This rural escape in the heart of the North Devon countryside is the perfect place for families and couples to rest and recharge. Enjoy peaceful walks from your front door, or journey to the coast (3.5 miles) to join the long-distance South West Coast Path. You’ll also be within easy reach of the popular seaside resorts of Woolacombe (3 miles) and Ilfracombe (2.5 miles). After a day of adventure, fire up the BBQ in the spacious garden, and share an al fresco meal overlooking the open fields.

The wooden bungalow is arranged across one level and has a bright and inviting interior, with vibrant soft furnishings and fun accessories. The light, airy lounge has comfortable sofas to sink into after a long, moorland walk, and a Smart TV for catching up on all your favourite programmes. Gather in the stylish kitchen, which boasts far-reaching countryside views, to try new recipes and share mealtimes around the pretty dining table. The property has two bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – and a sleek bathroom completes the accommodation. The large, enclosed garden is laid to lawn and is a peaceful haven where you can enjoy a spot of al fresco dining in the Devon sunshine.

The historic harbour town of Ilfracombe is the perfect place to while away a summer’s afternoon. Potter around the attractive harbour, admiring Damien Hirst’s Verity statue, or perhaps hop on a boat for a trip around the bay. Alternatively, grab your buckets and spades and head to Woolacombe, for a day of sandcastle building, surfing, and beach games on the 3-mile stretch of golden sand. If it’s peace and tranquillity you’re after, spend the day on Exmoor National Park (5 miles), following the remote tracks and trails and marvelling at the local wildlife.

Photos was very exaggerated, the camera angle made the rooms and garden look a lot bigger then they actually was. Although homely, some tlc is needed such as ripped wallpaper, shower door not shutting properly, mould in the shower area, ripped flooring. Not white silicone used for everything I.e on wooden flooring

We had a very happy, very relaxing holiday. Resthaven has a lovely atmosphere. It's very comfortable, cosy and a little quirky. Perfect base to discover North Devon. Or perfect for just staying in and relaxing. We would return there.

Lovely bungalow in a prime location with Woolacombe beach at just a five minute drive away. The land surrounds the property is beautiful and we spent every evening in the garden either BBQing or eating food prepped in the kitchen. If you're intending to spend a lot of time at the beach and outdoors then this place will be perfect.
