A charming property nestled on the banks of the River Torridge, sleeping four guests and within easy reach of Westward Ho!. Whether you’re visiting North Devon for a family seaside break or exploring the area with a group of friends, this home is a fantastic base.

The property is deceptively spacious and provides plenty of opportunity for you to socialise as a group; cooking, celebrating, or simply watching a movie together. The kitchen has all the amenities you need for a self-catering break and boasts a coffee machine for guests to use. A comfortable living room has a Smart TV with Netflix, while a separate conservatory houses a dining area with additional seating overlooking the river. Downstairs you'll also find a WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside is a fenced, patio courtyard,  and through the gate, direct access to the riverside path.

The popular Tarka Trail and North Devon Coast Path run right by the property, making this an ideal location for keen walkers and cyclists. Two miles away is the sandy beach at Westward Ho!, where you’ll find plenty to do, including paddleboarding, surfing and boat trips. The picturesque village has a few restaurants and shops to enjoy too. Market town Bideford is 1.5 miles from here, with access via boat to Lundy and more choices for eating and drinking. Take a walk down the quayside to reach the town and park, which includes a small paddling pool and playground equipment. For fabulous family days out, visit The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 miles) or The BIG Sheep (3 miles).

A perfect location with stunning views of the estuary, walking distance to all amenities and many local attractions within driving distance. If you enjoy walking or cycling this is a great location. The house provides everything you need, beautifuly clean, cosy and warm. Easy to make contact with the owner if any queries.

We would HIGHLY recommend a stay at this cottage. We were so pleased to see a welcome pack of tea,coffee, biscuits and milk when we arrived! Such a thoughtful touch! The conservatory looking out on the river was wonderful! And to sit in bed in the morning watching the river was just brilliant! Everything was spotless and there were plenty of informRead moreation sheets around the place. Thankyou for a wonderful stay in Bideford! We will definitely return in the future. Perfect location for the town! Hide

We had a really lovely stay at Tidal Reach, the view of the river is lovely to wake up to and changes throughout the day. A very easy 20 minute walk into Bideford. Every piece of equipment we could need. Lovely bedding and towels and very comfortable beds. Would like to go again. Thank you.

Really lovely place that we look forward to visiting again later this year. Only one observation. Bathroom Ceiling is peeling so could do with a refurb, when time allows.

Our second visit, no doubt you'll see us again. We had a lovely day at Hartland Abbey & another further afield at Lydford Gorge. Good weather made all the difference. We hired bikes & cycled to Instow on the Tarka trail. Good food & generous portions at the Instow Arms.

Tidal Reach is the perfect holiday home from home. It has everything you need for a great break and the position, overlooking the river at the back, is well placed for a supermarket and Bideford centre. It is well equipped, the beds are comfy and the owners are helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended.

We couldn't fault this clean, comfortable & well equipped cottage. Easy walk into town. We were lucky with the weather & enjoyed a very calm sunny walk around Baggy Point.

Lovely comfortable accommodation - everything you need for a great holiday. Nice treats as a welcome for us and the dogs. Felt safe and secure. Great riverside views. Nice park to walk the dogs in - just a 5 minute walk away. Slept really well in gorgeous comfy beds - or was it the sea air?? No it was the bed
