North Devon
View on Google MapsPhoto: JackPlays243
Woolacombe and Saunton beaches are a short drive away, and Instow—where families can swim or walk the shoreline—is nearer still. Barnstaple itself has shops and restaurants within reach. The Mole is a semi-detached cottage on the grounds of a coarse fishing venue; two well-stocked lakes come free with your stay, though you needn't fish to enjoy the 14-acre landscaped grounds and their sitting areas.
Two bedrooms sleep four: upstairs, a pair of single beds; downstairs, a kingsize with an ensuite shower room. The ground floor also contains the main bathroom, an open-plan living and dining space with a television, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—electric cooker, dishwasher, and the basics for a week's self-catering. Your own enclosed garden has a patio, furniture and a barbecue. Wifi, bed linen, towels and a portion of heating and electricity are included; there is parking for two cars on site. The property is not suitable for smoking.
Pets stay free, and a travel cot and highchair are available if needed. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.

Our family of four are just about to finish our weeks stay. We've been to Devon and Cornwall a few times over the years for holidays, and I can hand on heart say this is the best we've had. The fishing is brilliant if you're coming for that (not to mention lakes to yourself when the day tickets start and finish 7-7) but I want to say the owners are super lovely, accomodating and friendly. The cottage we stayed in was perfect and all you can need, even with a private garden and a huge back garden for the kids to play. The surroundings for evening walks are lovely (wish we had brought the dog!). So much to do within half hour of driving. Croyde bay, westward ho, tarka trail, combe Martin, Ilfracombe. The list goes on. Great local pubs too. The biggest positive was the price. Seriously, they could charge another 20% and it would be worth it. We spoke to people fishing on the lake who spent 3x as much locally (albeit on the beach and modern apartment) and they couldn't believe what we paid. Such value for money and free fishing included which meant my teenage son loved his 6am starts each day! We will be back and thank you so much for having us.

Beautiful surroundings and great fishing. The cottages are really homely and well equipped for a good holiday. Dog friendly and lovely to walk around the lakes with your dog.

Just returned from our second stay at Riverton lakes. Last time we stayed in Mole cottage and this time in the Lodge. Absolutely love staying here. It's quite and peaceful but near enough to local amenities . The cottages are very well equipped and very clean. My husband loves the fishing in the beautiful and well kept lakes while I enjoy exploring the local area.Jackie the owner is lovely and very friendly. Will be back next year.
