Situated in the rolling countryside with stunning views from the garden, this holiday let promises a fantastic break for the entire family. Cosy and welcoming with space for up to five guests, this property is an opportunity to enjoy a slower pace of life in a pretty Devon village while still being close to plenty of attractions. Get up early and spend the day walking along the trails at Exmoor National Park (15 miles) or take advantage of the Tarka Trail right on the doorstep.

Whether you’re reading up on the local area on the sofa in the dining room or simply soaking up the views outside, you’ll find your comfy spot here. The interiors embrace soothing country-style neutrals for a relaxing atmosphere with pops of pastel colours to add some quirks. The large bay window in the lounge makes it bright and airy during the day, but it becomes a tranquil haven in the evenings when the fire is lit.

When you’ve walked or cycled enough of the Tarka Trail, take a trip to Westward Ho! (10.5 miles) where there are plenty of cafes and amusements for all the family as well as the fantastic beach and Northam Burrows National Park to stroll around. RHS Garden Rosemoor (12.5 miles) is worth a visit to discover stunning roses and other beautiful flowers. Kids will love the BIG Sheep theme park, where there are rides and animals to suit all ages.

Lovely homely cottage, which is equipped with everything you need and more. Beautifully furnished, definitely home from home. We found it tricky to park our car (SUV) in the parking space at the back of the cottage so parked on the road where there was plenty of room. Great base to explore North Devon, would definitely stay again

Staying at Bettys Cottage was an absolute delight. Very well equipped and looked after property. Ideally located for visiting the beaches and towns/villages in North Devon. The local pub, Chichester Arms, offers fantastic food at a reasonable price and is only 15 minutes walk away. A thoroughly enjoyable week.

A lovely property to stay in - everything we could want in the cottage and garden - with the added plus of a log fire if the evening was chilly. We will happily return. Lovely views from both sides. The parking at the rear is tight for those who have a big car.

We were a family of four and we couldnt have asked for a better week spent at Bettys cottage. It was spacious, very well equipped, clean and extremely comfortable (especially the sofas and beds). The garden was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed many evenings sitting looking at the stunning views and having bbqs. Couldnt fault a thing. The ownerRead mores were on hand to answer any queries too. Location was perfect, it was so easy to get to the beaches and local attractions. Hide
