There is such a stylish but cosy interior at this cottage, with the bonus of a wood-burning stove for out-of-season holidays here.

The galley-style kitchen is extremely well-equipped and leads through into the main living-area.
The pretty garden is fully enclosed with views to enjoy.
Walk out the front door and on to the beach or follow the coast path.

Perfect cosy cottage in a fabulous location, ideal for access direct onto the Tarka trail or Instow beach and South West coast path. So many options for walking the dog, locals all extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely well equipped cottage in great location for beach or walking holidays. Easy walk to the village centre which has several excellent places to enjoy a drink or meal overlooking the beach. Most places are dog friendly. This is our second stay at Sea Cottage and we plan to return next year....
