Nr. Bideford, Devon

2

Peppercombe Coastguard Cottage 3 is a comfortable one-bedroom cottage located in Nr. Bideford, Devon, in the picturesque South West of England. Built in the late 18th century, this traditional cob cottage is part of a row of similar structures that originally served as housing for officers of the Preventive Service, an early form of the Coastguard Service aimed at combating smuggling. The cottage has been lovingly restored to preserve its historical character, featuring low beamed ceilings, an ancient oak floor in the bedroom, and a large fireplace that adds to its romantic ambiance.

The cottage is set in a serene environment, accessed via a bumpy track through a wooded valley, providing guests with a tranquil retreat. Outside, a small garden table offers a perfect spot for enjoying alfresco meals while listening to the gentle sounds of a nearby stream. The surrounding natural beauty enhances the cottage's charm, making it an ideal getaway for couples seeking peace and quiet.

Just a short walk away lies the beach at Peppercombe, where visitors can enjoy a sandy expanse at low tide, explore the rocky foreshore, and admire the stunning backdrop of red cliffs. This coastal area provides opportunities for relaxation and exploration, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Devon coastline.

For those looking to venture further, the historic village of Clovelly is only three miles away. Known for its steep, cobbled streets that lead down to a tiny harbor, Clovelly offers a unique experience with its quaint shops and scenic views. Additionally, the South West Coast Path nearby presents excellent walking opportunities along the rugged Hartland Point, making it a perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts.
