Set against a picturesque backdrop within a pretty country courtyard, this single-level cottage is etched with farmland tradition. This property is perfect for those seeking privacy without seclusion and is less than a mile away from the village of Westward Ho!. Surrounded by 15 acres of woodland, guests can stroll for hours and marvel at the glorious countryside, so evoking that it inspired classic English poets such as Rudyard Kipling.

The classic stone exterior juxtaposed with the stylish interior of the cottage is welcoming and elegant, whilst the convenience of the shared heated pool and play facilities for the kids are inviting touches. Nautical ornaments and a seaside-themed colour scheme will give guests that holiday feeling without having to skimp on the 21st century must-haves. A well-equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi and TV/DVD in the lounge mean that quiet nights in are filled with entertainment. With one double bedroom and one single bed room.

Away from the cottage, the two major family attractions of The BIG Sheep (1 mile away) and The Milky Way Adventure Park (8.5 miles away) are both excellent choices and offer a variety of activities including farm safaris, dodgems, and mini golf. The sandy beach of Westward Ho! is also just 2 miles away, and the market town of Bideford (3 miles away) is flushed with inns, pubs and restaurants to keep the family fed, watered and ready for the next adventure.

We loved our stay, the cottage was small but clean, modern and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable with decent mattresses and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool was fabulous, even on a cloudy day the kids loved it and the poolside area is a little suntrap. The playground was a great bonus for the kids too. Wed love to come back!

A lovely cottage highly recommend, spotlessly clean and not too far from amenities. We enjoyed our stay, hope to go back next year.

Lovely cottage, in a wonderful setting, with everything you could need. We took our dog and he had a great area in the garden to run around in. You do need a car to get around unless you are happy to spend your time in Westward Ho! which is about 15 mins walk up a narrow road and then down, fairly steep, along footpaths. Overall a great holiday andRead more would highly recommend. Hide

Lovely and clean on arrival, well equipped and everything you could need. The only issue with the accomodation we had was a lack of clothes storage space and a very snall master bedroom.

We loved our stay here. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for the week. The owner was lovely and friendly. There was a field where we could let our dog have a good run around which was a massive bonus. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay there again. Location was fab for all the places we went to.
