Property code: OC-N2052

This annexe of the owners bungalow, set on the fringes of Berrynarbor and perfectly placed for adventuring along the sprawling North Devon coastline. This homely abode is wonderful for couples seeking a seaside adventure with up to three waggy-tailed companions in tow. Venture along the steep rocky pathway to discover the hidden shoreline of Wild Pear Beach (1 mile), before toasting with a sparkling sundowner on the tranquil lawn.

This property features a light interior.  Enter into the inviting lounge/diner. Snuggle up on the plush seats amongst the throw pillows and unwind with some post-adventure nibbles. With a comfortable sofa bed to accommodate an extra guest or couple, there’s no excuse for missing out on late-night movie marathons. Sit at the dining table and plan out the perfect North Devon itinerary or gather for supper. Stock up the wooden kitchen cabinets with a selection of locally sourced goodies or whip up a simple spread to be devoured alfresco. When it’s time to turn in for the evening, rest up in the peaceful double then indulge in a leisurely breakfast in bed. Reline on the swing seat with your morning coffee and drink in the sweeping country views beyond.

Stroll along the bustling harbourfront of Ilfracombe (4 miles) then perch a sunny terrace sipping fine wine and sampling delicious dishes at the Mediterranean-style tapas bar. Descend the steep beach staircase to admire the rugged landscape of Rapparee Cove (3 miles), or gear up for a scenic SUP session on the glistening waters of Putsborough Sands (14 miles).

We had another lovely stay at spindrift cottage. Sue the owner is very friendly, helpful and full of information about the area. The cottage has just had a new bathroom and is up to a very high standard. The kitchen is very well equipped. Nice and peaceful, a short walk to the bus stops. Off road parking.

Spindrift cottage is spacious, cosy and very well equipped with a good sized garden at the back and parking for one car at the front. It is located on a quiet road but not far from the main road. It's a nice short walk into the lovely little village of Berrynarbor, although there are quite steep hills to contend with. Berrynarbor has a small but weRead morell stocked Community shop and Post Office. It doesn't have a pub anymore, but there are two within a reasonable driving distance. The beaches at Combe Martin and Ilfracombe are an easy drive away. The owner was friendly and helpful and we are definitely looking to go back to Spindrift Cottage soon. Hide

Lovely comfortable property & garden, perfect size for us & our dog for a wonderful week. Owner Sue was a wealth of very helpful local information. Ideal location to explore North Devon with dog-friendly beaches, lots of fabulous pubs & some stunning picturesque walks, highly recommend Lorna Doone Valley & Heddon Valley.

It was in a good location with comfortable beds. The cottage was very clean. The cottage is damp with a leaking toilet, noisy oven fan and a slow-flowing shower. It is an annex connected to the owners home.

I highly recommend this place. Recently, we visited with my wife and two children. Its a very quiet place. The owners are very hospitable. The apartment was very clean, with a garden where you can have a barbecue in the evening. After a day of exploring various nearby areas because theres really a lot to see around North Devon its a perfect placeRead more to relax. There are various attractions for children and adults alike. You can visit Ilfracombe, go on the boat to see beautiful coast of North Devon,or drive about 1 hour to the west to see Clovelly village, which I really liked, even though there was an entrance fee. If you want to forget about the hardships of everyday life for a few days, I highly recommend this place. It's perfect for unwinding, collecting your thoughts, and then returning to work after your holiday. So, five stars out of five. Hide
