Monkleigh Coachman's Cottage is a charming self-catering accommodation located in Bideford, Devon, in the South West of England. Situated in a cobbled courtyard within the grounds of Monkleigh village's old rectory, this cottage is steeped in history, with parts dating back over 400 years. Despite its name, it is believed to have been the original bakehouse for the main house, with the original bread oven still intact next to the wood-burning stove. The cottage is set in a peaceful location on the outskirts of Monkleigh village, within walking distance of the village inn, The Bell, which offers great food. Guests have access to extensive gardens, including a wildlife garden with a pond, providing a serene setting to relax and connect with nature.
The living area of the cottage features a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere for two guests. The open-plan layout includes a kitchen and dining area with exposed beams, giving it a rustic charm. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable, with an antique double bed, dressing table, and ample storage space in the built-in wardrobe. The bathroom is adjacent to the bedroom and includes a full-size bath with a hand-held shower attachment, as well as modern amenities like a heated towel rail and electric shaver point.
Guests can explore approximately 3 acres of gardens, fields, and grounds surrounding the cottage, including a walled garden and fields. The pond is a striking feature, but it is unfenced, so caution is advised, especially for young children. Additional amenities such as a high chair, internet access, and logs for the wood burner can be added to the booking for a fee. The cottage is equipped with essential appliances, including a TV with Freeview, DVD player, oven, hob, fridge with icebox, and microwave. Private courtyard parking is available for one car, and a cream tea is provided for guests upon arrival.
