Property code: 78252

Nestled in a quiet spot in a perfect position to discover both North Devon’s stunning coast and countryside, this quirky property promises a warm welcome to its guests. Cosy and comfortable with beautiful features, this single-story cabin is the perfect opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life when you want to while still being close to lots of things for families or couples to do. Take the children to the Milky Way Adventure Park (4.5 miles) or stroll the cobbled streets of Clovelly Village and its harbour (7 miles).

Whether you’re enjoying an al fresco bite on the decking looking out onto the gardens or you’re off for a swift half at the local pub (1 mile), there’s somewhere for everyone to feel at home here. The interiors have a charming country-cottage open-plan feel with colourful yet understated tiling in the kitchen and a stunning stone feature fireplace in the lounge. Double aspect windows make the space bright and airy during the day but light the wood burner in the evening and it becomes a cosy haven to snuggle up in on the sofa before heading to bed in the pretty bedrooms.

If one theme park isn’t enough, the BIG Sheep is 6 miles away so the kids will get their thrills. Head to the beach to Westward Ho! (8 miles) where you can try your hand at surfing, paddleboarding or even go karting. Search for over 60 gnomes and pixies at the Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden (5.5 miles), where you’ll stroll through wonderful woodland and gardens on your journey, or see gorgeous roses, shrubs and maybe even the Very Hungry Caterpillar at RHS Rosemoor (13 miles).

A perfect place to get away from it all. I loved my stay at this beautiful and comfortable cottage. The setting is idyllic, with a wonderful private garden that was ideal for my dog. The owners could not have been more helpful, but also gave me space to enjoy the quiet and calm serenity of this very special cottage. I will definitely be back!
