This beautiful thatched cottage dating back to 1600 is set in the heart of rural North Devon. The cottage sits off the main Roborough village road and nestles at the end of a small sloping driveway. Stylish and comfortable, the cottage offers a gentle, relaxed pace of life, yet still within easy reach of North Devon’s beautiful beaches. The welcoming thatched village pub is less than 200 metres away and serves food and traditional ales. The welcoming market town of Great Torrington is just 7 miles away, and 6 miles away is RHS Rosemoor, featuring aromatic, colourful gardens and woodland walks. For a day out at the seaside, Westward Ho! is just 13 miles away, with its long sandy beach, surfboard hire, plus traditional seaside shops and eateries. The beautiful beaches at Saunton and Woolacombe are both within 25 miles, and the traditional Devon villages of Instow and Appledore are within 15 miles.

Entering the cottage through the front door, you find yourself in the cosy, spacious lounge/diner with feature fireplace, Smart TV and comfortable sofas which beckon you to relax. A dining table and chairs allows everyone to eat together, making mealtimes a breeze. Walking on through to the galley-style kitchen, fully fitted and equipped with everything you need, a door leads to a separate WC and a utility cupboard houses the washing machine and microwave. Another door leads out from the kitchen area to the rear garden, from where you can start to appreciate the beautiful views over the fields toward Dartmoor. Back to the inner hallway, and a study room allows for remote workers to catch up with e-mails, and also has a daybed and desk. Heading up the steep cottage-style stairs, you will find the sleeping accommodation and bathroom. A landing area with statement chair makes for the perfect reading spot. The first bedroom offers a king-size bed with exposed beams and fabulous country views, whilst the second bedroom offers a zip-and-link king-size bed (which can be made into twin beds on request). The bathroom completes the accommodation and has a roll-top bath for decadent, bubbly soaks – a great place to relax after a day’s exploring.

The large lawn, with garden furniture and loungers, is an ideal spot for an al fresco meal or morning coffee whilst enjoying the stunning views. A summer house also allows you to enjoy the views in the cooler months. At the front of the property is a separate barn which has been cleverly converted to provide your own private sauna with changing area.

Beautiful cottage superbly well equipped, lovely views across the valley, great location with a short walk to local pub. Very steep staircase might make it difficult for some.

We just enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing week at Thatch View Cottage. Beautifully decorated and furnished, and everything you would possibly need is there. Despite the wet weather we enjoyed fabulous days out to Clovelly, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Torquay. Spent a couple of days at the cottage. We enjoyed the sauna, played games and saRead moret in the garden room enjoying the views! And good food and local beers at the pub a few doors away! We'll be back! Hide

The cottage is really comfortable and well-equipped for a longer stay. We had a lot of rain which meant walking was very boggy but theres an extremely handy dog field just a few minutes walk from the cottage. Theres the most amazing view from the garden and on clear nights the starry skies are wonderful with no light pollution. It was so peaceful wRead moree felt very relaxed by the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this beautiful cosy cottage. Hide
