About this cottage rental

No WiFi service at the moment. Reviewers say that the best thing about our cottage is that it is a real home from home as well as being perfectly located for a short stroll to town along the picturesque Bideford Estuary. The cottage is fully equipped with lots to keep children entertained & is comfortably furnished. It is practical for dogs too, with hard flooring laid throughout the spacious downstairs. There is a little courtyard which is a complete sun trap. The driveway has space for one car & there is plenty more free street parking nearby if needed.

There are many pubs, restaurants & shops within an easy level walk from the cottage, with some of these delightful venues overlooking the estuary.

The cottage sleeps 4 in two bedrooms (6 when using a sofa bed in the dining room). There is also a travel cot & high chair available. The cottage has a welcoming log burner in the spacious lounge which is well equipped with toys & board games as well as a SmartTV, DVD player & Wii console.

Riverbank Cottage dates from the 1890's & is a stone built terraced cottage in a row of former Estuary workers' cottages. Its position is unique in that this quaint cottage is only a 10 minute walk along the Estuary from the centre of Bideford & yet it is situated in a very quiet no through road set away from the hustle & bustle of the town..

There is a separate dining room with a dining table that seats 4 - 6. The dining room features an attractive stone fireplace; there is a double sofa bed available for extra guests (please note bedding / towels are not supplied for the sofa bed or travel cot).

The kitchen is equipped with washer dryer, microwave, electric oven & gas hob. Items supplied for your stay include a coffee plunger, tea towels, washing up liquid & cloths etc. The kitchen opens out into a little court yard with a patio table & chairs; there is a barbecue available for guest use too.

Upstairs is a master bedroom with a king size bed & an extra TV. The second bedroom has two single beds which can be made up as a king size bed if required. The bathroom is spacious with a bath & power shower over the bath. The cottage is warm & comfortable with gas central heating, constant hot water by way of a combi boiler plus the gorgeous log burner.

We supply all bedding & towels for the two bedrooms.

Outdoor games such as cricket, badminton & racquet games are supplied for guests' use. There is a beautiful park (Victoria Park) with a lido for young children which is only minutes away on foot towards the town centre. Or you can walk or hire bikes to go along the nearby Tarka Trail. Only 2 miles away is the lovely little sandy beach at Instow. There are also surf boards & 3 body boards at the cottage that guests are welcome to use if they want to go to the great water sports beach at Westward Ho! which is only a five minute drive away, or both Saunton Sands & Croyde are nearby.

Such a lovely cottage it was very cosy and the perfect location where we were able to visit family, and take our four legged family with us. It had all the comforts of home, and we can't wait to return in the near future .

We were on a golfing holiday with friends who had booked a b&b for the duration of their stay. Renting an entire property was a much better alternative, as we were able to relax and watch tv from a comfortable settee after a rain swept round. Dry and securely store our clubs. The accommodation was a home from home and only a £1.50 bus ride from where our friends were staying in Westward Ho!

The cottage is in a good location with easy access to the main roads, a short walk into Bideford and close to a large supermarket. The kitchen is well equipped with the expected conveniences. The living room and dining room are spacious enough for 4 adults. Two good bedrooms and a large bathroom with a good shower are up steepish, narrow stairs. The house is in a row of terraced houses and surrounded by a more modern development of homes. Given the narrow roads and on street parking, any car larger than a compact size may experience difficulty in maneuvering. Parking at/around the house is somewhat problematic especially if there are other cars already present. There is parking in the adjacent roads. There were some general items left in the house but it would be advisable to make sure basic items such as condiments and paper products are brought with you. No logs were left for the wood burning fire and as there is no control of when the heating comes on it can lead to some chilly mornings and evenings!
