Property code: OC-WILLI

For a memorable getaway, stay at this idyllic clifftop cottage, nestled between Clovelly and Westward Ho! on the South West Coast Path. With its stunning sea views from Baggy to Hartland Point, the cottage is the perfect retreat for a romantic couple or a small group of friends. Look forward to a spacious open-plan layout, a light and airy atmosphere, and lots of cosy touches throughout.

Unwind in the lounge area with a warming wood burner and a window seat to take in the view. The separate dining room has a few steps down to the kitchen, which is separated by a glass partition. A stable door leads out to the garden, which features a patio and picnic bench, perfect for al fresco dining with a BBQ. Make your way up the steep cottage-style staircase to the attractive king-size bedroom where you can drift off to sleep to the sound of a nearby waterfall tumbling down to the sea. The compact double room also offers gorgeous sea views and shares the family bathroom. Outside, there is a low wall separating the front lawn from a babbling stream.

From the cottage, you can take a stroll along the beach (300 metres) and explore the abandoned lime kilns, rusty winches and the rocky spit said to be built by the devil. Venture into Clovelly and discover its cobbled streets and fishermen’s cottages (5 miles) or take a fishing trip from the harbour. For those with a passion for surfing, Westward Ho! (9 miles) and its beautiful stretch of golden sand awaits. Alternatively, you can take a boat trip to the wild and beautiful Lundy Island, located just off the coast of Bideford (9 miles). Here you may be lucky enough to spot seals, dolphins and puffins.

This place is unreal, we had an amazing week celebrating my partners 40th birthday. The cake on arrival was a beautiful touch and I now desperately want a coffee machine. Lying in bed looking out to Clovelly, the sea and the fabulous sky for me was just the best and we were so sad to leave. We went very fortunate with the weather so didnt make useRead more of the garden however the quick cuppa out there was precious. My only negative for us was whilst dogs are welcome for us it wasnt dog friendly. We have to spaniels who like to get wet and muddy and trying to contain them in an area till they were clean and dry was challenging. Hide

Stunning location, loved looking at the sea on both a calm and stormy day. Comfortable well equipped cottage in a quiet part of Devon well placed to visit nearby beaches and attractions. The best thing for me was the many walks straight from the front door woods, beach and coastal my dogs loved it. The only downside is whilst the garden is enclosedRead more my dog jumped the fence within minutes, with a resident dog next door it meant I had to keep them both on leads in the garden. Hide
