  • Picture-perfect cottage perched on a clifftop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
  • Spend cosy evenings chatting with your loved ones by the wood burner in the sitting room
  • Allow the gentle sound of a nearby waterfall tumbling down to the sea lull you to sleep each evening

Property code: OC-WILLI

For a memorable getaway, stay at this idyllic clifftop cottage, nestled between Clovelly and Westward Ho! on the South West Coast Path. With its stunning sea views from Baggy to Hartland Point, the cottage is the perfect retreat for a romantic couple or a small group of friends. Look forward to a spacious open-plan layout, a light and airy atmosphere, and lots of cosy touches throughout.

Unwind in the lounge area with a warming wood burner and a window seat to take in the view. The separate dining room has a few steps down to the kitchen, which is separated by a glass partition. A stable door leads out to the garden, which features a patio and picnic bench, perfect for al fresco dining with a BBQ. Make your way up the steep cottage-style staircase to the attractive king-size bedroom where you can drift off to sleep to the sound of a nearby waterfall tumbling down to the sea. The compact double room also offers gorgeous sea views and shares the family bathroom. Outside, there is a low wall separating the front lawn from a babbling stream.

From the cottage, you can take a stroll along the beach (300 metres) and explore the abandoned lime kilns, rusty winches and the rocky spit said to be built by the devil. Venture into Clovelly and discover its cobbled streets and fishermen’s cottages (5 miles) or take a fishing trip from the harbour. For those with a passion for surfing, Westward Ho! (9 miles) and its beautiful stretch of golden sand awaits. Alternatively, you can take a boat trip to the wild and beautiful Lundy Island, located just off the coast of Bideford (9 miles). Here you may be lucky enough to spot seals, dolphins and puffins.

Location, with sea views from every window was exceptional. Cottage is small but cosy. Path to pebble beach is steep but it is so close. And attractions and local towns & villages are a very short drive away.

Idyllic location , so peaceful and beautiful . Views are tremendous and the sunsets are really incredible across the expanse of sea. Our grandchildren needed to be kept an eye on near small wall but they loved the garden .. The shed was a treasure trove with the nets, surf boards, crabbing buckets etc. And deckchairs were great for us in the eveRead morening to drink in the view and relax ! Hide

We were comfortable in the cottage and loved the location. Lower scores indicate the need for better equipment (no baking tray) or advice (not enough guidance on recycling / rubbish collection at all or its two weekly rotation) which we would have appreciated. Also the fan in the bathroom was very noisy and went on for ages!
