Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Bideford (3.5mls SW), Devon

This attractive barn conversion offers contemporary and comfortable decor against the backdrop of a traditional farm building which has been sensitively renovated. It is ideally situated for a rural retreat, nestling in the grounds of the owner's property on this former farm. It is also close to the lively port town of Bideford (4 miles) and all the family attractions along the beautiful North Devon coast.

You and your family will love relaxing in the spacious, sunlight-drenched lounge or sprawling on deep, comfortable sofas to watch a movie on Blu-ray in the evening. Open up the French windows and spill straight out on to a patio area complete with table and chairs, so you can enjoy as much of that holiday fresh-air feeling as you can. Towards the rear of the property there is also a beautiful sun lounge with doors which open up onto an enclosed garden; indulge in the private hot tub or dine alfresco to make the most of those long summer evenings.

The ancient town of Bideford (5 miles) offers parks, galleries, shops and restaurants - and access to The Oldenburg ferry which sails out to the spectacular Lundy Island, with its puffins, seals and other wildlife on show. Westward Ho! (5 miles) with its long sandy beach, Atlantic surf and seafront with lively amusements provides enjoyment for everyone.

Golfers might like to play a round at The Royal North Devon Golf Club (5 miles), an historic course that stretches across Northam Burrows Country Park. The BIG Sheep (3 miles) and The Milky Way Adventure Park (6 miles) also offer family fun days out.
