Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bedroom 2: Bunk (3ft) Beds
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Front garden with barbecue, garden furniture & hot tub. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Welcome to Alscott Cottage, a stunning retreat in the peaceful hamlet of Alverdiscott, just five miles south of the ancient town of Barnstaple.
Thoughtfully refurbished, with Danish influences, this sanctuary offers breathtaking views stretching across rolling countryside to the dramatic landscapes of Exmoor National Park and the glistening ocean on the horizon. Inside, the décor embraces minimalist elegance with bursts of colour and carefully curated artwork.
The spacious living area, bathed in natural light from impressive five-metre picture windows, features a solid oak dining table, stylish click-clack seating, and a seamless flow into the well-equipped kitchen, complete with a central island and bar stools. A downstairs bathroom adds convenience and style, with a shower. The private carport comes with a games area and a seaside-themed hot tub, inviting you to unwind beneath the skies, whatever the weather. Enjoy a morning coffee or a sundowner and an evening dip, this space is designed for relaxation. Upstairs, luxurious deep carpet leads to three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The first is a dreamlike retreat, with exposed wooden beams framing a 20-mile view, the sea shimmering in the distance. A kingsized bed and elegant period furniture enhance the timeless charm. The second bedroom offers adult-sized bunk beds with personal reading lights, while the master bathroom, adorned with striking porcelain tiles, boasts Bluetooth speakers for a modern touch. Beyond the annexe, a charming country pub awaits just a mile away, serving delicious local fayre.
A short drive brings you to Instow Beach, where golden sands stretch wide, perfect for coastal strolls and four-legged companions. The renowned surf spots of Woolacombe and Saunton beckon for adventure, while North Devon’s treasures—from Exmoor’s Dark Sky Reserve to the historic harbours of Ilfracombe and Clovelly—invite exploration. The Tarka Trail, accessible from Barnstaple, winds through some of Devon’s most picturesque countryside and river scenery, perfect for walking or cycling.
