The Orangery

The Orangery occupies a wing of a Victorian house on the edge of Bideford, reached via a sweeping drive into a quiet setting. Ground floor opens into a living and dining room with French doors leading to a private courtyard, where a hot tub sits alongside garden furniture and sun loungers. The kitchen, two steps up from the main space, has an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher and washing machine. A sofa bed in the living room sleeps two, while upstairs there are two further bedrooms: one with a double bed, the other with two singles that zip together. One bathroom serves the property, with a walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Parking is available for two cars.

Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are provided. The property suits families and groups of four, and one well-behaved dog is welcome. Bideford town centre, with its shops, restaurants and pubs, lies a ten-minute walk away. North Devon's beaches and countryside are close by, and several local beaches permit dogs. The courtyard garden has four steps leading down to it.
