Bideford Holiday Retreat

A modest and comfortable holiday home from home, this quaint cottage is nestled in a row of 200-year-old properties tucked away in the small village of Westleigh which is close to the coast at Instow. The cottage is right in the village’s centre, boasting a popular inn and a church dating back to the 11th century.

Retaining many characterful features, such as low ceilings, this cosy property has two first-floor bedrooms both with Victorian fireplaces with the spacious double bedroom boasting views over the estuary. On the ground floor, a cosy beamed lounge has a wood burner-effect electric fire, a smart TV & HD recorder & CD player and a dining table for four. The kitchen is traditionally furnished and the bathroom with a shower over completes the accommodation.

The nearby Tarka Trail provides miles of flat car-free cycling and walking through glorious Devon countryside and visitors can follow the trail to the beach at Instow just 1 mile away. Across the river, the pretty fishing village of Appledore (4 miles) is well worth exploring and the port town of Bideford lies 2 miles southwest. The wide sandy surfing beach at Westward Ho! (4 miles) is a short drive away and boasts amusement arcades, a golf course and plenty of quality eateries and pubs. An activity centre (4 miles) is within easy reach for active guests.
