Escape with your loved ones to this lovely lodge-style retreat for four that sits in the grounds of a thatched cottage, just 5 miles from the historic port town of Bideford. During the day, head into Bideford to check out its traditional high street shops and cafes and take a walk along its pretty riverside. In the evening, come home to spend fun evenings BBQ-ing in this cottage’s peaceful garden with your nearest and dearest.
Kick off shoes in the welcoming porch and continue through to the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Sink onto the sofa in the lounge area and take a moment to appreciate the space’s soaring ceilings, skylights and chic colour palette. When it's time to eat, head to the stylish kitchen area to whip up some dinner, and then gather everyone together to eat at the dining table. Alternatively, access the wide bi-fold doors onto the sun-drenched tiered patio to enjoy a sizzling BBQ feast together. Afterwards, sip a glass of something cool and crisp under a starry sky, or retire to the lounge to stretch out on a sofa to catch up on your favourite TV shows. At the end of the day, there are two beautiful bedrooms waiting for you. The master has a king-size bed and an en-suite, while the super-king (can be converted into a twin on request) has its own stylish shower room. Parking is available for two cars.
Spend a fun-filled day at The Big Sheep (3 miles) amusement park, where you can laugh at sheep racing, hop on the roller coasters and admire the sheepdog demonstrations. Alternatively, head off to the charming seaside town of Westward Ho! (5 miles) to stroll along its famous 2-mile-long beach and try your hand at surfing.
