The bedrooms consist of a second-floor super-king-size, a third-floor double and a third-floor twin with family bathroom, plus a second-floor bathroom. Outside there is a private front patio with furniture, communal, enclosed dog paddock and off-road parking for two cars. Within 4 miles, you will find a shop and within 3 miles, a pub and please note that two well-behaved pets are welcome (first dog is free of charge, with a £25 charge for the second dog) but sorry, no smoking. WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the price. A travel cot and highchair are also available. Fern Cottage is a charming escape for your next retreat in Devon. Note: There are three steps up to the entrance of the property.
Amenities: Oil central heating. Electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine. Smart TV, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Travel cot and highchair available on request. Off-road parking for 2 cars. Private front patio with furniture.

Note: There are three steps up to the entrance of the property. Note: The property is accessed via a flight of stairs and may not be suitable for guests with lower mobility
Region: Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?
Town: The picturesque village of West Down is ideally situated amidst the wooded valleys of the beautiful North Devonshire countryside, 5 miles from Ilfracombe. The village is home to a lovely Norman church, a CAMRA recommended 14th Century pub serving real ales and fine wines and a local shop, whilst the surrounding countryside offers many great walking and cycling opportunities. The surfer's paradise of Woolacombe, with its long sandy beach is just 4 miles away and only 5 miles to the North is the coastal resort of Ilfracombe, with its pubs, clubs and great visitor attractions. The enchanting Exmoor National Park, with its rolling hills, wooded valleys, wild deer and pretty villages like Combe Martin, Lynmouth and Simonsbath enchants all who visit, whilst the wildlife and remote natural beauty leading from the high moor down to the sea attracts visitors from far and wide. With Barnstaple also just a short drive away, this fantastic location has plenty to offer all year round!
