  • "We had a wonderful few days ."

    The house is beautiful and location perfect. However as we were there over new year we missed champagne flutes. We also thought that as it was a holiday rental there were too many personal objects left in the house with very little empty storage space for guests. This did not effect our stay however and we had a fabulous time but might be worth thinking about for future rentals.

    Thank you for your helpful review. We are very glad you had a fabulous time, that's lovely to hear. Absolutely on the champagne flutes! We will stock up :) We have left personal objects because this used to be a family home and is still used by family members; we will make sure we streamline what is left out. There are chests of drawers in each bedroom, but no hanging cupboards in the Annexe due to limited space in the bedrooms (small 17th-18th century cottage). Hangers on the backs of doors are provided, also in the hall area, along with space for boots and shoes. We will look into whether additional hanging space and/or drawers could be provided.

The property

Woolfardisworthy (Woolsery) 3.2 miles.

The Laundry Cottage is tucked away in a stretch of ancient woodland on North Devon’s awe-inspiring Atlantic coast.

The cottage is located on the Clovelly estate, next to the iconic seaside village of Clovelly.

This pet-friendly cottage boasts WiFi and a library, making it an ideal retreat for book lovers looking to unwind in a welcoming setting.

With the added bonus of an annexe, Laundry Cottage offers versatile accommodation options for families, friends, or couples seeking a relaxing escape in the heart of Devon. As you step inside Laundry Cottage, you will be greeted by five beautifully appointed bedrooms across the main building and annexe.

The main building features a luxurious king-size bedroom, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, as well as a stylish bathroom complete with a bath, hand-held shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC.

For added convenience, downstairs there is also a cloakroom with basin and WC, ensuring all guests have ample facilities during their stay. The heart of the cottage is the spacious kitchen/diner, where you can gather with loved ones to enjoy delicious meals and good conversation.

In the evening, relax in the inviting sitting room by the warmth of the wood-burning stove, or escape into the captivating world of literature in the charming library, which also features a wood-burning stove.

The annexe offers further accommodation options, with a double bedroom, two twin bedrooms, and a single bedroom.

In the annexe there are two bathrooms, one with a bath and shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC; the other with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

The annexe also features its own kitchen, providing a self-contained space for larger groups or families. Outside, the rear walled garden is the perfect place to enjoy the soft North Devon air, and there is a wooden seat on the lawn for outdoor refreshments or reading.

The larger lawn area outside the kitchen door offers a peaceful retreat, ideal for soaking up the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

The cottage is located about 10 minutes walk from the coastal path where there are stunning walks along the cliffs between Clovelly, Mouthmill, Shipload Bay, Hartland Point and beyond. The cottage is located a stone's throw from the coastal path and there are stunning cliff walks within ten minutes of the front door.

You can also walk straight from the cottage to the picturesque village of Clovelly in less than half an hour, winding your way through Clovelly Court gardens and woods, with wonderful views of Bideford Bay.

Discover the history of one of the 'most instagrammable' villages in the UK; walk down the steep cobbled streets and have a drink right on the quay at the Red Lion Hotel.

In the other direction (west), you can go to Brownsham woods (National Trust) in less than two hours; or drive to Hartland Point, Hartland Quay or Spekes Mill Mouth and explore the dramatic coastline of the Hartland peninsula.

Great pubs and cafes in Hartland (one of the filming locations for the BBC series 'The Night Manager'); in 20 minutes you can drive to Bideford for Victoria Park and Burton art gallery, cycling the Tarka Trail, good shopping on Mill Street (recommend the Appledore Bakery), as well as Bideford Railway Heritage Centre - and you can also explore local town Appledore for family activities like crabbing, or a visit to the Maritime Museum.

Drive a little further to enjoy some beautiful gardens at Tapeley Park, RHS Rosemoor and Marwood Hill Gardens.

Finally, nearby Woolsery has a local shop (also Hartland) for all your top up groceries (8mins drive), a fish and chip takeaway and a wonderful pub and restaurant using locally grown produce to cook truly delicious and exciting food at The Farmer's Arms.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.

Where you’ll be staying

CLOVELLY

Bucks Cross 4 miles; Bideford 8 miles; Barnstaple 20.4 miles

The picturesque fishing village of Clovelly occupies a secluded, cliffside position and attracts visitors from the world over. A pedestrianised, cobbled street winds its way down the hillside passing the colourful gardens that characterise the village's pretty, whitewashed cottages, on its way down to the sheltered harbour. Local shops, pubs and restaurants crowd the working harbour from where the local fishermen show their daily catch of mackerel and check their lobster pots. Follow the stunning coast over the clifftops toward the romantic Hartland Point, or to the colourful market town of Bideford, with its quaint quay, medieval bridge and vibrant shopping area. Nearby, the famous Westward Ho! provides superb beaches and excellent watersports opportunities, while the Big Sheep Adventure Park will occupy the whole family! A beautiful and inspirational location for a memorable holiday.
