Rose Cottage is an exceptionally pretty home in Lee, nestled between the sea, sky and hills of the North Devon Coast and on the route of the famous South West Coastal path. ​The 16th century cottage offers elegant and cosy accommodation, delightful gardens and a heated swimming pool from Easter until the September, heated between 23 - 25c. We have body boards, buckets and spades with fishing nets for guests use, please replace if lost or broken - in the Wendy House opposite the swimming pool steps. Rose Cottage has been recently refurbished and decorated in a light, elegant style, the cottage maintains its character and unique features (which include some low doorways and ceilings and steps without rails), whilst offering flexible spaces for entertaining, spending time with family or relaxing. With three double bedrooms and a children's room with two double kiddy bunks there is plentiful sleeping space. As you might expect from a cottage over 300 years old, rooms upstairs are relatively small (the living areas downstairs are larger). The Master Bedroom is spacious and features two traditional sash windows, overlooking the lane and over the fields and woods beyond, and has a wardrobe with ample handing space. Bedroom Two has two large wardrobes, one of which is used to store the cot (NB - the cot should be pulled out if in use), with lots of hangars and a window looking out on to the rear terrace of the garden. Bedroom Three is snug (i.e. small), with a double bed and space to move around it, a traditional fire place (not in use) but does not have a wardrobe (we suggests guests either use the hooks and hangars provided or put clothes in one of the built-in wardrobes in Bedroom 2. Bedroom 4 is the Children's Bedroom and features two smart, white bunk beds (2+2) and a chest of drawers, as well as hangars and hooks (again, no wardrobe). Downstairs, the elegant, light-filled dining room looking over the fields and into the rear courtyard, boasts wide French windows, essential for al fresco dining in the summer months. The front terrace allow guests to make the best of the weather any time of year. The sitting room is a charming space, in keeping with the cottage; lightly and freshly decorated with local artwork and a selection of magazines for guests to enjoy (Sadly the woodburner is not in operation, but it is a warm space nonetheless). The traditional cottage kitchen (with the gentle warmth of an oil Aga, not in use from 1st June - 1st September), and an electric cooker, is well equipped with Nespresso machine (and a selection of complimentary capsules), breadmaker, juicer etc. A large farmhouse table provides a further dining option. A microwave and dishwasher are, of course, included, with large Fridge freezer and an over flow fridge for that extra shop! For the wet days, the Media Room is stocked with games, a widescreen TV (with Freeview) and house-wide internet (please note, this is the only TV in the house and there is no DVD player). Please note that Rose Cottage lies on the side of the valley; as a result there are a number of steps and steep drops around the property which may make it unsuitable for some guests. Young children are to be accompanied and supervised at all times - particularly given the on-site swimming pool, heated to 25c - 28c. Some areas of the grounds are private and the owner requires access to the garage (set apart from the cottage) at all times, so please ensure this is kept clear. Please also note that there are no grocery shops in Lee and closest shops are a 10+ minute drive. Although WiFi is included, please note that the owner and / or agent cannot accept any responsibility should technical problems render the facility unavailable. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: No naked flamed allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Heated pool - 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 - Bicycles - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104320000/104315600/104315537/5845c403.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Shippen, Rural & rustic retreat -Barn conversion @ The Home Away South Ilfracombe - Pool - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=104315537&PinnedHotelID=104315537&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104290000/104287300/104287272/d86ba33b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Traditional Byre Barn conversion with balcony off bedroom view North Devon Farm Combe Martin - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=104287272&PinnedHotelID=104287272&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104320000/104315900/104315820/4c4026e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mill Tower - Handsome upside down home - @ The Home Away South Ilfracombe - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Gym 2.0 2 reviews £497 includes taxes & fees 13 Dec - 14 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-13&endDate=2025-12-14&selected=104315820&PinnedHotelID=104315820&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32900000/32898700/32898686/0ca4dd15.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Woolacombe, near Ilfracombe Woolacombe, near Ilfracombe - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 5.0 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=32898686&PinnedHotelID=32898686&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules £10.00 a night charged for each dog No naked flames inside or out because of thatch ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total pets Note from host: Upto two dogs allowed - ground floor only ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: With supervision (! drops, pool, steps, slopes) ### Events No events allowed No all male parties ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted No naked flamed allowed ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

The house was very clean and all cooking utensils and china was spotless. Check in process was very easy and Ginnys speed in communication was excellent. The surrounding areas and beaches were beautiful such as Saunton and Woolacombe and a great recommendation for the Rock Inn pub! Very good food and wine. The pool was also great fun on the non rainy days. The local Lee village is very sweet and overall a lovely stay and half term break. ##### Sue S.

Excellent Communication throughout booking and preparation process. We had a small issue with the BBQ which was resolved immediately with a friendly and polite team on hand. Prepare to go rockpooling, discover local beaches and just chill in the most beautiful surroundings. Thank you Rose Cottage and team. ##### Emma H.
