On a 130 acre working sheep farm on the side of a valley two miles from Bideford is this single storey cottage, one of four converted from barns. With extensive grounds and a shared seasonal outdoor pool, this is welcoming accommodation for families. Head up a couple of steps into your sitting room, a relaxing space with TV, a dining table and a door to the garden. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing delicious meals from fresh Devon produce. The two bedrooms are light and bright and share the smart family bathroom. Outside is the brilliant outdoor pool, solar heated and with a handy paddling pool for the little ones. When you've done your lengths, stretch out on the sun terrace loungers whilst the children play in the orchard. Enjoy alfresco meals in the private enclosed garden to the side of the cottage which has great valley views. Beyond the cottages are paddocks to roam on this traditional working farm. You can also walk or cycle on the fabulous car-free Tarka Trail starting from Instow, or why not catch the boat from Bideford to Lundy Island? Bideford is an interesting old town to explore, with its pannier market and heritage railway, or maybe try some bird watching along the picturesque Torridge estuary. Pop your boards in the car and head to Westward Ho! beach to catch some waves and there are more excellent surfing beaches at Saunton and Woolacombe. The Cart Linhay is a characterful cottage on a lovely old farm with great coast nearby.
Straddling the Torridge estuary, the quaint bustling town of Bideford boasts a medieval bridge, town quay, quaint pannier market and vibrant shopping area - all well worth a visit. For the more active, several major surfing beaches, golf courses, theme parks and other attractions are nearby and the South West coast path passes close by on its way into Cornwall.
