Upstairs is an attractive double bedroom, with exposed beams and an oak latched door. Across the landing is a modern bathroom with a three-quarter bath with a fitted shower over the bath. In addition, there is also a well-presented children's room. Opposite the cottage is an enclosed and slightly raised terrace where guests can sit and relax.

In the heart of the village of West Down, this cottage is proximal to a popular 17th-century free house as well as the well-supported community village store. Close to the cottage is the community field where your four-legged friend can stretch their legs! The cottage is well located for guests looking to visit the golden sandy beaches of Woolacombe (5 miles) and Putsborough (6 miles), ideal for surfers and beach lovers with rolling, unbroken surf and views out towards Lundy. The high moors, deep valleys and sparkling rivers of Exmoor National Park (10 miles) beckon for other memorable days out. The harbour town of Ilfracombe (4.5 miles) with Damien Hirst’s bronze sculpture Verity, and many individual shops, cafes and restaurants is nearby and well worth a visit too.

Great dog friendly cottage
Stayed for 3 nights in July Cottage. It was a very tastefully decorated cottage with everything you need plus lots of thoughtful extras, phone charger for example. It’s extremely dog friendly & has its own small garden a short distance away and the large community field is only a minute away for taking out dogs for exercise.
Are at the village pub, the Crown & food was good. Community Stores stocks essentials.
It is only 15-20min drive to the glorious beaches whilst being in a nice non tourist village.
Will recommend to friends
