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 4-6 in two bedrooms (& 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.
