About this property
This 16th-century cottage is perfect for families or groups of friends that are looking for a coastal getaway in a charming village with access to stunning beaches and walking routes. Sleeping six over three peaceful bedrooms and with up to two dogs welcome, no one needs to get left behind here. With the delights of Saunton Sands (2.5 miles) and Putsborough Beach (5 miles) nearby, guests are spoiled for sandy beaches and outdoor adventures.
The cottage has many original quirks that lend to its character, but has also been renovated with contemporary features such as underfloor heating to keep feet (and paws) cosy. Relax in the lounge space with its exposed wooden beams; curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner and watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Cook up a storm in the farmhouse-style kitchen and dine in the elegant dining room complete with a long table for all to gather around, or eat at the table in the corner of the lounge that looks out through the airy French doors. Completing the ground floor is a WC for all to use. Upstairs, three welcoming bedrooms await; two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room. A quirky bathroom with a free-standing bath completes the cottage’s interior. The outside space offers a charming courtyard and patio for guests to enjoy morning cuppas in the sun or al fresco dinners under the stars.

Mr Tate
Quite a Tardis of a cottage. All rooms ( save for the kitchen which was practicable) were very large and characterful. The sweeping staircase up to the spacious landing was stylish and dramatic. The wood doors and exposed beams were lovely. We were surprised how warm the cottage was and did not even open the bag of logs we bought. The allocated parking space was nearby but was very tight to navigate. Easy access to nearby Burrows ( sandy dunes ) and Saunton beach which were both excellent .

Mrs Brophy
A lovely spacious cottage in an excellent position. Very comfortable beds and lovely soft bed linen. Very useful Hive thermostat as the house was really cold when we arrived. Excellent parking for one car. Easy walking to some excellent restaurants and good shops. Be aware, care should be taken when using the stairs in the cottage, particularly if a guest has any mobility problem and there are a number of steps into rooms upstairs. The outside area which is pleasantly sunny is small and not sufficient seating for 6 persons. Paving uneven. Note that though there are two bathrooms there is only one shower.
