Accomodation Details
A delightful cottage located in a calm and friendly neighbourhood between the lovely market town of Northam and Appledore in Devon. Front garden with lawn, patio, furniture and hammock set in a ¾ acre picturesque Victorian style garden, with flowering shrubs, bushes and fruit trees through meandering pathways and arbours, perfect for birdwatching, reading, sunbathing and for children playing and exploring the nature. Great location, shops and pub are 10 mins walk from the cottage - The beautiful Westward Ho beach, Appledore and Instow beach between 1-1.5 miles and the coastal path is just 15 mins walk from the cottage, perfect for walking all year round.

Area
Northam is a small village with a restaurant, pub, takeaway and small supermarket and lies on the hill above the lively village of Westward Ho! Westward Ho! has a two mile long glorious sandy beach, an excellent selection of cafes, bars and restaurants, a surf school and shops. The beach is popular for surfing and kite surfing, plus life guards are on duty during the summer season and there's a designated dog area. The Tarka Trail runs through Bideford and is especially popular with cyclists, with cycle hire, including child buggies and even dog buggies available here and at many places along the way. Northam Burrows is part of North Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is enjoyed by walkers, and the Royal North Devon Golf Club is also here. For the more energetic the coastal path to Peppercombe and Clovelly offers stunning views along the coastline. From Bideford there are boat trips to Lundy Island, and nearby Appledore has fascinating narrow streets, interesting shops, fish and chips shops and a restaurant, as well as fishing trips. Family attractions nearby include the Big Sheep and Milky Way, as well as National Trust properties, Hartland Abbey, RHS Rosemoor and Dartington Glass. Also Clovelly is delightful with its quay, steep cobbled streets and donkeys and no cars are allowed down into the village. There's plenty to see and do from Northam.

Region
Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?
