Short Breaks


Most of the time our holiday properties book out for the Full week (7 nights), however there are times during some Off Peak periods or last minute where Short Breaks may be arranged with certain properties. They can be either 3, 4, 5 or 6 nights and are priced accordingly. Please remember that all short break enquiries have to be checked prior to booking, simply find your perfect cottage, get in touch and we will help finalise your enquiry.

About the property

COUNTRYSIDE LOCATION WITH RIVER FISHING AND LAKE ON SITE 

This delightful property, which is approached by external steps or on the level to the back door, has been refurbished to a high standard. Situated in a beautiful part of North Devon, approximately 2 miles from the village of Woolsery which has a pub, post office, shop and fish and chip shop. The cottage is adjoining the owner's farmhouse (where a warm welcome awaits but privacy is assured) and opposite a working dairy farm. Enjoys a good size private garden with access to fields that run down to the riverbank and lake. Ideal for summer picnics, or for those just wanting to relax and watch the varied wildlife with deer, kingfishers, otters, badgers and foxes often being spotted.

The property is only a short drive from the beautiful Devon and Cornwall coastline, with its spectacular towering cliffs, rocky shorelines and long stretches of sandy beaches. The area provides wonderful walking opportunities with the coastal path and the famous Tarka Trail, which gives many miles of safe track for both walking and cycling. Hartland Quay and the picturesque village of Clovelly, with its steep cobbled street, are also within easy reach. Away from the coast there are lots to see and do with many attractions including RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Tapeley Park Gardens and the wide open spaces of Exmoor and Dartmoor with their breathtaking scenery. For the children, The Milky Way and The Big Sheep are only a short drive. Leisure facilities: fishing on site, please bring your own rods.
