Summercombe is a stunning detached Grade 2 listed, detached barn conversion cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside yet less than 3 miles from the spectacular North Devon coastline in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property nestles into the hillside and offers far reaching country and sea views from the grounds. This pet friendly property has a field for you to exercise your dog and there are footpaths leading directly from the grounds that offer exhilarating walks towards the small cove beach of Hele that is pet friendly all year round.  It is the sister holiday let of Court Cottage which is in the centre of Berrynarbor village itself.

The town of Ilfracombe is just a short drive away with its spectacular coastal scenery, picturesque harbour and intriguing  statue of Verity. Ilfracombe offers plenty to do including boat trips to Lundy Island, seal spotting, fishing trips, wandering around the many arts and craft galleries and a good choice of cafes and restaurants including a Michelin star restaurant.  Ilfracombe also has Tennis Courts available at Bicclescombe Park which is ideal for children as well.

Our hosts, Ally and Steve, couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The barn conversion is very well done and is warm, airy, comfortable and very easy to live in. There is a beautiful sea view from the front door and loads of dog friendly space just a few yards away. Outside, all you can hear is birdsong, the wind in the trees and the occasioRead morenal sheep. The welcome pack was the most generous we have ever received. We will be back next year and I thoroughly recommend this cottage. Hide

We had a fabulous stay in this wonderful cottage. The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented and fully equipped.

This was by far the best cottage we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The location is perfect for access to lots of places to visit and a supermarket, yet feels so remote when you arrive.

We loved our week's holiday at this property. Everything that we could need or think of, was provided. Yes, even the eggs and pot of honey was really appreciated.

Perfect, relaxing getaway. Would 100% book again. So many little things made it feel special, the named eggs were a treat, the toys for the children. Wish we could have stayed longer!
