Property code: OC-R27561

When you’re ready for a holiday, take a break in this refurbished cottage. This property would comfortably accommodate a small family (and your dogs) and is part of a collection which can be rented out for an extended family getaway. You’ll be in a quiet spot in North Devon with huge grounds and lots of fun activities nearby to try.

The downstairs part of this property is mostly taken up by an open-plan living space. You’ll see a lounge, kitchen and dining areas with enough room for your party. The room is warmed by a wood burner for a cosy feel after a long day of adventuring. The shower room is also downstairs. On the first floor you’ll find a twin room and a double room, both comfortable and peaceful, so you can rest easily and feel refreshed throughout your stay. This property shares a lawn with the other cottages, and you can use the BBQs and picnic tables for sunny afternoons and dinners. You’ll also be able to access the 13-acre grounds, with woods and a lake, perfect for evening strolls or just exploring.

This part of the country is packed with activities for people who love the great outdoors. There’s beautiful wildlife at Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve (11.5 miles) and National Trust Dunsland (4 miles), plus birdwatching and fishing at Tamar Lakes Activity Centre (10 miles). This is also good for water sports, including kayaking and canoeing. Alternatively, try wakeboarding at North Devon Wake Park (12 miles) or surfing in Bude (14 miles). Finish your holiday with a hack across the gorgeous countryside with La Rocco Riding School, 8.5 miles.

Not an ideal location if you don't like driving on narrow, twisty lanes or want to be in the thick of things ... if you want a peaceful, rural retreat it is absolutely wonderful, we certainly loved it! The cottage was cosy but spacious enough for a family of four with good room sizes and plenty of storage.

We had a wonderful stay at Rainbow cottage and enjoyed the lovely welcome pack on arrival after a long journey. Cottage was really cosy and convenient for visits to nearby attractions. Very comfortable beds, we all slept very well. Setting was so peaceful and relaxing, we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and star gazing in the front garden.
