Externally, guests can enjoy the garden and patio area, along with taking in the beauty of the surrounding countryside. A cot, high chair and stair gate are provided for family bookings.
Life in Bideford has historically been based around river life with a thriving import and export industry during the 16th Century with several street names and a hill named in honour of Sir Walter Raleigh. Away from the charm of the town itself, the surrounding area is where you will find the true beauty of the region. Take inspiration from the acclaimed novel Tarka the Otter and set out on a section of the 180 mile long Tarka Trail, which is both cycle and walker friendly.
There are a selection of unique family attractions in the area sure to entertain those of all ages, including the Big Sheep in Bideford, home to sheep racing and dog and duck trials. For thrill seekers, Bideford’s Milky Way Adventure Park offers an all-inclusive day of family fun with roller coasters, indoor play areas, regular shows and a gruelling assault course.

A week of wonderful weather at Gilly's and Dennis' cottage. The cottage and grounds are lovely and beautifully kept. Thank you both so much. A fantastic place for children, my 3 year old daughter Isabella loved the chickens and sheep and it was lovely that she was able to run around free and enjoy herself. Lots to keep her entertained here, games, toys, DVDs and books so I could have a nice break in the garden! Gilly and Dennis are wonderful hosts and we would love to come back. Isabella has already said she wants to live here!
