Nestling in the countryside, the wing of this farmhouse provides spacious and comfortable accommodation near Bideford, North Devon. This is a wonderful choice for families who wish to experience life on a working Devon farm. You will find the kitchen spacious and well equipped with all the modern appliances for an effortless holiday and when evening comes, settle down in the open plan sitting and dining area on some comfy sofas and warm yourself in front of the wood burning stove. The bedrooms are roomy and have a real country feel with some wonderful, far reaching countryside views from the front. After a peaceful night's sleep, step outside and let the fun begin! With two other holiday cottages on site, this is the perfect place for children and adults to enjoy some outdoor fun, adventure and relaxation. Maybe you will be there to help out at lambing time, or sit and cast your line in one of the lakes. Children will delight as the lambs skip over to say hello while they are making friends in the play area. Fancy trying your hand at some clay pigeon shooting? Equipment is provided and days can be purchased at just 40p per shot. As darkness settles, an array of nocturnal creatures including owls, foxes and badgers can be watched under a canopy of stars unblemished by city lights. The market town of Bideford sits on the west bank of the River Torridge and has a good selection of shops and eateries. A visit to the Pannier Market is a treat for lovers of local produce and hop on a boat from here to Lundy Island or a cruise along the coast. North Devon has some beautiful stretches of soft golden sands and award winning beaches, surfing waves, sandcastle competitions and water sports galore. Westward Ho!, which takes its name from the novel by Charles Kingsley has a wide stretch of beach separating the Northam Burrows with a pebble ridge, here golf lovers can try their hand at the Royal North Devon Golf Club, reputedly the oldest links course in the UK or maybe a horse-ride along the beach. This is the perfect choice for those who are looking for an outdoor adventure.
Straddling the Torridge estuary, the quaint bustling town of Bideford boasts a medieval bridge, town quay, quaint pannier market and vibrant shopping area - all well worth a visit.

The beautiful cliff-top fishing village of Clovelly is half an hour by road, and the delights of Exmoor and Dartmoor can be reached in under an hour.

The property and itâs gardens/ponds were throughly loved and enjoyed by everyone in our party. We had such a wonderful time relaxing in both the house and by the ponds and made use of all of the houseâs great features: bath, TV with netflix, the large living and dining space. Felt so isolated and it was such a peaceful stay, yet only ten mins away from Westward-Ho and even closer to supermarkets and shops. We would definitely love to stay again and will recommend to family and friends.

Perfect location and lots of amenities around including beaches. Owners were amazing and always full of suggestions of what to do locally. Will book again. Em & Mel, Canada

Double bedroom very nicely decorated and bed and bedding very comfortable. Living room and other bedrooms a bit tired looking. It would have been great if there had been some staple cupboard supplies/condiments such as salt, pepper, oil etc . Also more dishwasher tablets would have been useful (3 for 8 people for 4 days is not quite enough), as would more tea towels (one wasnt enough) and a draining board.
