This former coach house offers stylish reverse level accommodation within the grounds of the owner’s home, yet your privacy is assured. Located close to the village of Northam, and within walking distance to Westward Ho! with its golden sands and surf school. Northam Burrows Country Park which provides a wonderful backdrop for scenic walks amongst the sand dunes are just next to the beach. The pretty village of Appledore is just a short drive away and makes a lovely place to spend an afternoon watching the boats in the harbour or perhaps catching the ferry across the estuary to Instow. The larger town of Bideford is also close by, with a range of independent shops scattered along its narrow streets.

This property is accessed on foot through double gates and into the private courtyard. Stepping into the kitchen/diner, where the kitchen area itself is impressive and decorated with cool neutral tones, giving a seaside feel, well-equipped with a combi microwave oven and induction hob, fridge with ice compartment, Tassimo coffee machine and dishwasher to do all the work for you, you have everything you need. Through to the dining area enjoy a romantic meal or a lazy breakfast and make use of the Bose speaker available. Leading off the kitchen/diner is the bedroom which has doors leading out the courtyard and has a king-size bed which benefits from Hilary blinds and an en-suite shower and WC. A flight of stairs from the dining area leads you to the first floor where you will find a relaxing lounge area with Smart TV/DVD, sea views and a wood burner effect electric fire for those cooler evenings, its a great spot to sit and relax with a good book overlooking the burrows and to the sea beyond.

Heading outside there is a patio courtyard with table and chairs in front of the kitchen entrance and more relaxing rattan style furniture next to the hot tub, a perfect place to sit out and enjoy pre dinner drinks. There is parking provided for one car outside the double gates.

Absolutely beautiful, cute little cottage. The owners have provided everything you need to make it a comfortable stay.

This is a clean well presented property. It's upside down with. Kit diner bedroom and ensuite downstairs and a lounge with a view of the sea upstairs.

Lovely, clean and comfortable (the bed is so comfy I didnt want to get up!) well presented. The amenities arent too far but the road is quite busy if youre walking in the dark. Quiet area apart from the building site behind the property. There were only 3 people on site during the week though so noise was at a minimum.

Great place with everything you needed. Spotlessly clean and comfortable bed. However, we did feel the hot tub was unusable due to the awkwardness of getting in due to the steps not fitting down the side of the hot tub, so you have to just use a small corner of the top step and hold on to the drainpipe. We also found the combi oven too complicated Read moreto use and it ruined food, a standard oven would have meant we wouldnt have to eat out all week, both things would stop us returning Im afraid.
