Syncroft Farm Cottage

Syncroft Farm Cottage suits groups and families wanting genuine character without sacrificing comfort. This Grade II listed building dates back to the 1300s, its cob and stone walls studded with exposed oak timbers and inglenook fireplaces, yet the interior has been arranged for straightforward modern living. The cottage sits among open farmland in the quiet village of Petrockstow, far enough from the road to feel genuinely rural.

The layout encourages people to gather. A living room with fireplace and TV anchors one end; a separate dining area gives space for proper meals. The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and a washing machine handles the practicalities of a week away. Four bedrooms upstairs—a super king-size, two doubles (one with en-suite), and a twin—sleep up to eight, with a family bathroom serving the rest. The enclosed garden offers outdoor furniture, a private pond on the grounds, and enough space for barbecues or breakfast outside. Dogs are welcome, and the fenced perimeter suits younger children too. Wifi and parking on site are included; you'll need to bring an appetite for exploring—Westward Ho! beach, Castle Drogo, and Bideford (with boat trips to Lundy Island) are all within reach. No smoking throughout the property.
