Bishops Tawton, Devon - Sleeps 2

Accommodation details

Blending cottage charm and contemporary elegance, an easy sentiment flows throughout this home. This property is ideal for couples or solo travellers and their furry companion exploring the historic village of Bishops Tawton. Stroll the cobbled streets of Barnstaple (3 miles) then refuel with freshly baked scones and breakfast tea, before sipping a sparkling aperitif from the open-air jacuzzi.

This quaint, thatched-roof cottage conceals a surprisingly chic interior with upholstered furniture, a crisp neutral colour scheme, whitewashed beams, and tasteful antique pieces. After a day of exploring, ease off shoes in the entranceway then pour a drink and potter in the bright shaker kitchen.

Stock up the cupboards with some locally sourced snacks then cook up a simple summer spread. Recline at the intimate dining table and raise a toast to your special occasion before tucking into your evening meal. On warmer days, prop open the patio doors and feast with a gentle summer breeze. Rustle up dessert then retire to the inviting lounge and sink onto the opulent button-detailed seating to browse the Smart TV.

When night falls, ascend the staircase to the tranquil king bedroom, complete with plump throw pillows and a sleek en-suite shower room. Outside, perch on the bistro set with a coffee on the Mediterranean-style patio or step up to indulge in an evening soak beneath the stars. North Devon is a haven for thrill-seekers, leisure lovers, and ball-chasers alike.

Drink in the fresh country air as you embark on a gentle amble to Codden Hill (2 miles) then feast alongside the friendly locals with a hearty pub lunch (within 100 metres). Sample the local surf culture with a water sports session on the waves of Westward Ho! Beach (11 miles) or sample unbeatably fresh seafood on the Appledore Quayside (12 miles).
