About the property
Welcome to Bydown Cottage, a beautifully appointed four-bedroom holiday cottage set in the peaceful village of Swimbridge, near Barnstaple, in the heart of North Devon.
Bydown Cottage enjoys an excellent central location, making it an ideal base for exploring both Devon’s countryside and its celebrated coastline. Guests can enjoy easy day trips to some of North Devon’s most popular beaches, including Croyde, Woolacombe, Saunton Sands and Westward Ho!, while returning each evening to the tranquillity of a traditional rural village setting.
The surrounding area offers a wealth of opportunities for exploration. Discover the dramatic landscapes of Exmoor National Park, with its rolling moorland, wooded valleys and scenic walking routes, or venture further south to explore the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park, famous for its tors, open moorland and picturesque villages. Closer to home, Barnstaple offers independent shops, welcoming cafés and historic architecture, making it a pleasant destination for a day out.
Inside, the cottage offers a warm and welcoming retreat, thoughtfully designed with rustic character and comfort in mind. The owners have invested considerable care and attention to detail to create a relaxed and inviting space, ideal for families or groups looking to unwind and enjoy special time together.
Well-behaved pets are more than welcome at Bydown Cottage, allowing the whole family to enjoy a holiday together.
The property benefits from ample private parking, ensuring a smooth and stress-free arrival. Guests can also enjoy excellent on-site facilities, including a well-equipped gym and extensive outdoor space. The large lawned grounds provide plenty of room for outdoor activities, with a badminton court, table tennis and several peaceful areas perfect for picnics or simply enjoying the surrounding Devon countryside.
