Set on the owners’ farm, this traditional rural property enjoys countryside views and tranquil surroundings. Head to the beach at Instow for sandcastle making, picking up essentials in the mini-supermarket, enjoying an ice cream on the promenade or dining in one of the local pubs. Browse the local shops in Barnstaple (4.5 miles) and Bideford (5 miles), take a picturesque stroll around quaint Appledore (7 miles), or spend a beach day at Westward Ho! (7 miles), with the option of surfing and other water sports (part of the beach is dog-friendly year round). For family days out, head to The Big Sheep (7 miles) or the Milky Way Adventure Park (14 miles). Further afield, the beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe offer more opportunities for coastal days out (within 16 miles), and a jaunt or cycle along the paved Tarka Trail is always a delight.

Inside, the property is comfortable and cosy and has been carefully decorated to complement its character. The kitchen/diner is spacious and bright and has been decorated in a typical farmhouse style. The kitchen area contains an electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer compartment and microwave, while the table is large enough to entertain. At the end of a long day on foot, the lounge offers a warm and inviting space to relax and unwind. With exposed beams above and a wood burner-effect electric fire set against an exposed stone wall, this charming room also boasts a TV/DVD. Also on the ground floor, there is a charming king-size bedroom with an additional single bed, perfect for couples with a young child. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts an impressive four-poster double bed, exposed beams above and painted stonework all around. A modern shower room with WC is located on the first floor, with a separate WC downstairs. Guests have access to a handy shared laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Outside, a large, lawned garden with garden furniture and a BBQ invites you to make the most of warm weather and enjoy the wonderful countryside views. Children will love meeting the resident chickens and lambs in the springtime, and dogs can make the most of the dedicated exercise field.

Stayed at Cherry Blossom, first holiday with our son/girlfriend, loved every minute of it apart from the rain. The cottage was clean, comfortable, had milk, coffee/tea/sugar and biscuits and a dozen fresh eggs. We had our dog with us and she was made to feel welcome. The garden isn't fenced in and is shared with the cottage next door but that didn'Read moret bother us. Field to walk dog excellent. The beds comfortable, cotton bedding. One bed a king. The owners friendly answered queries promptly by text. Hide

The cottage was charming and comfortable, we were made to feel incredibly welcome and any issues were quickly rectified. The location is ideally located for reaching numerous local attractions - we visited Westward Ho, The Big Sheep, Instow Beach, Tapeley Park and the Gnome Reserve at Merry Harriers Garden Centre. The single drawback with the locatRead moreion is the lack of walks accessible on foot from the farm but as there are many accessible within a short drive, this causes minimal inconvenience. Hide
