Pillhead Cottage

About this property

This beautiful cottage lies in the town of Bideford, home to a medieval bridge, town quay, quaint pannier market and vibrant shopping area. Pillhead Cottage invites guests to the rural delights of the destination, benefiting from a shared outdoor swimming pool during the summer months. Four steps from the parking area take you to a small patio and then inside to a lovely sun room, your own snug, wrapped in views of the garden, a chance to truly get away from it all. In contrast, the lounge looks out over the landscape to the rear, featuring a picnic bench, with sheep and countryside beyond. Close by, an all-white kitchen is freshly designed, a modern country addition to the cottage. On the ground floor there is a bathroom with shower and Wash-Hand-Basin toilet. And lastly, three bedrooms complete the interior, presented in a variety of styles for you and the children, all well-appointed for the fashionable family bathroom. Situated on a working sheep farm, all the cottages share the grounds, a splendid outdoor heated swimming pool (15 x 30 x 4 to 5 deep) with paddling pool (10' x 9' x 1'6" deep), available from the Friday immediately preceding the last bank holiday in May to the first Friday in September, a sunbathing terrace (loungers) and mown orchard. There is a short walk up the lane from Pillhead Cottage to access the shared areas and pool. Pillhead Cottage has a private hot tub.

The town of Bideford is situated on the River Torridge in North Devon. Bideford offers a fine selection of shops (including individual shops), cafes and restaurants, a park and the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Centre located on the outskirts of the town. Close by there are sandy beaches, the Northam Burrows Country Park, the South West Coastal Path and Big Sheep Adventure Park.
