Strawberry Water

5323 is no longer with us

If you were looking for cottages like Strawberry Water, how about trying these:

Nestled in the glorious coastal Welcombe valley on the north Devon heritage coastline and newly available, you will delight at discovering newly launched Strawberry Water, located a short, flat walk away from the rugged and dramatic beach at Welcombe Mouth where visitors enjoy miles and miles of glorious coast paths throughout the year, a true escape where you and your family or friends can enjoy the perfect holiday.

Thoughtfully furnished to offer a warm and inviting welcome, Strawberry Water combines two fabulous properties, Strawberry Water House (5321) and Strawberry Water Cottage (5322), these neighbouring dwellings adjoin one other and can be booked separately at certain times of the year. However, when both properties are booked together, you will have the entire place to yourselves in complete privacy.

Enter Strawberry Water through the front door of Strawberry Water House and step over the threshold, passing through the entrance porch and downstairs WC and into the open plan living/kitchen dining area. Here we think you will be wowed by the stunning interiors and the glorious feel of open plan living that gives space to relax and come together as a family creating those holiday memories.

The sitting-area, complete with plump comfy sofas and log-burner, is perfect for those chillier nights whilst watching a movie on the Smart TV. The traditional handcrafted kitchen has a rustic charm, fully equipped for the keenest cook and perfect for creating those family feasts. For coffee lovers the owners have provided that all-important coffee machine and of course if you don't fancy washing up, there is a dishwasher. You have the option of two dining-areas, one being perfect for breakfast and the other for a more formal setting or the perfect family board game option.

Climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find four unique bedrooms, all with luxury linens for a great night's sleep. Bedroom one being a twin, furnished with gorgeous antique furniture and an outlook to the front of the house and the valley that leads down to the beach. Bedroom two benefits from an en suite shower-room and has a feature bedstead adding to the lovely country rustic charm, again benefitting from wonderful views to the front of the house and beyond. Across the landing you will discover the fun and cleverly configured double bunk-bedroom where all four beds are hand-crafted, three-foot wide beds being perfect for both young and old.

A talking point of the house will be the family bathroom thanks to the Victorian shower/bath that sits proudly in the centre of the room - this really is a one of a kind and will not be forgotten! Lastly but by no means least you will discover the rather chic bedroom four that would not look out of place in a swish hotel. This double-aspect room is flooded with light which makes the room feel rather special. A luxury roll-top bath sits at one end of the room and the beautiful French antique king-sized bed overlooks the stream and gardens.

Heading outside the front doors to each dwelling are next door to each other so you can enjoy time together or retreat for some peace and quiet in your own space if needed.

Adjoining Strawberry Water Cottage has been sympathetically restored and styled for your comfort throughout. It has its own cosy sitting-room with two comfy sofas to relax on, a Smart TV and a warming wood-burner for those cooler days and evenings, making this the ideal year-round destination. The well-equipped kitchen, with that all-important slimline dishwasher, looks out to the rear of the cottage over expansive gardens. This lovely kitchen has been lovingly crafted to fit the original character walls and to complement the fabulous, reclaimed flagstone floors, adding charm to this cute cottage hideaway. The bright conservatory offers dining with the most perfect view of the garden and surrounding valley to the rear of the cottage, along with your own dedicated patio.

Step outside where you will have full use of the gardens which are totally private for you all to enjoy!. This rather spectacular garden offers the perfect spot to relax and enjoy simply looking up at the endless skies above whilst listening to the bird song and chatter. The garden has been landscaped creating a lower al fresco dining patio-area with a barbecue and outdoor prep area with lots of seating and tables. In addition there is a raised grassed area, perfect for playing and running off some steam; this is where the two houses link with the conservatory of Strawberry Water Cottage opening up onto one of the raised patios. These really arethe perfect garden and grounds for a family to come together but one that each house can enjoy separately should the Grandparents require their own space when away with the family.
