Nestled in the North Devon countryside, this welcoming home is part of a complex of three cottages with beautiful gardens to relax in. Just 5 miles from the Victorian fishing town of Ilfracombe, you can take boating trips around the coastline or a fishing trip and bring the catch of the day home for lunch. Stroll around the town and discover a plethora of shops, cafes and restaurants. Within 6 miles you have the award-winning beach of Woolacombe which is a mecca for surfing, and you can enjoy its 3 miles of golden sands. Walking enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with the South West Coast Path and Exmoor National Park within 7 miles.

Upon entering this characterful cottage, step into the lounge with its beautiful oak beams and wood burner, where you are sure to feel relaxed. Complete with comfy sofas and a Smart TV, you can enjoy watching a favourite movie with your family and friends. Step up into the cottage kitchen and here you can enjoy cooking a favourite recipe, with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer and coffee machine – the utility room houses the washing machine. Take the stairs to the two bedrooms, one of which is a king-size bed with a separate dressing room and an en-suite shower room with a WC. The other is a twin room benefitting from an en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

There are two areas outside to sit, with patio furniture. One overlooks the delightful gardens and there is a private, enclosed one at the side of the cottage.

Excellent, well equipped, clean cottage. We stayed in Duckdown cottage for a few days. It was spacious and comfy. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and our cocker spaniel with a lovely garden in front of the cottage for the obligatory morning walk.
