The property
Welcome to this charming tranquil getaway, wing of a 16th Century Grade II Listed former Manor House set in a delightful ¾ acre picturesque Victorian style garden, with flowering shrubs, bushes and fruit trees through meandering pathways and arbours for you to indulge. Blackbird Cottage is a well-presented, rustic holiday home located in a calm and friendly neighbourhood by the lovely market town of Northam in Devon. Situated so close to the coast and surrounded by several nature reserves, this cottage is an ideal base for families, friends and a furry companion seeking relaxing beach days and hikes with stunning scenery. Step into your home away from home to find a pleasant sitting room where you’ll curl up on the sofa to watch your favourite shows and movies. Move into the kitchen/diner, full equipped with everything you need to cook up your favourite meals and make use of the stunning woodland gardens for some alfresco dining in the sun, bird watching and reading your favourite book in the hammock. When the day ends, unwind with a soak in the bath and retreat under the freshly-washed sheets of the double and twin beds. Venture out to explore the town of Northam, that's only a 10 minute walk!, and you’ll find the Kingsley Inn for some delicious pub grub, walk over to Westward Ho and have some brunch at the beachside A Slice Of Life Café, let the food settle by lounging on the sand at Westward Ho Beach and then head to Northam Burrows Country Park with its stunning landscape and grassy planes and marches.
The Royal George Restaurant and Johns Café at Appledore is just 20 mins walk on the costal path from the Northam Burrows . On a sunny day, it’s wonderful to have a drink with fish and chip in Instow watching the sunset! In the wonderful historic town of Bideford, nature-lovers and hikers can head to Kenwith Valley Nature Reserve for a peaceful walk and a picnic by the lake, if you’re travelling with children head over to the animal-themed family theme park The BIG Sheep and if you want to find out more about the town’s local history and enjoy some tea in an old train car, make your way to Bideford Railway Heritage Centre.
