Property code: OC-N0336

A comfortable holiday home, this cottage is nestled in a row of 200-year-old properties tucked away in the small village of Westleigh and close to the coast at Instow. The property is the perfect little home for a small family, a small group of friends, or couples. It is right in the centre of the village which, although tiny, boasts a popular pub and a church dating back to the 11th century. The nearby Tarka Trail provides over 30 miles of flat, car-free cycling and walking through glorious Devon countryside. Visitors can follow the trail to the beach just a mile away. Across the river, the pretty fishing village of Appledore is well worth exploring and the port town of Bideford lies 2 miles southwest. The wide sandy surfing beach at Westward Ho! is 4 miles away along with a golf course and activity centre.

Retaining many characterful features, such as low ceilings, the property has two bedrooms both with Victorian fireplaces. The spacious double bedroom has views over the estuary. The twin room is bright and airy and will be space enough for either siblings or friends to share. Both rooms are upstairs, as is the family-sized bathroom. A cosy beamed lounge is downstairs, with a wood burner-effect electric fire and dining table for mealtimes. In the kitchen, guests will find everything they need to cater for themselves while on holiday.

Sadly, the property does not have its own garden. However, for immediate outdoor green space, the churchyard is just over 150 metres away. The village also benefits from a cricket green, and there is also Tapeley Park nearby which houses a stately home amongst its ample gardens. This is just over 1 mile away.

Great cottage in a great location. Driveway/lane and parking quite tight. Anything larger than a Toyota corolla estate would struggle to fit.

A lovely little cottage in a convenient location with a great pub immediately behind serving delicious food and well kept ale as well as a range of other drinks and with a play area and space to play football for children. The cottage does have low ceilings and door frames (6ft) but is comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a self catRead moreering holiday. It's only a few minutes to Bideford and an easy drive to any number of attractions and towns. The property management company were also very helpful providing information ahead of arrival. Hide

We loved the cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable. The location was very secluded and the view outside was beautiful. The Westleigh Inn pub was just around the corner, provided good meals and had a good rating (4.7).

A lovely cottage with well appointed and clean bedrooms looking over the countryside. The pub was fantastically near so even though there was no garden for the cottage, when the weather was good we sat outside in the pub garden (which literally backs on to the cottage). Great location with easy access to beaches and town. Very peaceful and relaxRead moreing. Hide
