Discover the very best of Devon’s coast and countryside with a stay in this family-friendly cottage, 2 miles from the sea. Blending farmhouse charm with modern comforts, this whitewashed stone cottage is brimming with character, complete with a roaring wood burner, private garden and games room.

Inside, find a welcoming longhouse-style lounge/diner, split into two areas. The cosy lounge invites you to sink into comfortable sofas by the wood burner and Smart TV, while a few steps up, the dining table is perfect for hearty meals. On the lower ground floor, the kitchen is equipped with all the essentials you’ll need, plus a handy utility room for storage and laundry. At bedtime, head upstairs to three restful bedrooms – a king-size master, a bunk room, and a snug single – all sharing a modern family bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Outside, a private garden offers your own peaceful spot to relax, with a furnished patio, lawn, and an inviting hot tub for sunny afternoons and starry evenings. Younger guests will love the separate games barn, with a pool table, dartboard, Smart TV, L-shaped sofa and a great selection of games. With private parking for two cars, this cottage is an excellent base for exploring North Devon's coast and countryside.

The South West Coast Path is 2 miles away, guiding you to spectacular coastal viewpoints and into neighbouring Cornwall (13 miles). Peppercombe Beach is a shingle cove where seals, dolphins and porpoises are often spotted, while Westward Ho! (6 miles) is a classic seaside setting brimming with water sports and beachside fun. The twin villages of Appledore (6 miles) and Instow (7 miles) are a delight, with a ferry connecting them during summer.

We had a fantastic long weekend staying at Glendale Cottage. The cottage is beautiful, well equipped and in a tranquil setting. It was well situated for cliff walks, beach trips and exploring the North Devon coast.

We had a superb few days at Glendale Cottage. So tranquil. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making sure you have everything you need. The games room and snug in the cow shed are a great touch and very popular with our teens! Lovely big dining table and comfy lounge with a log burner made our February break very cosy. Also within eaRead moresy reach of lots of local attractions. Hide
