Property code: OC-SWALBA

A characterful cottage within 12 miles of Westward Ho!, one of North Devon’s most popular beaches. Ideal for a small family or pair of couples seeking tranquillity in a rural location, the property features a colourful sitting room, two spacious bedrooms and access to an enclosed lawned garden at the rear.

Surrounded by glorious countryside and pretty gardens at the front, this two-storey cottage has been tastefully laid out to create a rustic ambience you’ll look forward to returning to - if you leave at all. Enjoy family games and film nights by the wood burner in the comfortable lounge or clink glasses while treating yourselves to hearty meals in the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner. The first floor’s family bathroom is large enough for everyone and two nearby bedrooms - a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom - are spacious areas offering ample storage and the perfect hideaway for long lie-ins. Morning coffees can be enjoyed on the decked area at the front of the cottage or the enclosed garden to the rear, an area shared with the cottage’s owners and their very tame chickens.

Numerous riverbank and woodland footpaths fork off from Yarnscombe (100 metres), taking in remarkable scenery along the way. Numerous villages and towns including Newton Tracey, Torrington and Bideford can be found within 10 miles of the cottage, each one offering a Devonian welcome with plenty of local produce, historic sites and winding streets to explore. The village of Westward Ho! (12 miles) has one of the most popular beaches in North Devon and is a mecca for water sports lovers.
