Located in a homely and secluded complex 1.5 miles from Westward Ho!, this cottage is a cosy retreat that offers guests an authentic taste of the North Devon experience. Backing onto rolling hills, you'll have good access to the beach, country walks and exciting adventures all within 5 miles, whilst at the cottage itself you can visit the resident goats, sheep and chickens roaming the grounds, or discover the shared children’s play area and a shared heated pool.

The pretty farmhouse-style stone facade greets you, while inside the decor is fresh and homely with an open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge. Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms provide the perfect place to tuck yourselves away for a good night's sleep after evenings spent BBQ'ing out by the pool while the children enjoy a dip. The first floor has a shower room with WC, whilst the second floor has a shower over bath with WC.

Just 3 miles from the property in Appledore, you will find Skern Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre, where you can enjoy kayaking, rock-climbing, abseiling and more against the backdrop of the stunning North Devon coast. If adrenalin isn’t for you, then Appledore is also host to the North Devon Maritime Museum - a fascinating look at the maritime history of Devon just 3.5 miles away. Whatever you do, just make sure you’re back on Westward Ho! beach (1.5 miles away) for sunset on the soft sand.

Beautiful cottage and so spotless! The pool was a real bonus as we had wonderful weather. We would love to return but would stay in Cascade Cottage as it has a dish washer and bigger fridge more suited to our large family.

Had a great two weeks in this property and loved it, so comfortable and relaxing. Having the pub/restaurant next door is a bonus as you dont have to drive anywhere sometimes. Would highly recommend staying there.

Lovely cottage with a great area for dog to play, park was very nice. Swimming pool was a great feature and was used a lot over the visit. Out of the way, which was great, but also a pub a couple of minutes walk
