Property code: 42982

This property enjoys a quiet location, tucked away in the picturesque Devonshire countryside. This makes it a fantastic retreat for those who want to get away from the stresses of daily life, however, it is not completely remote and many of the region’s most popular attractions are within easy reach. The wonderful gardens at RHS Rosemoor are just a short drive away, as is the town of Bideford with its attractive cobbled streets and working harbour. For many, a trip to Devon would be incomplete without a day or two spent at the seaside and the expansive beach at Westward Ho! offers everything from golden sands, swimming, surfing, and stunning sunsets.

This compact cottage offers comfortable accommodation for two and is a great alternative to a hotel room, offering more space and privacy. Entering the property, guests come directly to the kitchen/diner, which has been carefully laid out in order to make the most of the space and provide guests with a good range of facilities. The dining table is the perfect spot for enjoying cosy meals for two, while the kitchen area itself offers an electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge with ice compartment. The bedroom is a pretty double room, with plenty of storage space, and a TV/DVD which can be enjoyed from the bed, perfect for lazy mornings, or late-night movies. A door from the bedroom leads to the adjacent shower room, with WC.

Outside, there is a patio with seating to the front of the property, and an elevated lawn with more seating and a BBQ to the rear. Guests may also enjoy the 34 acres of the owner’s smallholding with ponies and ducks.

Wow! We'd gone to Allisland for peace and quiet and we had it in spades. What a shame we couldn't stay any longer. Please be aware that you will be a long way from anywhere, but for nature lovers, this won't be a problem! Enjoy!
