View on Google MapsPhoto: North Hill Cottages
North Hill Cottages - Orchard sits on the edge of Barnstaple, where eight acres of communal grounds and fields separate you from the town's shops and attractions without isolating you from either. The cottage itself is entirely yours, sleeping four across two bedrooms – a kingsize and a bunk room – with one bathroom and an open-plan ground floor that brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together. A wood burner warms the main room, and the kitchen is properly equipped for cooking real meals rather than making do.
The grounds are where families tend to settle in. A shared heated swimming pool, sauna and hot tub are available to guests, along with a children's playground, games room and all-weather tennis court. Your own back garden has seating and furniture for quieter moments. One dog is welcome. Essentials including electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered in the price. The setting balances easy access to Barnstaple town centre with countryside space to explore on foot or let children burn energy outdoors.

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.

What a fantastic tranquil setting. We stayed in. Harvest cottage along with our cat which was fantastic we were able to take him his favourite spot looking out the window. The property was very clean and welcoming a nice touch with the logs for the 🔥 We didnt get chance to use the facilities as we're down for a wedding. We woukd definitely come back and cant recommend north hill cottages highly enough. Thankyou Sabrina and family for having us see you again
