Self catering holiday cottage in West Down, Devon

Accommodation details

Experience an idyllic countryside escape in the quintessential North Devon village of West Down. Tucked within the bowl of a hill, this charming cottage is the perfect hideaway for small families, offering a base from which to explore rugged coastline, wooded valleys and miles of scenic trails. Kick off your muddy boots after a busy day, settling on the patio with a well-deserved glass of wine as you gaze over the valley below, spotting local wildlife. Set adjacent to the owner’s home but with plenty of privacy, this delightful single-level property is wonderfully comforting thanks to homely decor and thoughtful touches.

The enticing kitchen has everything you need to whip up hearty meals best enjoyed in the adjoining dining room. Afterwards, retreat to the cosy lounge, or savour an after-dinner coffee on the balcony. The bedrooms are both irresistible for the weary traveller. Outside, the garden is presented in a true country cottage-style: a great spot to round off the day with a BBQ. A haven for keen walkers, West Down is a brilliant vantage point for discovering the trails and bridleways Devon is famous for.

Navigate the South West Coast Path from Mortehoe 6 miles away to Lee Bay, a spectacular 4.5 mile walk. You’ll be spoilt for choice on beaches, with Croyde, Woolacombe, Saunton and Putsborough less than 7 miles away. Take a trip to the seaside town of Ilfracombe 4.5 miles away with its pretty harbour, independent shops and imposing sculpture of Verity looking out to sea.
