NOTE TO DOG OWNERS
We welcome one well-behaved dog per cottage. It may be possible to accept two dogs but please contact us first so that we can co-ordinate the doggy population here with the other holiday cottage! We do ask that dogs do not go upstairs or on any of the furniture. We provide a stairgate to help with this and can supply a throw. We do also request that pets are not left alone in the holiday cottages as they can sometimes become distressed and could cause damage or disturb guests in the neighbouring cottage.
There is a special bin in the garden for doggy bags and a small paddock where they can run around. Both the garden and the paddock are securely fenced with wooden post and rail fencing with wire stock fencing along the bottom rail. We can recommend an excellent kennels nearby that runs a day creche for dogs if you are really stuck. We have used them ourselves and so are happy to recommend them.
About Sally and Michael South
Hi We are Sally and Michael South. After having spent 30 years in Kent, raising our two children and seeing them off to their Universities we were fortunate enough to be in a position to begin a new lifestyle in a beautiful part of the country. Michael, having spend all of his career in uniform, first with the British Army and then with the Fire Service and myself in various jobs, Banking, Retail and Cattery Management, we decided that our future was to be a life in the country running our own holiday let business.
Sally and Michael South purchased this cottage in 2011
Why Sally and Michael South chose Umberleigh
We looked all over the West Country for the perfect property, saw several, but Crossways in Atherington was by far the best. We have always loved Devon and have found North Devon to be unspoilt with such friendly people and the most beautiful rolling countryside. Every journey is a pleasure and I don't think we will ever grow complacent of the stunning scenery.
What makes this cottage unique
We found Crossways and fell in love with it straight away. The views were absolutely amazing and we couldn't wait to share it with our guests, family and friends. We set about putting our own finishing touches to a business that was already up and running, but we wanted to put our own stamp on it by adding more quality furniture of a single style, using locally sourced artwork to decorate the walls and the promoting of local businesses. Our next steps will be to introduce a new range of 'country themed' soft furnishings, install a well placed hot tub that will make the most of the stunning views that we are blessed with, and log burners in each cottage with double glazing throughout to make the cottages even more snug and welcoming especially during the winter months.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views
Exmoor Cottage was everything we hoped for and we loved the beautiful rural location with fabulous views. The cottage is delightful - cosy, comfortable and peaceful. The enclosed garden and additional enclosed paddock were perfect for our dog who was made to feel as welcome as we were. We are already looking to see when we can stay there again. Thanks Lory and Colin and we really appreciated the essentials left for us and the cake was delicious. We hope to see you again soon.
Lovely cottage
Very nice property. The owners are welcoming and relaxed in their approach. This was the most comfortable I have felt in a holiday home. Nice location with plenty of dog friendly beaches off season. Would definitely recommend and book again if we are down that way again.
Location
Ideally situated in between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, with free-roaming ponies and other wildlife. Breathtaking views of the rolling North Devon landscape from the guest's garden. We are quietly situated in a rural setting but without any of the typical narrow Devon lanes. A 10 minute drive to Dartington Crystal and RHS gardens Rosemoor in Great Torrington. A 20 minute drive to Barnstaple and many fantastic sandy beaches so popular with surfers and swimmers. Local tourist attractions include The Milky Way, The Big Sheep, Exmoor Zoo and many, many more!
