Matt and Sophie would like to welcome you to Silver Cottage Bed and Breakfast Braunton, an ideal location for surfing at Saunton, walking and cycling. Our family run B & B is a Grade II listed cottage with modern luxuries, set in a terraced garden and surrounded by woodland.
For January and February, when booking with us for two nights stay midweek, we would be delighted to offer you a third night for free!
After having had a very happy and cosy Christmas here at the cottage with family and friends, we are swinging into a new year with vim and vigour!
We have planted two of Sophie’s Christmas gifts up in the top garden: two Mirabelle trees, the fruit of which make fabulous jam which we hope will grace our breakfast table for our guests in the Autumn. Sophie is as excited about this development as she is about the load of horse manure she has dug in to her new veg beds constructed by Matthew; heres to a productive and vegetable filled summer.
A massive push from all the neighbours ensured a fabulous celebration on Sunday night. The barn was decorated with all the trimmings so kindly sent to us from Linda in America (her generosity is unending). Included were spooky mirror gels, LED pumpkin rings, Charlie Brown pencils, flashing key-rings, scented candles, scary cup cake recipe book, spider napkins and halloween trinkets plus trick or treating bags in which the little monsters could collect their haul of candy.
The pumpkins were carved by Terry Martin from Maidstone, but the designs were produced by his tribe. The whole family stayed for the weekend but sadly had to leave on Sunday before the (fresh) apple punch was flowing. Next year mate, next year.
It was rather surreal overhearing Death chat to The Mummy Returns about roof insulation, and The Wicked Witch offering Wolf more sausage rolls. Isabelle made the most miraculous Fly Agaric Meringue Toadstools, there was Eyeball Jelly to schlurp and Bleached Bones to crunch on.
The highlight was the smallest revellers tromping down the road to trick or treat our generous neighbours: the night wound down with more apple punch and endless games of Bat the Bat.
Thanks for a really lovely stay. The sheets were cordial to a perfect nights sleep ahead of some fantastic golf at Royal North Devon. Perfect hosts. Perfect trip.
