Corner Cottage

Barnstaple sits on the edge of North Devon's coast, and Corner Cottage puts you within walking distance of the beach and the local pubs. This two-bedroom property sleeps up to five, with a kingsize bed in one room, a double and a single pull-out in the other, and a bathroom with bath and shower. The ground floor holds a living and dining space with a smart TV, plus a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—gas cooker, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine all there.

Front and rear enclosed gardens give you outdoor space to sit with a drink or let a pet run around; one animal stays free. The essentials are sorted: wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels included. A step into the rear garden is worth noting if mobility is a consideration. The town offers pubs within a mile, and the beach itself is close enough for regular visits, especially if you time an evening walk to catch the sunset.
