and quiet and although the WIFI wasn't great being off the road, we didn't actually mind because it allowed us to switch off from everything, but then if you turn off wifi our data worked absolutely fine so was able to Google places to go. When me and my husband plan to go away in the uk unless your going to a hotel you never know what to expect or what will be in your accommodation so we packed for everything, but we didnt need too, they provided dressing gowns for the trip up and down to the hot tub and even a few essentials at the property. Surprisingly even though we came down in February and came in the middle of 2 storms it wasn't as cold as we thought it was going to be, but this property has the benefits of underfloor heating and even on a low heat every part of the property was warm. Anyway that's the end of my long review, so just want to say thank you to Peter and Lisa for our amazing stay.

- Ashleigh, February 2020
Cheryl January 2020

Donald October 2019

“Little silver nugget is a lovely, spacious, beautifully appointed cottage with very welcoming hosts Peter and Lisa living next door.”

The views are amazing with the hot tub strategically placed to take advantage of this. A very thoughtful welcome pack on arrival was a very kind gesture and started our holiday as it finished just fabulous. So much to see and do in the surrounding area would highly recommend, a return visit is a must.

- Donald, October 2019
Silvano October 2019

“The description of the location of the "woodland hot tub" was "a short walk away".”

In reality, we had two choices. The shorter route was about 50m - made up of freshly-churned soft, wet, mud and puddles, followed a set of loose gravel steps. The gradient was quite steep. For someone with mobility issues, like my wife, it was a challenge. The alternative route was about 75m, equally steep in gradient with 2 sets of gates to pass through and more steps to negotiate than on the shorter route. We were determined to make good use of the hot tub and we suceeded, but the walk there and back was unpleasant...even for myself in stout shoes. A bit more information about access to the hot tub is needed, so future visitors will be better informed as to what they are letting themselves in for, especially in bad weather. That said, we would thoroughly recommend the cottage to our more althletic friends!

- Silvano, October 2019

The owner thanks you for your comments and is replacing the path with gravel to cope better with wet conditions. We have added a note of the distance to the listing. Property Owner

“This place is quite perfect.”

It is set in the most beautiful area with stunning views. The accommodation is spacious, clean & they have thought of everything. The hot tub is lush with a perfect view. The peace & tranquility are a far cry from the city life that I’m used to. It is not possible to dislike this place. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and are rightly proud of their award-winning properties. We visited numerous places by car during our stay & there are lots of quality places to eat nearby too. Clovelly is well worth a visit - loved it; as is Morwenstow Rectory Farm Tea Room followed by a coastal saunter. We found a fab seafood bar in Ilfracombe (although Ilfracombe itself is lacking in character & not much to do) & there are two Michelin star places within easy drive of the property. Saunton Sands is good if you fancy a surf & there is a good Beachside restaurant. Arlington House is national trust and has a nice tearoom. There are also some excellent pub-grub places such as The Bell at Chittlehampton & The Rising Sun just up the road. The Little Silver Nugget is in the most picturesque area with lovely walks and farmland. It’s quintessentially English and I love that. Picture-postcard perfect. On arrival we received a packed hamper & quality wine. The hamper had eggs from their chickens, homemade scones & shortbread, tea, homemade marmalade. The fridge had milk & butter in it. The laundry room is excellent. The kitchen is excellent. There is one main bathroom with a lovely shower and another separate toilet room. Towels are provided. A raft of books & dvds provided if you are rained in. Grass and seating outside if you want a picnic. The local Londis (and petrol station) is a short drive and well stocked for essentials. A lovely week and would definitely return.

“Wow! What a holiday!”

We chose Little Silver Nugget for our minimoon and I am pleased to say it exceeded our expectations. The accommodation itself is 5 star and is much more spacious than the pictures suggest. It is extremely luxurious and comfortable. The situation of the property is unbeatable. It is nestled in a valley with the most incredible views, especially from the hot tub which is down a little track. There is a patio at the front of the property and a pleasant garden area with use of deck chairs which we were very pleased to use on a hot day. Peter and Lisa, the owners, who live in the main house adjoining the annexe, were a pleasure to deal with and have created a really lovely set up. We would love to visit Little Silver Nugget again, which we don’t often say, as we had the most wonderful time and it was a great base to explore the local area.

“We had a fantastic holiday at the Little Silver Nugget.”

The cottage was much larger than we expeted and was very well equipped. Lisa was a fantastic host - meeting us on arrival to hand over the keys and explaining how everything worked and then turning the cottage upside down to find my son's treasured teddy when we left. We will definitely return again for another visit and have already recommended it to my parents. A really lovely holiday - thank you.

“The cottage is much bigger than we expected and is very well equipped.”

We had a really friendly welcome with a gift hamper of local things which was a real treat. The hot tub with the spectacular views is amazing and shouldn’t be missed. I’d thoroughly recommend this for a relaxing couples holiday. I’ll definately be booking again!

“A well kept and well equipped cottage in a beautiful countryside location.”

“We enjoyed every single bit of our mini holiday and would definitely recommend the Silver Little Nugget.”

We will definitely be back to this location. The owners made us feel very welcome and helped us celebrate our honeymoon with a welcome hamper and a bottle of Prosecco.

- Aidan, November 2018
Jeff November 2018

“This cottage is extremely well presented, very clean and obviously looked after.”

Attention to detail is very easy to see and the welcome form Peter on arrival was very nice. Good information given about the cottage and surrounding area along with a very nice hamper put together for our arrival was very satisfying. Lovely views from the cottage and hot tub which is always nice to come back to after a day out in this lovely part of the world. A great place to stay if you want to completely chill out and relax.

- Jeff, November 2018
Sarah November 2018

“I would recommend this place to anyone, lovely annex, very spacious, clean and comfortable.”

The welcome basket that was left for us by the owners was amazing, it ment we could relax and have a nice cuppa before going shopping after a long journey. Even though the annex is joined on to the main house we didn't hear or see the owners unless we wanted to, which me and my husband prefer. The only down side to this property which me and my husband felt is the hot tub was not next to the annex it is a short walk down the drive, the owners do supply bathrobes which is very nice but it just ment we had to walk past the main house in bathrobes which we didn't feel comfortable in doing. But that's out preference.

“Little Silver Nugget may only be two rooms and a kitchen but the rooms are large and spacious and very modern having been created for the owners personal use initially.”

It has all the facilities you would expect of a modern home. The owners are on site and very friendly and took an interest in ensuring that we had everything we needed for a good holiday. As a result we had a very good holiday.

Debra May 2018

“This is a lovely property which is appointed really well.”

The views are stunning and the hot tub is a lovely place to relax in. The hosts were lovely, friendly people. There were one or two minor issues and what bothered us may not bother other people. The hot tub is a short walk away from the property which allows for the best views. For us however this felt exposing. We had to walk in dressing gowns in front of the adjacent properties and when we stayed this also included tradesmen working on the house. It just wasn’t private enough. This of course may not bother other people. I think it should be made a little clearer on the advert. The workman was also very busy repairing and making a lot of noise on our final day which didn’t make for a relaxing end to the holiday. The other small issue was similar in that the outside space offered had no privacy. In future for us an adjacent property just isn’t the right choice.

“We had the most wonderful time at Little Silver Nugget.”

The pictures are amazing but in reality it’s even more amazing! It was the perfect cosy getaway with beautiful views and surroundings. We were treated to a wonderful welcome from Peter, including a hamper full of goodies and had everything we could need in the cottage and plenty of information for us to explore and make the most of our trip. Couldn’t recommend Little Silver Nugget enough - especially the hot tub and the views! And the chickens which came up to say hello! :)

“Little Silver Nugget is a perfect spot to relax and unwind.”

We were so pleased that Cornish Cottage Holidays and the Proprietors facilitated our request to re-schedule our holiday, which we had to cancel in May, due to an acute family illness.

The property

A slice of luxury set in the heart of the rolling Devonshire countryside, Little Silver Nugget is the perfect romantic retreat for lovebirds wanting a blissful escape from life's daily hubbub.

Relax and unwind, whilst you stargaze from your very own private woodland hot tub, that sits in the most magnificent position overlooking the valley below.

Wind your way through the leafy Devon valley and over the humpback railway bridge in the little village of Umberleigh.

An uphill country track will reveal breathtaking valley views as you turn into the driveway sweeping past the owner's Victorian villa to the beautifully renovated annexe - Little Silver Nugget.

Step inside, through patio doors to the atrium where a complimentary welcome hamper awaits you, into a wonderful, spacious interior, decorated in creamy hues with elegant furnishings to create a calming and tranquil abode from which you'll be reluctant to leave.

Choose to take breakfast in the bright and airy kitchen or outside on the sun drenched patio.

Intimate dinners for two or celebrations with friends can be enjoyed in the main dining room, leading into the living room, a central skylight flooding the room with daylight.

A kingsize pocket sprung bed, dressed in the finest Egyptian cotton linens will lull you into a blissful night's sleep.

Restored to its former glory a Victorian utility room, once part of the main house, offers additional space for storage and provisions.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and let your stresses melt away in the summer sunshine or lay back and enjoy the stars in your very own woodland private hot tub (the hot tub is about 100m away from the door of Nugget and across a gravel path and down a few steps) overlooking the valley.

Bring your hiking boots as this is great walking country, set between the two National Parks, Exmoor and Dartmoor.

Within striking distance of the coast, enjoy summer day trips to the golden beaches of the North Devon coast, Woolacombe, Saunton Sands and Croyde all within a 45 min car journey, or enjoy browsing the shops or the famous Pannier Market at North Devon's main town, Barnstaple, a ten minute drive.

If you enjoy real ale, jump on the train at Umberleigh, just 2 miles, for the Rail Ale Trail between Exeter and Barnstaple stopping to sample some real ales along the way.

There is no shortage of places to eat out close by, choose from fine dining to wholesome, home cooked pub grub.

Weirmarsh Farm is one not to miss, an intimate family diner serving home cooked food, less than a mile - but booking in advance is essential.

Champagne,chocolates and strawberries can also be arranged on arrival for that special celebration, direct through the owner.

Note: This property can be booked with 988227, 1000432, 1000434 & 1079728 sleeping a total of 10.
