CurLi Cottage

About this property

Tucked away in the idyllic village of Northam, just a short distance from Westward Ho!, is this character, mid-terrace abode, CurLi Cottage. Packed with character and charm, CurLi Cottage is a great base for a family or couple looking to stay in the centre of Northam and access the delights of Westward Ho!, Appledore and Bideford. Step through the front door into the lounge, where you can put your feet up beside the woodburner and discuss the plan of action for your time away. Move into the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up a feast using the electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, before settling at the dining table to enjoy your cooking. Take the evening to the south-west facing courtyard garden, perfect for enjoying your favourite tipple as the sun sets. Move to the first floor to catch your rest, offering a king-size and a single bed, each neutrally presented and offering sea glimpses towards Saunton Sands. Around the corner lies The Golden Lion, where you can enjoy a refreshing pint and game of pool, whilst a little further along is a convenience store and a fish and chip shop for when you fancy something quick. Head to Westward Ho! Beach, a lovely stretch of sand where you can try your hand at a variety of watersports, paddle the shores or sunbathe during the warmer months, before stopping off at the Morans Thai Restaurant for a delicious dinner. A similar distance away is Appledore, home to more restaurants, pubs and shops and a little fishing boat ferry that heads across to Instow beach. Don’t forget to visit the amenities of Bideford, including the Art Gallery and Museum and the Railway Heritage Centre, so there really is plenty to do nearby! For a gorgeous break to a bustling region of Devon, look no further than CurLi Cottage.

Bideford is an historic maritime town on the River Torridge in North Devon. There has been a settlement at Bideford for over a thousand years and it has been an important port throughout its history. Today, Bideford is a thriving town with 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. Bideford is in a fantastic location to explore the surrounding area. It is just a few miles from Westward Ho!, which is dominated by two miles of spectacular coastline and proudly retains the prestigious Blue Flag award year upon year. Its sandy beach, backed by a unique pebble ridge, attracts visitors from all over the country and offers fantastic bathing and watersport activities. Just beyond the pebble ridge is Northam Burrows Country Park, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has 253 hectares of grassy coastal plain with salt marsh, sand dunes and grasslands. The country park is also home to England's oldest golf course. The South West Coastal Path and the famous traffic-free Tarka Trail are close by, providing magnificent walking and cycling opportunities. The award-winning Big Sheep all weather family attraction and the Ultimate Adventure Centre are approximately a mile down the road, with the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Centre and Supermarket a couple of miles away. The delightful quayside village of Appledore and the pretty beach at Instow are both just over three miles away, whilst the traditional market town of Barnstaple is just ten miles away, and the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly, with its quaint cobbled streets, is eleven miles away. The North Devon coast also boasts numerous outstanding beaches, many within easy reach, including those found at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde, Woolacombe and Bude. This is an area of breathtaking beauty, with plenty to see and do for all ages.
