A modest and comfortable holiday home from home, this quaint cottage is nestled in a row of 200-year-old properties tucked away in the small village of Westleigh which is close to the coast at Instow. The cottage is right in the village's centre, boasting a popular inn and a church dating back to the 11th century.

Retaining many characterful features, such as low ceilings, this cosy property has two first-floor bedrooms both with Victorian fireplaces with the spacious double bedroom boasting views over the estuary. On the ground floor, a cosy beamed lounge has a wood burner-effect electric fire, a smart TV & HD recorder & CD player and a dining table for four. The kitchen is traditionally furnished and the bathroom with a shower over completes the accommodation.

The nearby Tarka Trail provides miles of flat car-free cycling and walking through glorious Devon countryside and visitors can follow the trail to the beach at Instow just 1 mile away.

Great cottage in a great location. Driveway/lane and parking quite tight. Anything larger than a Toyota corolla estate would struggle to fit.

A lovely little cottage in a convenient location with a great pub immediately behind serving delicious food and well kept ale as well as a range of other drinks and with a play area and space to play football for children. The cottage does have low ceilings and door frames (6ft) but is comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a self catRead moreering holiday. It's only a few minutes to Bideford and an easy drive to any number of attractions and towns. The property management company were also very helpful providing information ahead of arrival. Hide

We loved the cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable. The location was very secluded and the view outside was beautiful. The Westleigh Inn pub was just around the corner, provided good meals and had a good rating (4.7).

A lovely cottage with well appointed and clean bedrooms looking over the countryside. The pub was fantastically near so even though there was no garden for the cottage, when the weather was good we sat outside in the pub garden (which literally backs on to the cottage). Great location with easy access to beaches and town. Very peaceful and relaxRead moreing. Hide
