Property code: OC-41865

With spectacular views of the North Devon countryside and just 1.5 miles from Westward Ho! beach, this cosy, bright log cabin offers both coast and country rolled into one. This lodge-style property offers a private hot tub, wood burner, and patio BBQ so that guests can enjoy their stay in comfort and tranquillity. With access to Lundy, beaches and countryside and just 10 miles from the market town of Barnstaple, you’ll be spoiled for choice at this quirky retreat.

Although the property feels snug and cosy (thanks to the contemporary wood burner), it is in no way cramped as light is allowed to flow through the lounge/kitchen/dining area through the large French doors that open out onto the deck. The stylish grey and silver tones are brought to life by colourful artwork and details throughout the property. The two bedrooms are comfortable, with a fresh style and wooden backboards that bring character and vibrancy - the shared shower room continues this theme and adds to the bespoke feel of the property.

Just 3 miles from the cabin is North Burrows Country Park. At the western edge of the Taw Torridge Estuary, this grassy coastal plain offers unrivalled views and a truly authentic biosphere that’s open to guests all year round. Once you’ve lapped up enough of the countryside and coast, take a drive into Bideford just 3 miles from the property, and wander the local shops, restaurants and bars along the River Torridge. Make sure you’re back in time to warm up by the wood burner and watch the stars appear over the hills.

The Old Spot was a lovely lodge, quiet & peaceful, but with the pub a minute away with a good menu. Lovely walk of approx 20mins through Kipling Tor woods to Westard Ho! Food was really tasty in cafes especially Ocean 51. Enjoyed food & drinks in the Village Pub too.... a great find!

We stayed at Old Spot, The Pig on the Hill, in Bideford, Devon. The accommodation was spot on with everything we needed for a good holiday. I have never felt more at home on holiday than here. It was a small site with only 5 lodges and so peaceful. The hot tub was HOT so we could use it straight away. The award winning pub on site was excellent witRead moreh an amazing range of good home cooked food and the staff were super friendly. Loads of places to visit in close proximity. 10/10. Hide

Lovely log cabin in a really good location. If you want to explore north Devon, or even run down into Cornwall this is a great base to work from, just off the A39. However, if you just want to relax on the deck and the hot tub it is quiet and secluded. Would happily stay again.
