Please note: This property has a natural water supply from a borehole and there are 3 fishing lakes in the garden and grounds, 150 yards away.. In the grounds of the owners’ very well-presented and maintained fishing venue, these three holiday properties (refs 29794, 30788 and 31308) are well-equipped to ensure a restful holiday. Kingfisher is a detached, single-storey cottage, sleeping six guests, The Lodge is set over two floors and sleeps four guests, and Mole is semi-detached and also sleeps four guests. The cottages have their own enclosed, lawned garden with sitting-out area and views across the beautiful grounds. There are two well-stocked coarse fishing lakes at Riverton which are included in the price of your stay, as well as a third beautiful lake (members only).
If you are not fishing, there is still plenty to do in this lovely part of Devon. Located just outside the regional town of Barnstaple, the cottages are in an ideal location to explore this stunning part of the British Isles. A few miles away, you have access to some of the best beaches in the country including Woolacombe and Saunton. The nearest beach at Instow is ideal for children or just a great place to walk off life’s stresses, and then enjoy a meal or drink at one of the pubs and restaurants along the front. The town of Barnstaple is only a short drive away and has most amenities you may require as well as a busy high street and market. There are numerous places of interest close by including the RHS gardens at Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal and the historic fishing village of Clovelly. For the younger ones, a visit to the Big Sheep or Milkyway is a good option. There is walking on Dartmoor or hire a bike and cycle the Tarka Trail. Clay pigeon shooting can be organised by prior arrangement with the owner. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Lovely clean modern accommodation. Could benefit from better WiFi and maybe bigger beds in the 2nd bedroom as 2ft 6 beds are small for an adult. The owners were lovely and obviously work hard keeping the grounds and properties well maintained.

From start to finish this was just what we needed. From the minute we pulled up we relaxed . We were greeted by the most wonderful owner who showed us were we were staying . Nothing was to much trouble . The cottage was spotlessly clean . And spacious.
The fishing lakes were great I caught my biggest fish ever .
A holiday we truly did not want to end .

We had an excellent time at Mole cottage, it is a lovely rural area and the cottage itself was ideal
We had an excellent time at Mole cottage, it is a lovely rural area and the cottage itself was ideal for my wife, two kids and myself (and the dog).
Everything you need is available in the cottage from cooking equipment to internet access, the owners are very friendly and easily reachable if you have any problems/ questions.
The cottage is located in an ideal place with fairly short drives to all the beaches and towns/ attractions in this area of North Devon.
Many thanks for a great stay, we hope to come again in the future.
