Honey cottage is a lovely detached property, has 3 bedrooms 2 double 1 with en-suite and 1 twin. A well equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher, etc., dining room with Log burner, lounge with doors leading to conservatory. The cottage has a pretty garden with outside seating. There is also a downstairs cloakroom as well a first floor bathroom and shower. The cottage has its own parking space opposite the cottage as well as an integral double garage which links to the conservatory. Honey Cottage is just 300m from the sea front where you can try rock pooling or just relax by the sea.
Local attractions: For the children there is Watermouth Castle,a fun day for all with dungeon scenes, theme park, etc which is 1 mile away. Combe Martin Wildlife Park with big cats and a dinosaur theme is 5 miles. The Golden beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde are a short drive . The pretty harbours of Ilfracombe is within 1 mile south and Watermouth Harbour is 1 mile north. Trips to the island of Lundy can be made from Ilfracombe, as well as sea fishing and diving.
The coast path runs close to the cottage.
Dining and shopping: There are 2 pub /restaurants within walking distance. The larger towns of Barstaple and Bideford are 30min drive away both have pannier markets. Lynton and Lynmouth with its unique cliff railway is well worth a visit and a drive back through the valley of rocks to woody bay and hunters inn is well worth it if you like stunning scenery on the edge of Exmoor National Park,all this within 10 miles.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Hayne
Wendy and i bought the property with a view to moving down to North Devon at a later date. But unfortunately that has not happened yet as commitments with a busy manufacturing business and children, with new grand children keep us in Buckinghamshire. for the time being. We moved to Buckingham from Chesham in 1996 but we always enjoyed holidays in North Devon with the Children. Now grown up with their own families they to love the area, and often use Honey Cottage of Course.
Why they chose this property
Honey Cottage ticked all the boxes for us nicely tucked away but within a short stroll to local pubs and restaurants, golf and sea front. We have tried to keep the cottage in good condition. With old properties there is always work to be done.
