Thistledene

I received a warm and friendly welcome from Tommy when I arrived and he kindly offered me a lift to a nearby venue the next day (I was in Braunton for a wedding). The room itself is large (huge bed!) and comfortable, with a small kitchenette in the corner that includes a fridge, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, though do note, there are no cooking facilities. This was fine for me (-I brought muesli with me.) Everything was clean and comfortable. There's also a seating area outside for your morning coffee. Thistledene is just 2 minutes from a bus stop from Barnstaple station, if you are travelling by train. From the same bus stop, buses take you to Saunton beach and Ilfracombe in 20-30 mins. The village centre is a seven minute walk away and there's a handy co-op store as well as restaurants and independent shops, a small wildlife centre and museum. I would stay there again.

We had a very good stay at Thistledene, it had everything that we needed. Thank you.

I only had a 3 night stay at Thistledene, but could have stayed longer. I am a solo traveler staying in Braunton, visiting relatives who live in Wrafton. I can stay with them but they have children and a dog, so it's quite pleasant to get away and have a bit of peace in the late evening. Thistledene, The Copper Room was so clean and ideal, it has a little outside space to sit and enjoy a drink, one of the many amenities on offer for an over-night stay. A toaster, milk, coffee and tea and all utensils are provided as well as TV and a lovely shower room, not forgetting a large comfortable bed. I will definitely stay again!

Lovely room with all necessary amenities. Perfect

Very friendly people. Lovely touch leaving us milk in the fridge. We didnt have any issues and enjoyed our stay. Would go back again.
