Oak

Oak suits families and groups looking for space without the hassle of a larger house. The two bedrooms hold zip-and-link beds that convert to singles if needed, and there's a sofa bed in the living room for extra guests. One bathroom serves everyone. The kitchen has an electric cooker, dishwasher, and coffee machine—enough to cook proper meals rather than rely on takeaways. Electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are included; a travel cot and highchair are available if you ask ahead.

Outside, you share access to a heated swimming pool, a private hot tub (suitable for children aged 12 and up), and a large deck overlooking the nature reserve with a barbecue for evening meals. The grounds have space for walking. You get private parking for three cars. The setting is within a mile of Bideford Quay, with the water and local amenities close by. No smoking indoors. There are steps around the grounds.
