Holiday cottage in Barnstaple, Devon - Sleeps 4 (FCH94038)

Make unforgettable memories with your loved ones in this funky, two-storey home sitting in the heart of the charming village of Bishops Tawton. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is an excellent option for small families or groups of friends who want to discover the spectacular coastline of Devon together.

During the day, spend happy hours browsing the stalls at Barnstaple Pannier Market; and in the evening, come home and enjoy a tranquil al fresco dinner on the cottage's wonderful balcony while you soak up the stunning views across the Taw Valley. This light and bright cottage boasts a clever upside-down layout to ensure that you can make the very most of its beautiful location.

Head upstairs and take a moment to relax in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area - it's a wonderfully light and bright space and the styling is refreshingly retro - before heading to the sleek kitchen to cook up some dinner for your loved ones. Get everyone together to eat at the minimalist-style dining table, or open the French doors and step out onto the balcony to enjoy a fabulous al fresco dinner.

Afterwards, head back to the lounge to warm your toes by the wood burner while you sip a glass of your favourite wine. At the end of the day, head downstairs and you'll find two equally beautiful bedrooms: one king-size room with an en-suite shower room, and one twin room (which can be converted into a super-king-size upon request), also with an en-suite shower room.

In the morning, wake up and take a stroll around the peaceful, enclosed garden. Embark on a scenic journey with your loved ones along the Tarka Trail (3.5 miles) - a 180-mile-long path named after the famous otter in Henry Williamson's novel. Alternatively, lose yourself in the enchanting beauty of Marwood Hill Gardens (6.

5 miles). Wander along winding pathways adorned with vibrant blooms and you'll stumble upon tranquil lakes and cascading waterfalls.
