This charming stone cottage is located close to the North Devon seaside resort of Westward Ho!, a great base for exploring the coast and surrounding area that blends traditional and contemporary country stylings. As part of a complex with other similar properties, there are some excellent on-site facilities including a shared outdoor swimming pool, a childrens’ play area and pleasant gardens to enjoy. Ideal for growing families, children will love meeting the resident farm animals like the goats, sheep and rare breed pigs.

The spacious interior is characterised by its wooden beamed ceilings and original features throughout. After a fun day down at the beach, you can unwind and enjoy the comfortable lounge. If the children still have energy to burn they can tear around the play area or splash about in the pool. There are no limits as to what to cook in the well-equipped kitchen, there’s even a shared BBQ area close by for a fair weather feast.

Being close to Westward Ho! you are at the busy western edge of the North Devon region with family attractions like The BIG Sheep and The Milky Way adventure parks less than 5 miles away; the sandy beaches of Westward Ho! and Northam Burrows; and the curious unspoiled village delights of Clovelly. For shopping, Barnstaple (10 miles) and Bideford (2 miles) have a good mixture of High Street and independents to meet your needs. Choose this property for a perfect break for the family in Devon.

The cottages are lovely clean and well cared for, the gounds kept spotless. One or bulbs gone, i am sure had we raised it the owners would have resolved imediately, however it wasnt an issue to us. The pool area is lovely, well maintained and as dogs are allowed in the area makes it so much easier when travelling with a furry member of the family.

This is a nice quote location the children loved the pool but it was very cold so didnt stay in long. The cottage was nice clean and good size for family of four. We were disappointed with very small fridge and freezer was a small box at top no dish washer. Great value for money with this property.
