This delightful barn conversion property enjoys a quiet rural location, within walking distance of the pretty village of Weare Giffard, where visitors will find the welcoming village pub and children’s playground.

Roughly five miles north of the village, the seaside town of Westward Ho! offers a fantastic two-mile wide sandy beach which is ideal for families and is also popular with surfers. Other places of interest within a short drive of the property include Northam Burrows Country Park, the fishing village of Clovelly, and the harbour town of Bideford.

The stylish kitchen has everything that guests will need to make themselves at home, including an oven, hob, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine and tumble dryer.

The second bedroom is a relaxing twin room, with 2’6” twin beds (which can be made up as king-size on request, prior to arrival). The property’s bathroom has a bath with handheld shower and WC.

Netherdowns Shippon is a lovely holiday property setting in a wonderfully tranquil, picturesque part of Devon. The property is a little tricky to find first time but we appreciated the lovely country setting but still only 10-15 mins from the town of Bideford which had a great selection of cafes, supermarkets and is itself a nice place to spend timRead moree. The house was very accessible for my wife navigated it using a mix of crutches and her wheel chair. It is finished to a really high standard. Hide

This is a great place if you want a peaceful holiday. Watch the river fill and empty each day and see and listen to the sheep and lambs in the field. We have been four times and will book for next year too.

Very tranquil with views over farmland down to the river. The location is handy for striking out to the not too far towns and coast. Surprisingly quiet for a working farm too.

This cottage is perfect for 2 couples to share. It is very comfortable and well equipped. The view is wonderful and the bifold doors open onto the patio so they can be enjoyed. The property is an excellent location for using the Tarka trail directly from the property. We enjoyed not having to use the cars each day.
