 Gull Cottage
Nr Bideford, Devon.,United Kingdom
"Character cottages in a tranquil oasis...embraced by glorious countryside"
With stunning views over Jennett's Reservoir to Exmoor, these six E.T.C. `4 Star' cottages are surrounded by rolling countryside, and offer a peaceful and secluded setting, with wide sandy beaches close by. Sensitively converted by local craftsmen, the cottages are grouped around a cobbled courtyard, behind the owner's 17th-century farmhouse, and retain much individual character with original beams and stone walls. Equipped to a very high standard, the addition of modern day comforts has resulted in a collection of cosy holiday homes, offering wonderful all-year round accommodation, with each cottage boasting its own garden and patio. Lush meadows and woodland extending to 14 acres (and home to a wide variety of wildlife) provide opportunities for pleasant strolls, and a purpose-built leisure complex offers superb on-site facilities. Open daily and with an adjoining conservatory, the indoor heated swimming-pool (complete with jet stream, large shallow stepped end and constant depth of 1.2 metres), is complemented by a hot spa tub and games room. There is a children's play area to keep youngsters happily amused, as does a separate ball games area. Many quaint villages await discovery nearby - the very photogenic `chocolate box' village of Clovelly being of particular note. Nearby Appledore offers all the old world charm of a fishing village, famous for its arts, crafts and maritime heritage. Beach lovers will delight in the wide sandy beaches, the nearest being the Blue Flag Westward Ho!. Walkers can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the coastal path, while the Tarka Trail traces the steps of Henry Williamson's Tarka the Otter and provides miles of traffic-free cycling - bikes can be stored securely or hired locally. The award-winning farm parks, The Milky Way and The Big Sheep will fascinate the younger ones. Also of interest are the RHS Rosemoor Gardens. Several local pubs nearby, with the nearest in the village serving real ale and home cooked food.
