Situated in the pretty village of Abbotsham which offers easy access to the North Devon Coast Path, you can enjoy beautiful walks with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. A great location for keen surfers with a plethora of sandy beaches nearby including Croyde, Woolacombe and across the border into Cornwall, Newquay. On a clear day whilst visiting one the nearby beaches you will be able to see the infamous Lundy Island on the horizon, which is home to an array of wildlife. You could take a day trip to the beautiful island on the MS Oldenburg which departs from the historic port town of Bideford. The Victorian seaside village of Westward Ho! is just a 5 minute drive and is named after Charles Kingsley’s novel of the same name. Brightly coloured beach huts line the promenade which is also home to Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’ which has been set in to the pavement. Enjoy the local area with plenty of pretty gardens and National Trust locations to explore, including Tapely Park, RHS Rosemoor and Arlington Court.
This traditional stone cottage, which retains many charming and characterful features including exposed stonework and beams, sits adjacent to the owners’ Georgian home, but your privacy is assured. On entering you will find yourself in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With a Smart TV and warming wood burner (first basket of logs included), the comfy lounge is an ideal space to unwind in and enjoy the crackle from the fire on a cool evening. The dining area is located by the window which is a great spot for a candlelit dinner. Heading over to the stylish kitchen you will find everything you may need including an electric oven/hob, fridge with ice compartment, microwave and dishwasher so preparing your favourite meals is easy whilst you’re away. The cottage has a pretty double bedroom with a comfy bed and a couple of steps lead you into the en-suite shower room which is complete with WC, and there is also a handy washing machine located here.
Outside there are two pretty patio areas, one to the front of the property, which has a pretty bistro set and spring flowers and is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee. The other is adjacent to the property and offers an enclosed garden with a patio, lawn and BBQ which is great for those who are looking to bring their four-legged friends.
