Watermouth Cove Cottages, Watermouth, North Devon The eight pretty cottages are set in tranquil grounds in a secluded valley adjacent to 150-year old Watermouth Castle just 200 yards from the sea. They are located half way between Combe Martin and Ilfracombe on the North Devon coast. They comprise the former coach house and stables of the castle, enclosed in their own courtyard, with a beautiful garden at the rear. Watermouth Cove Cottages provide self-contained, comfortable and well-equipped self-catering holiday homes. |
The cottages all feature full cooking facilities with ample crockery, fridge [Smugglers Cove has a fridge/freezer] and immensely labour-saving microwaves and dishwashers. There is a laundry room on site with washing machines and tumble dryer, and a public payphone. Each cottage has a colour television with DVD in the lounge.
The cottages offer accommodation from two up to eight people. Large groups of up to 40 people can be accommodated, ideal for that family reunion or for special events.
For animal lovers, the garden at Watermouth Cove Cottages is visited by foxes, rabbits, woodpeckers and jays, together with hundreds of garden birds. Badgers have also been seen late at night. The nearby lake has a multitude of ducks which visit the cottages regularly. Well behaved pets are welcome at Watermouth Cove Cottages and the area is rich in footpaths and trails.

Within ten minutes walk of Watermouth Cove Cottages there is the local pub, The Old Sawmill, which offers real ales and pub grub. Watermouth Lodges, a couple of minutes walk away on the other side of the castle, provides meals and drinks during the high season, and diners may use the outdoor heated swimming pool [please note, not the indoor pool]. Watermouth Cove Yacht Club welcomes our guests to their bar on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Within five minutes drive is an excellent restaurant at the Sandy Bay Hotel, good ales and home cooked food at Ye Olde Globe in Berrynarbor. Two miles in either direction are the resorts of Combe Martin (with a CAMRA recommended pub, The Castle) and Ilfracombe with a variety of pubs and restaurants, including Chinese, Indian and Italian. Damien Hirst's Ilfracombe restaurant opened in January 2004.
For more details on the surrounding area, see further information.
Bookings are normally from Friday to Friday, enabling visitors to avoid much of the holiday season Saturday traffic jams. See tariffs.
Out of season short weekend breaks for other periods are always available. These are extremely popular particularly by people requiring a more restful break to ‘recharge their batteries’, for example to recover from the Christmas and New Year festivities. Most of the cottages have log-burning stoves. In winter these give a lovely cozy feeling to evenings when returning from a walk along the shore.
Excellent last minute savings are sometimes possible at short notice. It is always worth phoning to see what is available with prices starting from only £99 for a booked short break.
