Be it for a celebration, a reunion or simply some time away with family and friends, this coastal cottage offers a beautiful base for a holiday in North Devon. Boasting a garden and balcony, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to relax outside when the sun is shining, whilst the open-plan living area with a wood burner provides a cosy retreat for cooler evenings. Ideally located for those who wish to walk on the South West Coast Path, the village of Mortehoe has a couple of great pubs to fuel you before and after your journey.

Welcoming you into the property is the entrance hall with ample space for storage. At the heart of the home is a wide-open living room/dining area with a floor-to-ceiling window offering beautiful views of the surroundings. A corner sofa and a selection of additional chairs make up the seating, with a charming wood burner and TV for a perfect setting. Around the corner, you’ll find the dining table with both chairs and bench-style seating to accommodate ten guests. Next door is the bright and airy kitchen with a breakfast bar for two and a modern, sleek finish. Three of the bedrooms can be found on the first floor, starting with a luxurious king-size bedroom complete with a dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and serene sea views from the window. The twin bedroom can be made up as a king-size upon request and has a calming sea theme whilst the final twin enjoys fun decor. These bedrooms share use of the family bathroom. On the lower-ground floor, there is a final double bedroom which celebrates the local area, located beside the final bathroom. In addition, the lower-ground floor is also home to the utility room, games room and the garden room. Outside, an enclosed garden offers space to dine alfresco on the raised deck to soak up the scenery.

Morehoe is well known for its meandering walking trails through coast and countryside, with Grunta Beach just a mile away where families can explore rock pools, take a dip in the sea or try their hand at surfing. A mile away, accessible via the South West Coast Path, is Woolacombe where you’ll find a whole host of activities for all ages from mini golf to beach swings. The picturesque bay stretches for miles with a flat seabed, whilst in the village itself, an array of independent eateries serve up delicious meals. Barricane Beach, located just next door to Woolacombe Beach is a lovely quiet cove, where Sri Lankan curry is served up on evenings during the summer as the sunsets for a memorable holiday experience.

A deceptively spacious home, well furnished and equipped and decorated with seaside themes.

Booked this property as a family holiday for 4 generations and the dog, we had a great time and the house was plenty big enough for all of us, we never felt like we were on top of each other. Having 3 bathrooms was helpful especially when trying to get out and about early. We ate out several times and can highly recommend Miss Feas and the nationaRead morel trust tea rooms, the cream tea was most welcome after walking the coastal paths.

Dilly Dally is like the tardis. From the outside it looks tiny, but its a lovely large property in Mortehoe village. Its well equipped and comfy for when weather is not so good. We would recommend.

Loved the location and comfort and would happily return in a heartbeat. The showers are fantastic. Just FYI the boiler heating timings may have been impacted by the time change but we had to keep an eye and adjust the thermostat as it often got cold when we were in. The thermostat on the towel rail in the toilet next to the kitchen is broken (beforRead moree we arrived) and is constantly stuck on high. It is uncomfortably hot in there whenever the heating is on.

Overall Dilly Dally exceeded our expectations, as a clean, spacious comfortable place to stay. We nearly dismissed the house pre booking, as we needed a walk-in shower. The ensuite walk in shower is not mentioned on Marsden site, but owners confirmed there was, so we booked. Also lack of clarity about wood for burner, some sites say it's provided,Read more others to contact housekeeping. Can't ring housekeeper from house, no mobile reception. Need email or Whatsapp contact. We were impressed with the well equipped kitchen, would recommend a bigger teapot for 4-6 guests, and some serving spoons. Unfortunately the basement bedroom and bathroom is very cold, needs a seperate heater, as the hall thermostat turns off central heating when heat from kitchen and log burner warms reception area. Would definitely think about revisiting in the summer. Hide

We loved the house. It was very well equipped and comfortable. Overall the house was very clean. The reason for not giving it a 5 for cleanliness was dust on the skirting boards, stains on the carpet and marks on the walls. Our holiday was at the very end of the season so the stains and marks are to be expected. This didn't our enjoyment of stayingRead more in the house at all. Hide
