The house is in a great position by the river and was spotlessly clean and great for dog walking. The furniture in the living area is different to the website photos but is similar. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen sink is the smallest I have ever seen and is about 9 x 18 inches approximately. The bathroom handbasin is also small and narrowerRead more than the kitchen sink. The induction hob is stored between the side of the cupboard and fridge and has to be lifted out for use, it only has 2 cooking areas. We like to cook for ourselves mainly but ended up buying ready meals that could be heated up as it was easier. Hide

This is a small property, everything inside has been downsized; the kitchen sink half the normal size, the bathroom basin a small hand sink, the bed a double -not king as advertised. Beware the hob is stored down the edge of the cabinets and when placed on the worktop takes up most of the space. We had some nice day trips in the local area and our Read moredog enjoyed some nice walks on the coastal path. Hide

Tideside is brilliantly located with great views of the rising and falling tide on the Torridge estuary - boats at high tide, wading birds at low tide. The house is comfortable and well-equipped. It's just a short riverside walk to Bideford for shops and restaurants. Lots of places to visit in North Devon.

Amazing views. I am not a good sleeper but I have to say the bed, bedding and pillows were so comfy that I slept like a log! It is great having the extra downstairs loo. Lovely decor - pictures etc. Lovely owners who are helpful but not intrusive who left flowers on the doorstep on arrival and also for us to bring home.
