  • Impressive, although initially deceptive property right on the water’s edge with views across to Bideford, combining stylish and traditional features
  • A short level stroll into the heart of the market town of Bideford with bustling quayside, shops, pubs and restaurants, cafes etc
  • A few steps from the Tarka Trail where you can enjoy traffic free walking and cycling while exploring the rugged North Devon coastline
Property code: 79552

Sitting on the banks of the River Torridge just half a mile from the centre of Bideford, this fantastic property promises an unforgettable escape to guests. Sleeping six over three comfortable bedrooms, this gorgeous property is an opportunity to relax and unwind in style with plenty to do on your doorstep. Join the 180-mile traffic-free Tarka Trail as you step outside either on foot or by bike, which you can hire from Bideford Bicycle Hire which is almost next door.

Whether you’re enjoying summer evenings in the garden around the BBQ or you’re curled up in front of the fire in the lounge, everyone will find their own corner here. The kitchen diner is fresh and bright thanks to bifold doors leading out to riverside views, while the oak dining table makes it a pleasure to eat meals at. At bedtime, nab the main bedroom to have your own en-suite shower room and a balcony; wake up and head through the bifold doors with your morning coffee to sit and watch the Little White Town wake up.

When you’ve explored the impressive market town, head to Westward Ho! (3.5 miles) where the fantastic surf, amusement arcades and the dramatic Northam Burrows Country Park will keep you busy for hours. The BIG Sheep (2 miles) is perfect for adrenaline-seeking children, as is the Milky Way Adventure Park (9.5 miles) which is ideal if you’ve brought your dogs as they’re welcome to join you around the park. Stroll around the pretty gardens at RHS Rosemoor (8.5 miles) or go gnome and pixie hunting at the quirky Gnome Reserve (12 miles) where over 60 gnomes are hiding among the wildflowers and woodland.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king size, 1 twin zip-and-link (which can be made into a super-king-size by request at time of booking) and 1 double
