There is a traditional inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove at the heart of this lovely quirky historic house.
The kitchen/dining-room has a large range cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a utility-room and the back door to the garden.
This is the master bedroom on the first floor. The room looks out to the front of the cottage.
Stone steps lead up from the back door to a large private garden at the back of the cottage. The garden can be a little uneven underfoot owing to the age of the property, please take care.
At the heart of the village, yet very peaceful. This 16th Century cottage is full of character.
This is the coastal view just over one mile up the lane from the cottage! There is a car park, hotel and seasonal cafe right on the South West Coastal Path.
There is a lovely farmhouse dining table with plenty of space for all eight guests at The Bear.
The range cooker is an added bonus for cooking family meals.
The Bear is a very welcoming cottage, full of interesting features from its former life as the village pub!
The sitting-room is very spacious, just a couple of steps down from the hallway.
There is a snug off the hallway too - an ideal hideaway for children to spread out their toys or play games.
There is a shower in the downstairs bathroom and a bath upstairs.
A footpath from the top of the village takes you straight to the coastal path and a hidden bay.
The master bedroom has an en suite WC and a separate little en suite shower too.
The other double bedroom is on the ground floor. There is a shower-room across the hallway.

A beautiful cosy cottage which served as a great base for our walking holiday. Thank you

The Bear is ideally situated with access to lovely walks and dramatic coastal scenery. There are so many things to do without having to travel too far out of the area. Certainly a favourite place to come back to and explore even more.
Mrs Leyfield December 2019
Warm, comfortable and quirky. Ideal cottage for families.
Mr Wilcox May 2019
The wonderful local scenery and walks to Hartland Quay were a real bonus. This part of Devon should be visited and the Bear provides excellent access to picturesque coastal walks nearby.
