A great base for couples and small families, this cosy stone cottage is set in a pretty courtyard, with use of a shared heated outdoor pool and children's play area.

The sunniest of cottages, this beachside retreat is a stylish barn conversion, just 1 mile from the sights and seaside sounds of Westward Ho! Relax in these cosy, bright interiors before heading out to the sea, where your dog will adore exploring 2 miles of golden sand and surf.

The cottage sits in a sweet courtyard of properties, with a pretty stone facade. Inside, the living space is open and airy, combining a comfortable lounge, washed with light from the arched feature window, and a kitchen/dining space. This is the ideal spot to plan the day’s adventures over breakfast. Head through to the bedroom, a triple room including a double and single bed, providing a calming, comfortable hideaway for a growing family. The space outside the cottage will really get you in the holiday spirit. As part of a shared complex of properties, you can enjoy access to a courtyard garden, phenomenal children’s play area, and even a heated swimming pool, while your canine buddy stretches her legs on the lawn.
A sweet 1.5-mile walk will bring you to the Westward Ho! beach, where you can learn to surf or enjoy the amusements or give in to your dog’s adorable whining and let her roam the 2 miles of soft sand. The beach also sits on the route of the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail, a great way to break in your walking boots and tire out your pup along the gorgeous North Devon coast.

Within 5 to 10 minutes drive from Westward Ho, we found the property was excellent. A particular bonus was the enclosed dog run as we have a dog we would not trust off the lead. The owners could not have made us more welcome. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We loved our stay in the bilbury/Beech cottage. The only negative was the weather and the 7 hour journey home. We will definitely be coming back sooner rather than later . Mrs Langmead was very welcoming and is a great host .

Pool is great asset to property, but every time you venture out you have to negotiate single track road. Bathroom sink tap exceedingly stiff after running hot water, frees up after using cold water.

No BBC and picture is breaking up all the time making it more or less impossible to watch. Nice touch to leave small milk in fridge. Hide

Stunning cottages with all the equipment needed. A small under counter fridge/freezer. Shops close by for all necessary bits.
