Swap the stresses of modern life for the sleepy solitude of beautiful North Devon. Tucked on the outskirts of Bideford, this delightful bijou cottage is the perfect escape for two along with two waggy-tailed companions. Unleash your inner explorer and discover the fantastic sights of the nearby coastline, navigating cliff-top trails and stretches of pooch-friendly beaches. Round off your day with a fresh fish supper in a charming seaside village, washed down with local ale. The bubbling hot tub awaits your return, alongside a welcoming gift of fizz and some treats for Fido!

Cosy and intimate with a contemporary flair, this property is packed with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The open-plan living area forms the heart of the cottage, where you can rest your weary paws in front of the wood burner-effect fire. Put your culinary skills to the test with an abundance of local produce in the kitchen, or perhaps you’d prefer to sizzle up a storm on the BBQ for some al fresco dining. Raise a toast together on the shingled patio, enjoying the views of the surrounding countryside. The only thing missing is a washing machine, but nearby Bideford has a friendly launderette if this is needed.

From the cobbled streets of Clovelly, 12 miles away, to the imposing magnificence of Hartland Quay, 17 miles away, there’s plenty to explore along the rugged coastline. Your beloved hound will have a ball playing on dog-friendly beaches such as Instow, 4 miles away, and receiving a warm welcome at the nearby pubs which often have biscuits and water bowls for special guests. The town of Bideford itself is just a mile away down a steep hill, offering a variety of cafes, shops and access to the Tarka Trail for scenic walks and cycling.

The cottage was amazing it was so clean and had everything we needed to have a great stay. The hot tub just added to the enjoyment. We loved that we could walk into Bideford in 10mins but also feel like we were tucked away for everything. We saw some lovely places that we hadnt been to before as we have always stayed in Croyde. Appledore was quaintRead more and had some great places to eat and drink and Instow had a beach that is dog friendly. The little touches by the owners were appreciated greatly Hide

Tarka View is in a really great location for visiting North Devon. The owners were lovely and clearly take great pride in their properties, the cottage was spotlessly clean! The hot tub is pristine and was a nice evening soak after a good day out. It is small, yes, but very well equipped with lovely little touches, superb!
