Philham Water Cottage - Romantic character cottage in North Devon
If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy quality time together then we think Philham Water Cottage in North Devon may well be the perfect choice. Delightfully situated in its own tranquil valley and just two miles from the coast this cosy hideaway is ideal for a romantic break or holiday. This part of North Devon has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is heaven for those who love walking, since the South West Coastal Path is nearby with a multitude of woods, valleys and beaches to choose from.
The cottage which dates back to Elizabethan times has lost none of its character and charm but has been updated for your comfort and convenience. Expect low ceilings and doorways, flagstone flooring, thick walls and uneven pathways. The cottage has wifi, though please note that there is no phone and no mobile phone signal in this valley.
Accommodation
Equipped to accommodate a couple or two individuals in total comfort, the bedroom upstairs has a double bed, and the living room downstairs has a sofa that converts into another bed. The wood-burning stove set into the large open fireplace makes this room snug and cosy. Wifi, TV and DVD player (with a small selection of DVDs) provide options for rainy days. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower. The cottage has its own water supply and eco septic system.
Most well-behaved dogs will be welcome, but the owner requests that you contact her in advance, if you wish to bring one.
