Devon Self Catering cottage, Saltwind Granary, Clovelly, sleeps 3

Gorgeous stylish cottage converted from barns. A haven for peace and tranquillity. Footpath to the coast.

Surrounded by meadows. Clovelly 5½ miles.

Amid meadows along little lanes 5½ miles from Clovelly is this cottage, one of a group converted from old barns. Just a field away from the North Devon coast and the South West Coast Path, it is a rural haven for walkers and anyone seeking peace. On the ground level you will notice the upside down layout when you come across the two bedrooms.

Head on upstairs to your open plan living space, all beautifully stylish with lofty beamed ceiling and light from French windows taking you down steps to the garden. This is carefully designed accommodation with comfort and chic style. Sit out in the sunshine in the tidy and private garden to the side of the cottage, complete with table and chairs.

In 100 yards you will find a National Trust footpath leading you to the dramatic coastline. There are lots of pretty places for you to explore, with the cobbled car-free streets of the ancient harbourside village of Clovelly and striking Hartland. You can take day trips to Lundy Island from Clovelly, or head to fabulous surf and sand beaches at Westward Ho! and Bude.

The children will love the two family adventure parks with adrenaline boosting rides within ten miles, especially handy if the weather is less than favourable. Saltwind Granary is an idyll, a haven for peace and discovering the North Devon coastline.
