Located beneath willow trees within a traditional Victorian farm, Plumtree Cottage is a cosy stone barn conversion placed within the sprawling countryside of North Devon. With a shared heated outdoor pool, guests can take a refreshing morning swim before exploring the rolling hills and colourful cliffs that epitomise the poetic beauty of Devon. Stunning beaches, attractions and country parks are all within 10 miles of this beautiful property.

An authentic farm experience awaits as the goats, sheep and other farmyard animals reside on-site whilst floral gardens enhance the feel of nature the property. Inside, the open-plan kitchen/lounge area encourages spending quality time with each other, whilst the triple bedroom (1 double and 1 single bed) is perfect for couples and small families. A kitchen equipped with an electric oven, hob and microwave is ideal for self-catering, and with all of the locally caught seafood available in the local village of Westward Ho!, there is no better excuse to have a night in with a home-cooked meal.

Beyond the cottage, guests are less than 2 miles away from the sandy beach of Westward Ho!, where you can lie back on the sand and watch the sun set over the horizon as the blue water sparkles. If you can tear yourselves away from the entrancing views, take a trip into Bideford just 3 miles away. Not only will you be spoiled for choice when it comes to pubs, restaurants and shops, you can also enjoy Burton at Bideford- a popular art gallery with diverse and complete collections, often with free entry. Whatever you do, enjoy a slice of the quiet life when you sink into the sofa back at Plumtree Cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our break. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. It was great to have a dedicated space where our dog could be let off the lead.

A lovely cottage with everything you could need. A great pool and play area for children. Very clean and comfortable cottage. Owner was very friendly. Not a problem for us but you did have to drive everywhere really especially with children. My husband said his lower car was a bit tight getting into the car park up a gravel slope so be aware.
