Located 5 miles from dramatic National Trust coastline, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO biosphere reserve, this really is a wonderfully unspoilt, undiscovered part of the South West. 2 miles from the historic market town of Bideford, we are close to lots of local attractions: beaches, cliff walks, fishing villages, moors, great pubs, working farms. This family home is full of character and period features. The main house dates back to the 1500s and is of traditional Devon long house construction. Oak beams, cob walls, ledge and brace doors and even horse hair plaster in some rooms are complemented by fresh Farrow and Ball colours, quality antique furniture and paintings throughout. With contemporary bathrooms, LCD TVs, broadband wifi, DVDs, board games, etc, every creature comfort has been considered. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the sea ### Things to do - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59970000/59962500/59962431/c4ae3073.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely 5 Bedroom Period House moments from Beach and the Burrows Westward Ho! - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=59962431&PinnedHotelID=59962431&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91870000/91861100/91861066/ef016029.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sages - Regency country villa in heart of Dolton (house and garden flat) Dolton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.0 Wonderful 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=91861066&PinnedHotelID=91861066&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90590000/90588500/90588461/0080924a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Poyers Thatched Farmhouse with Hot Tub Braunton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews £606 includes taxes & fees 1 Dec - 2 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=90588461&PinnedHotelID=90588461&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18780000/18772100/18772071/5055714e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Weirmarsh Big Barn.
