Overview
Property code: 91612

This 16th-century cottage is located in the centre of the pretty village of Bishops Tawton. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, there are many walks and cycling routes around the area, including the Tarka Trail which offers 180 miles of off-road cycling, with tearooms and pubs along the way. The local pub offers hearty homemade food which is a delight after a walk up to the top of Codden Hill where you can see Dartmoor. Take a trip to the picturesque village of Instow (10 miles), well-known for its attractive dog-friendly, sandy waterfront, with a cafe, several pubs and restaurants. In the summer months, hop on the pedestrian boat ferry across to Appledore and stroll around its pretty cobbled streets, with a selection of independent shops and cafes. For surfing lovers, visit Westward Ho! (11 miles) with its 3 miles of sand and surf.

This one-bedroom thatched cottage has been beautifully renovated and still has many of its original features, including oak beams. After a day of adventure, relax on the comfortable sofa and enjoy your favourite movie on the Smart TV. The open-plan kitchen has everything you need to whip up a special recipe for a cosy night in, and a dining table for two. Take the staircase up to the bedroom with a king-size bed and a Smart TV for the perfect night’s sleep. Completing the cottage is the bathroom.

Step into the enclosed garden and find a lovely patio area with seating to dine alfresco. The cherry on the cake is the bubbling hot tub which offers many hours of pure relaxation.

Gorgeous little cottage in a pretty location. The kitchen had the basic essentials which is always helpful. Towels and dressing gowns supplied. Bed was really big and comfy and the heated floors were a lovely bonus! The hot tub is roomy and was checked regularly by Sarah, thank you

Lovely cottage for 2. The cottage has great characters on the outside and it is very modern inside. The hot tub in the enclosed garden is a great addition too to enjoy the start and end of the day.

Great, comfortable and well-equipped cottage conveniently located to explore north Devon. Proximity to busy pub was helpful given the bad weather we had due to Storm Ciearan! Sarah was really helpful in addressing the lack of coat hangers and checking we were ok with the cottage. Would definitely book again.

The cottage itself was beautiful and very well thought out. The information details of what is in the local area and attractions where very limited. Unfortunately was advised that this would be updated whilst we were away however this was never received. We had a few disruptions from valuations and visits from national grid which unfortunate but diRead mored spoil our time alittle. We would definitely be coming back to North devon as feel we missed so much due to lack of information on the area Hide

Really lovely cottage, so glad we found it, lovely and clean, perfect location for the North Devon coast, well equipped, biggest walled TVs I have watched in the bedroom and lounge. The enclosed garden is a big advantage for your furry friend, lots of walks within easy distance from the cottage. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

It was a really lovely and comfortable stay and the facilities were brilliant. The cottage was beautiful and really nicely furnished.

It appeared to us that this cottage is new to the holiday cottage market - the owner has clearly put a lot of time, money and effort into it. There are a couple of teething issues which would fully expect the owner to fix ASAP given the work they have already completed to a high standard. Overall the cottage is a credit to them. Parking on the roadRead more was never an issue. The friendly local pub is two mins walk up the road and Bishops Tawton is well located for exploring north Devon. Hide
