This cosy cottage is perfect for a romantic break away. Nestled in the rolling countryside, it offers a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with all the home comforts you could need at your fingertips. The stone-faced exterior and attractive interiors make this cottage a picture-perfect hideaway for two, with the golden beaches of the North Devon coast within a couple of miles.

Fully furnished with quality furniture and elegant design, the cottage boasts a bright and airy lounge with comfortable seating arranged around a warming wood burner and TV. Down some steps is a kitchen/dining room where you can rustle up home-cooked delights with ease. And when night falls, the welcoming double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, is the perfect setting for a blissful night’s sleep. Step outside to a fenced and walled garden, complete with a lawn, patio and furniture. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and admire the far-reaching rural views. Everything you need for a special break away is here.

Located near the picturesque village of Georgeham, the cottage is just a short distance from some stunning beaches like Croyde Bay (3 miles) and Saunton Sands (3.5 miles). With the Braunton Burrows - a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve - also within 3.5 miles, there are plenty of opportunities for scenic walks.

Meghan our dog loved the garden and it was definitely secure and safe to let her out there. The cottage is very suitable for a couple and their dog and we enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening which was very peaceful with just the birdsong and no traffic noise. Unfortunately the description did not make it clear that the last part of our joRead moreurney would be along nearly 2 miles of very narrow country lanes and the twice we came face to face with large tractors was quite stressful. It did spoil our holiday a bit to have to contend with passing places and the tight entrance to the property. It should also be noted that unless your dog is 100% obedient, a stair gate or some means to block off the stairs will be needed. Hide

A beautiful cottage with a lovely enclosed garden. It was great to be able to let our dog chill safely after some lovely walks in the surrounding area. The local roads and entrance are a little tight but this just adds to the Devon charm. Some lovely local places to eat too. The hosts were very welcoming and amenable to our needs and circumstancesRead more. I would definitely recommend this property. Hide
