This picture-postcard fisherman’s cottage nestled snugly into the North Devon coastline is the perfect place to stay if you want to immerse yourself in this stunning part of the world and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by National Trust woodland with winding paths, only steps away from picturesque clifftop walks and 9 miles from the sandy beach of Westward Ho!, this property provides the ideal base where you can tuck yourselves away and create precious holiday memories.

You will love the classic cottage facade, and stepping inside, you won't be disappointed. Lovingly and sympathetically decorated to create a traditional, homely feel with warm tones, it still maintains a sense of light and space throughout. In the lounge, a wood burner is perfect for those cosy, colder evenings. The well-equipped kitchen/diner maintains a traditional style, including an oil-fired Redfyre stove and farmhouse table. The upstairs space is split level, with the bathroom, shower room and bunk bedroom on the first level and the remaining three bedrooms on the next. The steep garden is simply delightful with lots to explore including a play tower for aspiring princes/princesses.

The South West Coast Path (1 mile) allows you to appreciate the dramatic coastline and unbridled views. More natural beauty awaits you at Hartland Abbey (9 miles), where you can soak up the grounds or take a short walk to the coast, and Hartland Quay (10 miles). The cobbled streets of Clovelly, the attractive fishing village on the cliffs, is 5 miles away and there are plenty of family attractions nearby such as The BIG Sheep (8 miles) and The Milky Way (3 miles).

  • 3 Bedrooms – 2 doubles and 1 bunk bedroom. Property can sleep 8 with a small bunk room also available on request.
  • 1 Bathroom and 1 shower room
  • Redfyre oil-fired stove- works similarly to a conventional oven with temperature control, microwave/combination oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer
  • Wood burner (first basket of logs included)
  • Roadside parking for one car and a public car park 200 yards up the road
  • Dogs must be kept downstairs
  • Shop 1 mile and beach within walking distance via steep path.
  • TV/DVD in lounge
  • Charcoal BBQ available
  • Please note the second part of the garden is accessed via uneven steep ground and children will need to take care
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

We stay in self-catering cottages two or three times a year and have done for 20 years and this is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Beautifully laid out with two bathrooms, a very large kitchen with a wonderful stove which kept the whole house warm, and a delightful lounge and bedrooms. The garden was great though it rained a lot soRead more sadly we were not able to use it. The location is fantastic in a very quiet village right on the north coast of Devon. Highly recommended.

We had a great time in this lovely cottage with a fantastic garden on 3 levels. When it got too hot outside the inside was cool and refreshing. Beautiful surroundings in a steep sided wooded valley complete with babbling brook and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommemded!
