These Goonhavern cottages promise a warm welcome from the owner next door who offers a Land Rover taxi service to drop you off and collect you at the start and finish of a coastal walk, or a day trip to either Land’s End or The Lizard. There is a plentiful stock of games and beach equipment for the use of guests on site, including croquet, boules, body boards, beach games and windbreaks. Each of these Goonhavern cottages has been finished to a good standard, with well-equipped kitchens, comfy living areas and attractive bedrooms.

Situated in the delightful Devon village of Chittlehamholt are these four fabulous North Devon cottages. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard of the picturesque 16th century Exeter Inn, three of these Devon cottages sit just a few yards from the Inn, whilst the fourth is a wing of the Inn with its own private entrance. Each of these Devon cottages contains all the modern conveniences that you would expect from a high quality holiday home with the added benefit of a choice of two restaurants at the Exeter Inn. These Devon cottages are ideally located between the Taw and Mole valleys, known locally as “Tarka the Otter” country, named after the classic novel by Henry Williamson. The Tarka Trail is within easy reach of these Devon holiday Waterbridge Lodge cottages, providing over 30 miles of traffic free cycling or walking through largely unspoilt countryside. There are a large number of golf courses near to these Devon cottages and the cottage owners can help organise golfing breaks, which can be tailored to your requirements. Just along the road near from these Devon cottages is the Highbullen Golf & Country Club, which offers a range of sporting activities and a beauty spa. There are beautiful landscapes and seascapes to explore from these Devon cottages; from the wildness of Dartmoor to the soft hills of Exmoor, which roll gently towards the dramatic North Devon coastline, which boasts pretty villages including Clovelly, Appledore, Lynton and Lynmouth.

Dorset South West

A unique opportunity to stay in two Grade II listed cottages, situated in what must be one of the most peaceful and stunning locations on Dorset’s rugged Jurassic Coast at Portland Bill. Situated right beside the sympatheti- cally restored 18th century Old Higher Lighthouse, once the home of Dr Marie Stopes and visited by George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells and Thomas Hardy, these Portland Bill cottages have been comfortably furnished throughout to offer visitors a home-from-home holiday experience. Together, these Portland Bill holiday cot- tages can accommodate up to eight people in comfort, where you have shared use of the seasonal outdoor heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi. These Portland Bill cottages offer superb opportunities for walking and bird watching as well as climbing and diving, or why not just simply relax in the lighthouse and take in the sensa- tional sea views or unwind beside the swimming pool? A short stroll from these Portland Bill cottages takes you to The Bill itself, craggy rocks jutting out into the sea dominated by the current lighthouse. The Bill’s friendly cafe and local pub provide good food and refreshments should you wish to take time out whilst exploring the dramatic coast. The owner of these Portland Bill cottages can offer Reflexology, Spiritual and Crystal Healing, plus Emotional Freedom Technique on site by arrangement, making these Portland Bill cottages a holiday experience you’ll never forget!
