Nestled on the hillside in the quaint village of Weare Giffard, this home from home offers guests all the benefits of a countryside retreat with all the peace and tranquillity you could wish for, whilst being within easy reach to some of North Devon’s most popular coastal hot spots. Walkers and cyclists can effortlessly hop on the traffic-free Tarka Trail (a former railway line) which runs alongside the valley and continues on through the market town of Bideford, where you can also hire bikes and stop for a bite to eat. Beach lovers are also well catered for, both Westward Ho! And Instow are within 9 miles of the home with golden sandy beaches, local shops and fine eateries for all tastes. Slightly further afield, you’ll find the historic towns of Clovelly and Hartland with their breathtaking cliff-top walks on either side.

Making your way up the patio steps and into the home you will initially find yourself in the kitchen/diner. The kitchen provides all the appliances needed for a stress-free stay, whilst the dining table can comfortably sit all guests allowing you to dine with ease and share the best moments of the holiday over your favourite spread. Moving on through the home will bring you to the cosy living area, here sits two comfortable sofas from which to enjoy the roaring open fire and Smart TV, the perfect movie spot for a family night in. For those looking to retreat and read a book or even unbox a puzzle or board game, there is an additional snug room next door with a leather sofa and two bean bags along with another Smart TV. The traditionally styled stairway will mean watching your head on the way up and eventually leads to all three bedrooms, which all provide double beds, ample clothing space and views across the glorious valley. The master bedroom has the added benefit of an en-suite bathroom with bath and WC, whilst completing the home is the family bathroom, with a shower over bath and WC.

Step outside and enjoy the river views from the patio at the front of the home or wander up to the hilly rear fire pit spot where you will be rewarded with superb views across the valley. The front patio provides two spots of comfortable outdoor seating, adjoined with a charcoal BBQ and grass lawn allowing you to wine, dine and enjoy those melting sunsets with friends and family.

Cosy, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Owners couldnt do enough to make sure we have a great stay. Storm Gerrit caused a couple of minor issues which were sorted within a couple of hours - impressive when you consider it was Christmas weekend! Hope to be able to go back in better weather so we can explore the area more!

This cottage is new to the holiday scene so with a few minor adjustments it could become a very popular venue.
