Ivory Cottage

Ivory Cottage suits families and small groups looking for a base near the North Devon coast. The two-bedroom layout—a double and a room with bunk beds—works well for children, and one well-behaved dog stays free. The whole property is yours alone, set within a quiet holiday village with grounds to explore, a children's play area, and a heated outdoor pool open May to September.

Ground floor has an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space where you can cook proper meals using the oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs, the bathroom includes a bath and shower. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; travel cots and highchairs are available if you ask. The South West Coast Path is accessible from the estate, and Woolacombe Beach—known for surfing and three miles of sand—is nearby with lifeguards in summer. The grounds contain ponds, so this matters if you have very small children. No smoking inside.
