Offering traditional, fresh and characterful accommodation for up to six guests, this peaceful retreat makes a lovely base for families and groups of friends eager to discover an idyllic stretch of the magical coast of North Devon. The property sits in a secluded position along a private lane about 1.5 miles from the heart of the bustling market town of Barnstaple. The Tarka Trail offers a beautiful bike ride deep into the Devon countryside, with a wealth of pubs and cafes offering refreshment along the way. Heading along the route of the River Taw, Instow (8.5 miles) has a beautiful estuary beach, or you can head to the coast for the glorious Croyde, Woolacombe and Saunton beaches, perfect for sunbathers and water sports fans, and all within 14 miles.

Entering this sweet and cosy hideaway, steps lead from the patio door into a welcoming boot room with space for leaving coats and shoes before you head along to the cottage’s upper floor. Here you will find three snug and relaxing bedrooms: a charming en-suite king-size room with views over the river, a pretty en-suite double and a lovely super-king-size room which can be made up as a twin on request. This floor also features a refreshing bathroom. Wooden stairs lead down into a characterful lounge with slate flooring, oak beams and a restful wood burner alongside a Smart TV and plush seating. This leads through to a beautifully arranged kitchen/diner with a handsome dining table, sleek worktops, ample storage and plenty of equipment for preparing a family feast.
