Situated in an elevated position with prime views over the River Torridge to Instow, this stunning property promises a tranquil escape to guests. Spacious and welcoming with a perfect blend of the traditional and contemporary, this pretty cottage offers an opportunity to unwind among superb scenery and comfortable surroundings. Wake up in one of the light and airy bedrooms, head down to the top patio area with your cup of tea and look out across the water.
Whether you’re off down the South West Coast Path (0.5 miles) or you’re curled up with a book in the snug, you’ll find your own way to unwind here. The interiors embrace the soothing blue tones of the sea as well as the calming colours of nature, creating a fresh yet cosy feel. In the evening, turn on the flame-effect gas fire in the lounge and sit in the chairs looking out towards the river as the light fades. Balmy nights call for sizzling up a BBQ on the top patio and dining alfresco, or simply enjoying a tipple on one of the other two patios that both have their own character.
Hope on the foot ferry over to Instow (2 miles; 5 miles by car) and spend the day at the beach or sampling the food and drink at the pubs and cafes. You could also walk to Tapeley Park (2.5 miles by foot ferry; 4 miles by car) where the open gardens and stunning house sit high on a hill overlooking the River Torridge. Children will love the 2-mile stretch of sands at Westward Ho! Beach (3 miles) as well as the thrilling rides at the BIG Sheep (4 miles).
