At Watermouth Cove there is a pretty complex of eight cottages. Once the stables and coach house of Watermouth Castle, they were converted to holiday accommodation 30 years ago. Watermouth Cove Cottages are situated beside the castle grounds, just 200 yards from the harbour and South West coastal path. The cottages are set in a wooded valley and surrounded by lovely Devon countryside.
The cottage grounds are a haven for a wide range of wild life including Squirrels, Foxes and many birds such as Woodpeckers, Jays, Goldfinches, Nuthatches as well as the usual Robins and Blue Tits.
Buzzards often soar over the cottages and recently Egrets have visited the Castle pond.
Watermouth
Cove is a rural seaside idyll within a few minutes drive of
beautiful Berrynarbor and the beach resorts of Combe
Martin and Ilfracombe with a wide choice of pubs, restaurants
and local
attractions.
Watermouth Cove Cottages are ideally situated for a wide range of local attractions and activities to suite people of all ages. Numerous local attractions include Watermouth Castle, Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, Exmoor Zoo, Exmoor National Park, Valley of the Rocks, Lynton & Barnstaple (Woody Bay) railway, Arlington Court, Chambercombe Manor, RHS Rosemoor, Marwood and Broomhill gardens.
