Elegant chic interiors in bright neutral tones and an outdoor hot tub set the tone for tranquillity in this Devonshire countryside retreat. The open-plan living space is perfect for sociable evenings and dinner parties with your seven other human guests and two four-pawed pals. Set beside the River Torridge and within easy reach of the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, expect a holiday filled with scenic dog walks, lazy beach days and trips to quaint rural villages.

Enter the property through the hall to find yourself in the cosy lounge with textured soft furnishings, ample seating for all and a warming wood burner beneath the Smart TV. Also on the ground floor are two double rooms, one with an en-suite and doors that lead to the terrace, and a single room with a pull-out trundle bed. Upstairs, natural light pours in through the windows of the main living space, keeping it cheerful and airy. Wooden decor, pale colours and chic decor create a laid-back and welcoming kitchen/diner on either side of the staircase. Beneath a mezzanine snug area is the stylish kitchen with a breakfast bar on an island. To the other side of the room is a formal round dining table beside the TV and reading chair. There is also a master double bedroom with an en-suite. Outside, you’ll find a patio with river views, furniture, a hot tub and a BBQ.

Stroll to the bottom of the lawn to find the raised jetty where you can set off on a paddleboarding adventure down the River Torridge. Head to the nearby village Weare Giffard (6 miles) for a pub lunch after taking your canine companions on a hike along the Tarka Trail. Visit Saunton Sands (19.5 miles) for a dip in the sea with Fido.

An absolutely spectacular cottage which had everything we needed. The main dining space and kitchen was fantastic and spacious, but it was lovely to have lots of other rooms and space for anyone who wanted a bit of peace and quiet. The riverside location and views were beautiful. The hot tub was amazing, especially by the light of a full moon with Read morethe sound of the river flowing by. Great communication from Catherine. I thoroughly recommend Ridd Cottage and will definitely be back. Thank you! Hide
