Explore Devon’s exceptional coast and countryside with a stay in this charming, picturesque property – a family-friendly retreat just 2 miles from the sea. North Devon’s section of the beloved South West Coast Path is also just 2 miles away, connecting you to the county’s coastal beauty spots and leading down to Cornwall (13 miles). Peppercombe Beach is your nearest coastal spot, where resident seals, dolphins and porpoises can often be seen from its shingle shore. Further along the coastline, discover Westward Ho! (6 miles), offering a more traditional, sandy beach that’s a hotspot for surfing and a variety of water sports. The twin villages of Appledore (6 miles) and Instow (7 miles) are also nearby, connected by a passenger ferry during peak summer months. Explore both before treating the kids to a day at The BIG Sheep (2.5 miles), a family-friendly attraction with rides, animals and a packed events calendar.
Whitewashed stone walls, original beams and classic farmhouse charm make this cottage a warm and inviting place to call your own. Step into the longhouse-style lounge/diner, where two distinct areas are separated by a small flight of steps. The lounge is warm and cosy, with comfy seating arranged around a Smart TV and wood burner for restful evenings in. Just up a few steps, the sturdy wooden dining table features bench-style seating – perfect for family mealtimes. Head down to the lower ground floor to find the kitchen, a handy space equipped with all the necessary appliances, and a utility room with added storage and laundry facilities. When the day’s adventures are done, retreat upstairs to three bedrooms on the first floor. The largest is a master king-size bedroom, while the smaller two are arranged as a bunk room and a cosy single. All three rooms share a modern family bathroom with a bath and shower for your choice of a soak or rinse.
Step outside to enjoy the pretty scenery of the private garden at the side of the property. Although attached to the owner’s home, care has been taken to ensure your privacy in the furnished patio and lawn area. You’ll also have access to a separate games barn – a dedicated hangout space for children and teens. With a plush L-shaped sofa, Smart TV, selection of games, a pool table and a darts board, it’s a perfect space for hours of entertainment. Private parking for two cars is also provided.
