TEMPERANCE COTTAGE

About this property

braunton temperance cottage overview

braunton temperance cottage has been lovingly decorated throughout, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere, a real home from home in the bustling village of Braunton. Original fireplaces and beamed ceilings remain, with a modern, bright, seaside feel. 3 bedrooms sleep 6, and there is a splendid outdoor space with raised deck, BBQ and far reaching views.

Braunton village is within easy reach of the fantastic beaches of Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe. If you enjoy cycling or walking, the renowned Tarka trail can be accessed from the village and this follows the Taw and Torridge estuaries. The ideal base for dog walkers and ramblers, this home from home is perfect for families, groups of friends and weekend surf breaks. Unfortunately the old design of the cottage makes it inaccessible to those who are less mobile and small children would need to be supervised in the raised gardens.

Two sofas seat 6 and there is a double glazed sash window and original artwork by local artists.
