Located in the heart of Bideford, within a one-minute stroll of all the shops, cafes and restaurants, is this grade II listed period cottage.  Built in 1800, Diesel’s Den is a cosy, compact and attractive bolt hole sleeping up to 3 guests, making it the perfect choice for either a couple, two friends or indeed a small family to enjoy. 

The small, historic port town of Bideford is situated on the estuary of the River Torridge, famed for its lovely old bridge (1 minute walk from Cottage) that links the town to its neighbouring village, and the beautiful countryside and coastline that lies within a stone's throw of the town. Bideford is also well-known for its steep coastline that levels out into some of the finest blue flag sandy beaches in the country including Westwood Ho! just a 10-minute drive from the cottage.

This thriving market town and busy port boasts a wide range of shops, amenities, pubs and restaurants to cater for the needs of visitors of all ages, whilst there are several charming villages nearby that are worth visiting - Appledore, Instow and Clovelly.

Bideford itself is renowned for its New Year's Eve celebrations, where visitors and locals alike don extravagant fancy dress costumes and head to one of the many Inns on the quayside to see in the New Year.  For the energetic, the famous Tarka Trail is one of the country’s longest continuous traffic-free walking and cycling paths and makes use of disused railway tracks – the perfect way to explore the beautiful North Devon Countryside with easy access from the cottage, just 3 minutes across the old Bideford Bridge.

Please note: This property is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with walking difficulties due to the stairs and there being no allocated parking included with the cottage - please contact us to obtain a copy of the access statement for further details.
