A cottage full of character that would suit families and friends. On the edge of Barnstaple town with easy access to North Devon's beautiful beaches.

This pretty 200-year-old cottage is located in the village of Bradiford, which is a suburb of the market town of Barnstaple and is one of the oldest boroughs in England. Walk into the town to discover an array of independent shops, restaurants, a cinema and a theatre. Within 12 miles you can visit Woolacombe which has an award-winning 3-mile-long sandy beach and Croyde is only 9 miles away. Both are known to be meccas for surfers and families wanting to an enjoy a day at the coast. Just over 20 miles away you can discover the magical moorlands of Exmoor or visit the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth to enjoy a bite to eat and a wander around the craft shops. Within 11 miles are other family attractions such as Combe Martin Dinosaur Park, or Watermouth Castle.

Step through the front door and into this cosy cottage and you will walk into the lounge that has original beams, a wood burner, sumptuous sofa and a Smart TV, great for relaxing on cooler evenings and nestling down to watch your favourite movies. At the rear of the cottage, you will discover a beautiful open-plan kitchen/diner with patio doors leading outside, a great place to socialise and cook up some of those new recipes whilst planning your fun-filled days ahead. The kitchen is equipped with a range-style electric oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. Stairs leading from the lounge take you up to the first floor where there are two bedrooms, one of which has a super-king zip-and-link bed (which can be made up as twin beds on request) and a super-king-size bedroom. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC. Take the steep steps up to the top floor where you will find a quirky room with twin beds, TV and Xbox games console.

Nice spacious cottage that is clean and well equipped. About 20 minutes walk into Barnstaple and a bus ride away from Braunton, Ilfracombe and Bideford.

The lounge would be too small to accommodate 6 people, the beds are not very comfortable.

This cottage is like the Tardis, small on the outside but when you go inside it gets bigger and bigger. Lovely big, well equipped kitchen. Great to have a dishwasher and washing machine. Super big, comfortable beds with nice linen. Clean bathroom. And, friendly neighbours. Although people in Devon are chilled. Small but pretty garden, safe for our Read moredogs. Hide

A charming character cottage on three floors with patio space. Sleeps six with one bathroom. Very well equipped kitchen and nicely presented. Nespresso pod coffee machine. Parking outside was never a problem. This was the cleanest property we have ever used. Lots of lovely beaches within half an hours drive.
