Notes
- We bought the cottage in 1982. When our children were young we often stayed at a pub in Iddlesleigh and Bucks Mills and the beach was one of our favourite places to visit. We were surprised and delighted on one of our visits to find most of the cottages were for sale They were being sold by the Pine-coffin family to pay death duties. My wife managed to buy the cottage we wanted at the auction. We use it ourselves & also let to friends and visitors. We have tried not to change the cottage and it still has its original character. We have stayed in many self catering cottages & we try to provide everything you need for a super holiday. Well behaved dogs welcome. Outside: Own private garden with picnic table and benches. Few minute walk down lane to beach (no through road). Parking in lay-by outside cottage. All electricity, bed linen & towels (exc. beach towels) included in rent. Property is cleaned and inspected after every let but we expect you to leave it you found it. Thank you

Ask a questionAbout Joanna Stevens
Bucks Mills was one of our favourite villages and beaches and we were very excited when we saw that most of the village cottages were being sold to pay death duties. We bought the cottage when it was auctioned and used it for family and friends, we now also let it but it is still used by our family and grandchildren.
