HoneysuckleCottage-NorthDevon dates back to the 1800s, converted from farm stables and barns, it is set within a courtyard with far reaching views of the countryside and the coast. Nestled on the outskirts of West Down village and just a few miles from the beach, is this delightful little two bedroomed cottage set amongst large gardens. It is the perfect base for exploring and enjoying the stunning North Devon coast, Exmoor or the many nearby attractions any time of year.

The property includes a lounge , small kitchen complete with hob, superb multi function microwave-oven (can be used as a microwave or conventional oven) newly renovated shower room. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed with twin set up option and the other room with a double bed. The cottage has a smart TV with access to Netflix and iPlayer etc. All linen and bath towels are provided.  Free WiFi.

Suitable for couples, small families or two/three friends. One dog welcome. Dog exercise field.

The cottage has plenty of outdoor space. The front door leads onto a grass courtyard where a patio seat seating four is for our guests to use. Behind the cottage is a rear garden with BBQ area, games rooms, tennis court and further large gardens.  Free parking. Bicycle racks available.

The village of West Down is a 10 minute walk where there is a pub with restaurant, shop, church and playing field with children’s play equipment. Local woodland walks.

Ilfracombe is 3 miles away and its delightful harbour, Woolacombe is 5 miles away with its long sandy beach stretching to Putsborough. Beach cafes dotted along the beach where you can watch the surfers in the sea. The Tarka trail and South West Coastal path is within easy reach. Walking maps available on request. Lundy Island, Clovelly, Exmoor, The Milky Way, Rosemoor Gardens and Dinosaur park are among the many local attractions. as well as surf schools at Woolacombe, Putsborough and Croyde.

We accept one dog (two if only two humans). Whilst we have large gardens, dogs must be kept on a lead. However we have a dog exercise field. It is best to have use of a car, although there is a good bus route to Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Barnstaple within a 30 minute walk to the bus stop.

Bikes can be hired in Braunton and Barnstaple.

Annual holiday 2023
Very nice cottage and facilities inc tennis court & pool table. Good location for sandy beaches or rugged north coast around Ilfracombe. Cottage was very snug for 2 older teenagers, but we were forewarned. Local pub did some cracking food & beer!

Weekend break, base from which to meet family staying nearby
Cosy, compact, dog friendly cottage, immaculately clean, very well equipped, well presented living area and very comfy beds. Nearby village, excellent food pub and good community run shop, stocking local produce. Pub welcomes dogs. Communication with owner simplicity itself.
