Nestled in the serene hamlet of Ford along the North Devon coastline, this idyllic lodge sits just off the A39 and therefore offers easy access to the region's top coastal destinations, boasting beautiful golden sands. It's a haven for walking enthusiasts, with fantastic trails right at your doorstep and the Southwest Coast path nearby, where you can relish the various scenic routes. Explore charming fishing villages like Appledore (6 miles) and Clovelly (8 miles), brimming with delightful local shops and diverse eateries. And if you crave a livelier ambiance, the renowned Westward Ho!, a mere 4 miles away, beckons with its 1.5-mile sandy beach, amusements, and an abundance of local culinary delights to savour. Other popular attractions such as the Tarka Trail, Tapeley Park, Hartland Abbey, and RHS Rosemoor Gardens all lie within 11 miles.

Stepping into this stylishly presented retreat, you will soon notice the wonderful mix of those creature comforts blended with a relaxed, contemporary style. Upon entering the lodge, you will immediately enter into the well-equipped kitchen/dining space, providing all the appliances needed for a stress-free, relaxing stay, whilst the dining table provides ample seating for all guests to wine and dine together. Moving on into the home will bring you to a relaxing lounge space equipped with a choice of comfortable seating from which to enjoy those favourite films on the Smart TV after a day of adventures across North Devon. The two bedrooms peel off two sides of the lounge and handily offer a choice of bed options. The first bedroom possesses a super-king-size bed, whilst the second offers a king-size bed. Both bedrooms have plenty of clothing spaces and not to forget the added luxury of each having their own en suite, one with a shower over bath, and the other with a shower.

Stepping outside guests have their very own enclosed garden, with lawn and comfortable outdoor seating. Additionally, the adjoining furry friends sanctuary and further 3 acre field with a lake is perfect to spot local wildlife and some adorable rabbits and guinea pigs. There is also an additional outbuilding which is ideal for storing bikes and even beach accessories when searching for that fun in the sun.

We were welcomed by Diane and Phil our wonderful hosts. The house was lovely, cosy and warm and well positioned for touring around. The welcome baskets of chocolate and fruit were appreciated. We enjoyed watching the Rabbits and Chickens from the sanctuary. We are very happy to recommend.

We loved this property! My wife and I wanted somewhere quiet with space to work if it was raining. This barn was ideal! It is separate from the owner's house next door, and very private, but there is access to the owner's lovely gardens. We were able to work, and spend time reading, when not on the nearby beaches.
