4 Bed Cottage in Bideford

About this property

Unwind and recharge your batteries at this delightful and surprisingly spacious property, which is set in an enviable position overlooking the sandy beach and dunes at Instow. Perfectly positioned within the lovely waterside village of Instow which offers a variety of family and dog friendly restaurants and bars as well as a wonderful deli and tearoom, all a level walk along the seafront. Take an evening stroll and watch the sun set, over the fishing village of Appledore. If you can pull yourself away from the property there is a small passenger ferry (which runs during the summer) that takes you across the estuary to the fishing village of Appledore, with its narrow street and cobbled “Drang” ways. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break or adventures and activities the area caters for all needs; take a cycle ride on the beautiful Tarka Trail which runs through the village and offers miles of traffic free cycleways and footpaths, enjoy a day body boarding or book surfing lessons at nearby sandy beach of Westward Ho! Also, well worth a visit are family attractions such as The Big Sheep and The Milky Way, walk down the cobbled street of the quintessential fishing village of Clovelly, visit the beautiful gardens at Tapeley park and RHS Gardens at Rosemoor – to name but a few. Whatever you choose your memories will linger long after your perfect holiday draws to a close.
