About the property
1 OF 6 NEWLY RE-FURBISHED COTTAGES, IDEALLY LOCATED FOR EXPLORING THE WHOLE OF NORTH DEVON, INDOOR SWIMMING POOL, FISHING LAKE AND GAMES ROOM
Set in a beautiful location within Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve and situated 1.5 miles from the golden sands and surfing beach of Saunton Sands and nearby Croyde, these delightful cottages offer a unique holiday experience. The cottages are set amongst mature trees and shrubs and are surrounded by 12 acres of pastureland, where mown paths meander through wildflower meadows to encircle a tranquil and picturesque lake, which is stocked to challenge the most ambitious coarse fisherman. Warm summer evenings can be enjoyed with a stroll around the lake or simply sitting at one of the benches with your favourite tipple, whilst the children will find fun and challenges in the adventure park and toddler play area. Willowfield Lake Cottages are ideally based for exploring the surrounding area. Being within the UNESCO Biosphere, the nature reserve covers over 1000 acres and is one of Britain's finest sand dune areas with a rich variety of plant life, many rare. The Tarka Trail pathway which follows the estuaries of the Taw and Torridge as far as Torrington is perfect for walking and cycling and just 1.5 miles away. A 5 minute drive will take you to Saunton Sands beach, a 3 mile stretch of golden sand perfect for finding your own space in amongst the sand dunes. Around the headland lies the pretty village of Croyde, boasting good pubs, restaurants and a lovely family beach. There is also a championship links golf course at Saunton.
