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.

Bookings are normally from Friday to Friday, enabling
visitors to avoid much of the holiday season Saturday traffic jams. See

Out of

extremely popular particularly by people requiring a more restful break to
