  • Quiet rural setting yet perfect for touring the whole of North Devon and over the border into Cornwall
  • Plenty of scenic walking trails straight from your doorstep, perfect for four pawed friends too
  • One of three wonderfully refurbished cottages with an emphasis on style and comfort
Property code: OC-R27561

Tucked on the end of two other cottages, this rural hideaway invites you to unwind in the countryside while offering easy access to Devon and Cornwall''s mesmerizing coastlines. Perfectly suited to dog-loving friends or families, enjoy a cosy open-plan living space boasting wonderful original features and 13 acres of shared grounds for you and Fido to explore.

Cross the threshold into the sociable lounge/kitchen/diner and immediately feel at home amidst the welcoming design and original features. Sink into the comfortable sofa and two armchairs, ready to enjoy a film on the Smart TV while Rover lazes in front of the electric wood burner effect fire. Prepare your favourite meals in the kitchen, while the dining table accommodates all guests for fun-filled shared meal times. A family shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two bright and breezy bedrooms await, a master bedroom with a double bed and a twin room, both with plenty of character. Outside, a sprawling shared lawn beckons with outdoor games, seating, and a BBQ – perfect for al fresco dining. Children and dogs can roam freely, and a short walk takes you to the lake with plenty for inquisitive hounds to sniff out along the way.

If you can tear yourself away from the cottage, Bude and the spectacular North Cornwall coastline are 14 miles away. Strike out towards tail-wagging adventure on the South West Coast path, or spend the day on the golden sands of Summerleaze Beach, where dogs must be on the lead during summer months. For unrestricted year-round seaside frolics with furry friends, head to Northcott Mouth Beach (16 miles), Sandymouth Bay (15 miles)or Duckpool Beach (15.5 miles). Alternatively, discover the wilds of Dartmoor National Park (20 miles) and roam the high moors or wooded river valleys on walkies to remember.

Not an ideal location if you don't like driving on narrow, twisty lanes or want to be in the thick of things ... if you want a peaceful, rural retreat it is absolutely wonderful, we certainly loved it! The cottage was cosy but spacious enough for a family of four with good room sizes and plenty of storage.

We had a wonderful stay at Rainbow cottage and enjoyed the lovely welcome pack on arrival after a long journey. Cottage was really cosy and convenient for visits to nearby attractions. Very comfortable beds, we all slept very well. Setting was so peaceful and relaxing, we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and star gazing in the front garden.
