At a glance

  • A simply charming cottage in the heart of the beautiful village of Braunton
  • Open up the property's bi-fold doors and dine al fresco on one of the two patio areas during those warmer evenings, or come inside and relax in front of the inviting wood burner
  • A great base for exploring North Devon's beaches such as Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe

 

Property code: OC-65164

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is this charming cottage, which provides a great base for exploring North Devon beaches at Woolacombe (7 miles), Saunton (3 miles) and Croyde (5 miles). Saunton is dog-friendly all year round, making it a great choice for those with waggy tailed family members. Located less than 200 metres from the centre of town, the cottage is in easy reach of an array of shops, restaurants, pubs and a park for walking the hounds. Two bedrooms provide ample space for three guests and two dogs.

Stepping into the charming cottage, the lounge offers a welcoming space with a wood burner and inglenook fireplace taking centre stage. It’s the perfect addition to a chilly autumn evening whilst you enjoy a good book and a glass of wine. A traditional kitchen/diner awaits you, with plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy a hearty meal together. Cottage stairs lead to the first floor and the bedrooms, one of which is a double, and the bathroom with WC. For quiet days in, you can always enjoy home-cooked grub alfresco. Step outside through the bi-folding doors into the courtyard patio area for a peaceful spot to sit hidden from the world.

As well as the wonderful beaches nearby, those looking to explore the wider area will be hard pressed to find a better high street than Barnstaple (6 miles away), which has a market and independent shops alongside high street staples. Stretching your legs at Exmoor National Park (15 miles away) is another possibility, which has stunning landscape and riverside views. Dogs will appreciate the challenging terrain, but do be sure to take plenty of water for your canine pals.

We had a lovely time at Heanton Cottage. It's a very pretty and well equipped cottage with a lovely relaxed feel to it. The enclosed courtyard was ideal for our dog. Free on street parking was available just around the corner. We would highly recommend this cottage.

We loved our stay at Heanton cottage, its located in a very busy street with loads of traffic, but very close to shops and a variety of restaurants.

We loved our stay at Heanton cottage and so did our dogs, the cosy lounge with the wood burner was perfect and we loved the little welcoming pack that was left from the local Deli. Our only thing was the road being a little noisy but thats just because at home we live in the middle of nowhere so we arent used to traffic!

A very comfortable cottage apart from a few minor issues. Firstly parking. The road is very narrow and whilst it is double yellow lines outside the cottage we loaded and offloaded anyway.
