Situated in a tucked away position in Bickington, this characterful listed cottage is the ideal place to enjoy a family holiday on the North Devon coast. This holiday let is only a 200-metre walk to the local pub and convenience store/post office. There's a bus stop at the end of the lane. The busy market town of Barnstaple is 2 miles away and has a theatre, cinema, huge range of restaurants, shops and the famous Pannier Market. A 4-mile drive will bring you to the seaside village of Instow with its dog-friendly beach, pubs and restaurants. Further afield, you will find many other attractions, including the beach at Westward Ho! (9.5 miles), the Big Sheep family attraction (9.5 miles) and The Milky Way adventure park (16.5 miles). Nearby, the scenic and car-free Tarka Trail provides a safe and level cycle route with bicycles available to hire locally.

This is a home full of personality, where stylish, modern finishes sit alongside preserved original features. The wooden-floored open-plan living/dining room has a three-seater sofa and two comfy armchairs which surround a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, adding cosy warmth during the winter months. A fitted galley kitchen is well equipped and has views over the garden. Reflecting the character and age of the property, a steep staircase leads to the double, twin and single bedrooms, which are all served by a stylishly tiled family bathroom.

There is a washing machine and freezer in the brick garden outbuilding adjacent to the back door, and you will find a handy outside hanging space in the undercover porch area. Steps lead up to the enclosed garden with a patio area, picnic bench and a lovely lawn.

A tastefully decorated cottage near to family we visited for the Christmas holiday. Everything you could need for home cooking, playing games, and relaxing by the open fire. Would certainly recommend.

We had a wonderful short break at this lovely cottage. It was immaculately clean, comfortable and everything was fresh and extremely well looked after. All the places we wanted to visit were only a short distance away and we found local walks too for our dog. Definitely a little gem!

We had a wonderful family holiday here. The cottage was lovely and cosy and the bedrooms light and airy. The garden is really big and the summer house got well used by the older children. So handy to have the covered drying area for beach stuff. Location wise the house was perfect to explore all directions. Close to amenities but still felt like weRead more were staying in the country. Loved how close it is to the tarka trail. Ample parking too. Would highly recommend this lovely property. Hide

Lovely cottage, would suit a family with children. The stairs are not suitable for elderly folk and care was needed to ensure safe passage. Loved the garden area, great space.

We loved staying at Sunnymeade. It worked really well for our whole family. We found the whole property to be really clean, really well equipped and very homely. The garden was particularly beautiful. And even though we didnt get to use it too much because of the rain, we really enjoyed seeing all the wildflowers and exploring the summer house. It Read morewas great that the house was equipped with all of the things we needed for a littlest one and our dog. We made good use of the pack away cot, high chair, and doggy bowls. The local area had a spar where we could buy the bits and bobs we needed in the parking space outside was easy to access and always clear. The local area had some nice places to walk a dog - we went to Instow a few times; and then also drove further afield to beaches like Saunton Sands. Overall we think this property was brilliant value for money and a really nice stay - thanks so much! Hide
