Cottage to rent with a hot tub in Bideford (5mls E), Devon

Accommodation details

Nestling on the outskirts of this traditional Devon village and close to the South West Coast Path, this property is a walker's paradise. The perfect cosy bolthole for a couple, make sure your pup tags along as he is welcome too - there is even a private paddock for rolling, fetching, and scampering! The reverse-level layout adds charming quirks, and with the ground floor bedroom opening onto the patio enjoy the warming summer breeze as you sleep.

Whiling away the hours in the private hot tub, pop the champagne and rest those walk weary legs - a holiday here has relaxation on the cards. Step inside this stunning property to find that elusive mix of authentic charm and modern comforts, with original exposed brickwork and beams blending effortlessly with contemporary styling.

The lounge, light and airy with double-height vaulted ceiling and large windows, provides the perfect place to relax after a day exploring. Up the spiral staircase, Velux windows above the kitchen/diner provide lovely views of the countryside and the twinkling stars at night. Al fresco dining is a delight at any time of the day and night on the private enclosed patio area, whilst welcoming the morning listening to birdsong from the bubbling hot tub is a wonderful daily event.
