Property code: OC-RETREA

Tucked away in the small village of Knowle, you’ll be just over a mile from Braunton which has a fabulous choice of pubs, restaurants and shops. This single-storey accommodation offers a perfect base to enjoy the fabulous beaches and stunning scenery of North Devon. Return to your cottage and enjoy a BBQ in the courtyard or relax on the lawn as the kids relish the play equipment.

Set alongside the owner's own home, every thought has been given to ensure guests are made very welcome. The attractive modern dining room/kitchen has wonderful views over the countryside and is perfect for leisurely breakfasts whilst planning the day ahead. A stylish and cosy living room has a TV with a BluRay player for relaxing evenings. From here, patio doors lead into a sun lounge with comfortable wicker chairs. Then you can move into the completely private and fully enclosed rear terrace. Here, guests can enjoy a BBQ, relax in the sun or wind down with a glass of wine in the evening. Younger members of the family are free to share the owner’s own garden complete with a trampoline and play equipment. At the end of the day snuggle down in two beautifully presented bedrooms, a double with a TV, and a twin. Both rooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

A popular pub serving a good choice of menu is just over 300 metres away, but if you want more choice, the large village of Braunton is 1.5 miles south. Here, you’ll find shops, restaurants, bars and the Museum of British Surfing. You’ll also be able to access Braunton Burrows, a massive network of sand dunes that makes for a great walk or a day of sand surfing. If you prefer your sand next to lapping waves, the popular beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton are all within 7 miles. However you like to spend your days, whether it’s surfing, cycling, walking or just relaxing on the beach, this delightful retreat is great to come home to.

I loved this cottage. It was so quiet and really relaxing. My dog Rosie is a bit of a barker at car doors slamming and every little noise. She only barked a couple of times which meant she was relaxed and so was I. The cottage has everything!! Kids would be happy with garden and play equipment. Inside is a lovely little dolls house and lots of boarRead mored games to play. I don't think anyone could be disappointed with this cottage Hide

Would highly recommend this cottage, it was spacious, more than big enough for a family of 4, very well equipped, everything you could possibly need, and very clean. Some really nice touches like games, DVDs, outside play equipment/toys and really nice well considered and generous welcome package, including something for our four legged friend. LoRead morecation wise, Braunton is busy, traffic to get through most of the time, but cottage is in a nice quiet location and well situated to explore the north coast and beyond. Woodland walk with stream just across the road and fantastic beaches like sauton sands and Woolacombe just a short drive. Hide

The Retreat Cottage was perfect for our stay. Had everything we needed. Great location, very dog friendly, and not far away from some of the loveliest beaches, views, scenery. Would definitely stay again. We spoke with Karen several times who was lovely and helpful.
