  • Pretty, detached single-storey cottage set in a quiet village location
  • Easy access to all of North Devon's most popular beaches and attractions
  • Secluded garden with seating for summer evenings
Property code: OLDMA

This pretty detached cottage is set in the grounds of an old manor house in the quiet village of Landkey, 3 miles from the bustling heart of Barnstaple and 10 miles from the beach at Braunton. This charming bungalow has a well-kept garden and gorgeous gazebo, and is surrounded by the beautiful North Devon countryside. The cottage is perfect for a small group of friends or family, and golf lovers will be in paradise with seven stunning courses within a 15 mile-radius, one of which is less than a mile away and three others are set right by the ocean.

The style of the property is of sleek Scandinavian elegance, with colours, fabrics and furnishings melding harmoniously. The lounge/kitchen/diner is a calm, bright space in the daytime, with patio doors giving access to the garden and all the mod cons you’ll need to feel at homely and cosy at night, when you’ll reminisce on your day and plan tomorrow’s adventures. The double bedroom is soft and tranquil, with flashes of flair such as the continental bedside cabinets. A lot of love and thought has gone into the unique style of this cottage. Outside there’s an enclosed garden, with a patio for BBQs and a sweet little summerhouse styled like a beach hut.

Beaches and beauty abound around the cottage. The golden sands at Croyde, Westward Ho! (11 miles) and Woolacombe (13 miles) are prized by surfers, and you can join them at the surf schools that proliferate here. Visit the mysterious coastal village of Combe Martin (13 miles), which has the longest High Street in England, and learn about Hunting the Earl of Rone, which happens there every Summer. Visit the stunning cliff-top chapel at Ilfracombe (15 miles), or enjoy its independent shops and pubs. These and so much more await you in North Devon.

An absolutely gorgeous cottage and very warm welcome, made to feel completely at home from the moment we arrived! The fresh eggs and cream tea was a wonderful touch too. Location was perfect to visit lots of local sights, most of which were recommended in the welcome book, we had a great time and would definitely come back.
