2 Bedroom Cottage in Bideford

Find creative inspiration at this unique holiday home in the pretty village of Abbotsham, in the heart of the Devon countryside. Perfect for romantic couples and small groups alike, it’s overflowing with authentic character – a real show-stopper for fantasy film fans. Sitting just outside popular coastal village of Westward Ho! (2 miles), it’s a great accommodation option for surfers. The surf at Westward Ho! is some of the safest in Devon - the water is relatively shallow and there are few riptides and no hidden rocks - so it’s ideal for beginners, younger surfers or anyone who is feeling a little rusty on a board. History buffs will adore spending a day in Clovelly (10.5 miles), a beautiful fishing village that’s steeped in maritime history. While you’re there, check out the gardens at Clovelly Court and pay a visit to the Fisherman’s Cottage and Kingsley Museum. Further afield, animal-lovers will love spending some time at War Horse Valley Country Farm Park (21 miles), where you can meet alpacas, ponies and miniature donkeys – as well as treat yourself to a Devonshire cream tea.

Before you step inside, take a moment to appreciate the inventive architecture of this one-off building, which has rounded walls, a circular door and exposed brickwork. Once inside, you’ll be delighted to discover that each room has been styled in a fantasy film theme. Step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and you’ll find a spacious and stylish space that’s perfect for socialising with your loved ones. Take a moment to relax by the glowing wood burner in the inviting lounge area before heading to the country-style kitchen area to rustle up some dinner. Enjoy an informal dinner in the compact dining area, before spending a cosy evening in front of your favourite TV shows in the lounge area. When it’s time for bed, two welcoming bedrooms are waiting for you – a grand double and a light and bright twin with zip-and-link beds that can be converted into a double on request.

Outside there’s a pretty enclosed garden with a charcoal BBQ and patio garden furniture for dining alfresco. There’s also a private hot tub with pretty views over the fields.
