The country style kitchen/diner is equipped with an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer ideally equipped to rustling up those family favourites. Everyone can gather around in the light and bright dining area which has a table seating up to six people. The bedrooms are accessed by a flight of cottage style stairs with one double bedroom and one bedroom with three single beds. The shower room features a double shower cubicle and WC can also be found on this floor.

Outside, there is a small private garden with seating. Why not buy a disposable BBQ (can be purchased on site) and spend the evening eating alfresco?

Lovely old cottage, said to be 500 years old. Set in farmland and has many animals on site such as goats, alpacas, donkeys and horses. Having a games room and playground also on site was a real bonus

My wife and I stayed in West Cottage, a grade 2 listed medieval cottage, for 14 nights in mid September 2023. Situated among a cluster of other old cottages adjacent to a working farm which were renovated to accommodate holiday guests. Location was ideal for sightseeing/seaside within a 30-40 minute drive (Ilfracombe, Croyde, Georgham, Woolacombe, Read moreLynmouth/Lynton, Braunton). West Cottage is a cosy, characterful and spacious 2-bed cottage and we would happily stay there again Hide
