Located in the pretty North Devon village of Westleigh, this charming two-bed cottage offers a delightful retreat for a relaxing (or adventurous) holiday. Soak up the rustic atmosphere with exposed beams and stone walling, or plan leisurely days out to local spots like Westward Ho! Beach (4 miles) or the charming village of Appledore (4 miles), with its quaint streets and rich maritime heritage.

This charming traditional home has been beautifully restored with quality fittings and fixtures, along with pale walls that perfectly offset the dark ceiling beams. The well-equipped kitchen/diner is ideal for preparing delicious meals, while the spacious dining table presents an ideal spot for eating and planning tomorrow’s adventures. After dinner, head to the lounge and pop on the Smart TV for some chill time. The wood burner keeps you toasty on chilly evenings. At bedtime, pick from a lovely king room with an additional single bed and private en-suite shower room, or relax in the second king room. A charming family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, you’ll have an enclosed patio and a raised decking space for fresh-air breakfasts on mild Devon mornings.

Westleigh itself has a wonderful local pub just 100 metres away, while a stone''s throw away lies the golden sands of Instow Beach (1.5 miles). For a thrill-seeking adventure, children will adore, head to The Milky Way Adventure Park (11 miles) or The Big Sheep (11 miles). Both offer exciting rides, live shows and interactive exhibits. The coastal resort of Westward Ho! is your destination for surfing, windsurfing and paddleboarding. In Bideford (2.5 miles) you can join the Tarka Trail, a 180-mile trail through unspoilt countryside which is ideal for cycling and walking. Or plan a day out in historical Barnstaple (9 miles), excellent for shopping and eating out.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable, very clean, very well equipped, cosy when it needed to be - we had a particularly cold week in September 2024. The heating switched on for an hour here and there made us very cosy and it heated the place up fast. Handy for the very close Tarka Trail which was good for cycling(and also allowed me to prove to myself Read morethat I could make it back up the steep hill after our cycle ride!!!) Hide
