Barnstaple sits on the edge of North Devon's coast, a working market town with independent shops, restaurants and the River Taw flowing through it. North Hill Cottages – Holly is a self-contained two-bedroom property on an 8-acre site shared with other holiday lets, where guests have access to a heated indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis court and a children's play area. The cottage itself is compact: downstairs has a bedroom with a king bed and another with bunks, plus a bathroom with bath and shower. Upstairs is an open-plan living space – sitting room with a woodburner and smart TV, dining and kitchen area combined – where you can cook proper meals using an electric oven and hob, with dishwasher and fridge to help.
The essentials are covered: electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels come with your stay. Outside, a back garden has seating and furniture. One car can park on the drive. The property takes four people and welcomes one dog. After exploring Barnstaple's shops and riverside walks, or heading to nearby beaches, the hot tub is a genuine draw on cooler evenings. The shared lawns give space to move around, and the indoor pool (10m by 2m, with a jacuzzi section) means swimming whatever the weather. There's also a games room and a children's snug among the shared facilities. The site suits families wanting something between total independence and an all-in resort – your own kitchen and living space, but communal spaces and activities if you want them.

What guests say
We stayed here over Easter with a family of 4. Wonderful location for exploring North Devon and stunning views from the accommodation. The cottage was lovely and cosy with the log burner and had recently been refurbished. The kids loved having access to the pool and hot tub and Rich and Sabrina were great hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed. They even put on an Easter egg hunt for all the kids staying there in the Sunday. Will definitely be going back! Thank you!

The most idyllic location! The cottages are beautifully kept, wonderfully equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfy, with the most fabulous views across the valley and sheep as your neighbours. No light pollution so the stars are phenomenal and all you can hear are the birds. It's a wonderful place to unwind, recharge and enjoy being surrounded by countryside. But only minutes away from the town. Sabrina and Rich couldn't have been more helpful and compassionate when we had to stay in very devastating circumstances.

Had a lovely long peaceful weekend here, lovely views over the fields in all directions. Pool is really nice and has a small sauna and hot tub next to it too, and the rooms/cottages are really nice. We stayed in Ivy a 1 bedroom with front room and bathroom, full kitchen and TV so all you could want for a peaceful break. Acces is narrow for the last 1/2 a mile so don't bring a large vehicle.
