With spectacular views of the North Devon countryside and just 1.5 miles from Westward Ho! beach, this cosy, bright log cabin offers both coast and country rolled into one. This lodge-style property offers a private hot tub, wood burner, and patio BBQ so that guests can enjoy their stay in comfort and tranquillity. With access to Lundy, beaches and countryside and just 10 miles from the market town of Barnstaple, you’ll be spoiled for choice at this quirky retreat.

Although the property feels snug and cosy (thanks to the contemporary wood burner), it is in no way cramped as light is allowed to flow through the lounge/kitchen/dining area through the large French doors that open out onto the deck. The stylish grey and silver tones are brought to life by colourful artwork and details throughout the property. The two bedrooms are comfortable, with a fresh style and wooden backboards that bring character and vibrancy - the shared shower room continues this theme and adds to the bespoke feel of the property.

Just 3 miles from the cabin is North Burrows Country Park. At the western edge of the Taw Torridge Estuary, this grassy coastal plain offers unrivalled views and a truly authentic biosphere that’s open to guests all year round. Once you’ve lapped up enough of the countryside and coast, take a drive into Bideford just 3 miles from the property, and wander the local shops, restaurants and bars along the River Torridge. Make sure you’re back in time to warm up by the wood burner and watch the stars appear over the hills.

The cottage was lovely with everything we needed and the outdoor decking area was great, nice and private and shielded from any winds plus a good gas BBQ and the hot tub was lovely and well used. The location is great, nice and peaceful but only short drives to either Westward Ho or Bideford.

We had a lovely stay at Old Spot. The lodge is very clean and well equipped. Our only complaints were the wifi was very weak and the outdoor bin store was not well signposted. If taking a dog, please be aware the grassy area (for toilet time!) is not enclosed, it is only the decking which is enclosed. However this was not a problem for us as the puRead moreb has shut down and so there were not many cars around. Hide
