Situated on the South West Coast Path less than 1.5 miles from the centre of Bideford, this fantastic property promises an unforgettable escape to guests. Spacious and comfortable, this wonderful holiday let is an opportunity to embrace Devonshire life with Appledore and Westward Ho! (both 3 miles) close by. Wake up to the gentle sounds of the river, grab your morning coffee and watch the morning unfold from the enclosed patio.

Whether you’re off down the Tarka Trail on bikes provided by the owner by arrangement or you’re gazing out at the views from the open-plan living area, you’ll feel close to the outdoors here. The interiors take advantage of the calming blue and white tones of the sea and there are lots of little nautical details dotted throughout. The open-plan living area is bright and airy during the day, but draw the curtains at night and light the ethanol-fuelled wood burner and it turns into a cosy haven. Sizzle up a BBQ out on the patio or head through the gate to join the South West Coast Path for a leisurely walk.

Kids who love their thrills will revel in the rides at the BIG Sheep (3 miles) and the Milky Way Adventure Park (10 miles), while you may prefer the peaceful cobbled streets of Clovelly (12.5 miles) with its tranquil harbour and stunning waterfall half a mile’s walk out of the village. Saunton Sands (16.5 miles) is a quiet beach that is ideal for paddlers and novice surfers.

Great view of the estuary from the bedroom window. Warm on arrival with clear instructions to adjust the heating if necessary. Missed the scones on arrival as described by previous guests but there was a box of chocolates which we enjoyed! Plenty of room both upstairs and downstairs.

What a wonderful place to stay ! The house was spotlessly clean and it felt home from home by the time we had unpacked. It was well equipped and warm and we appreciated the treats that we were given.Bideford itself doesnt have a lot to offer , but when you have such a wonderful view from the house and doggy walks on the coastal path out of the backRead more gate what more could we have wanted? It was also in a good location for exploring north Devon by car . We would highly recommend .Tide Side . Hide
