The Old Chapel
The Old Chapel is a very well-presented and maintained cottage that forms part of a former chapel and is perfectly located for all the attractions and stunning scenery that North Devon has to offer. It’s just 200 yards or so away from the beach, which is popular with surfers as well as sunbathers.
The property is an upside-down style cottage and offers an allocated parking space which is a big plus for the village. The cottage comprises on the ground floor two bedrooms; a double with a TV and a twin, plus a bathroom with bath and shower over, all accessed directly from the entrance hall. On the first floor is an airy open plan living space with a lovely vaulted ceiling, contemporary furniture and a TV, and the kitchen is prepared with everything you may need to rustle up a homely meal. Outside is a very small, raised seating area with a bistro table which is access by the path that leads around the property and is perfect for an evening summer’s drink.
Westward Ho! offers an array of seaside amenities including some fascinating curiosity shops and a good range of restaurants and cafés, many of which are regularly visited by locals for their quality fayre. The beaches are a main attraction of this area for many, and the South West Coast Path also runs through the village. This is a must for keen runners and walkers! Swimming, surfing, canoeing, entertainment for all the family and fishing are all close by too. If golf is your thing, then you should visit the Royal North Devon Club which was founded in 1864 and is the oldest golf course in England!
The popular Tarka Trail can be accessed approximately 3 miles away providing the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line by foot or by cycle allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and scenery while discovering the towns of Barnstaple and Bideford where you can wander during the weekly pannier markets, with a host of local produce, quality cafes and crafts on offer. On your Tarka Trail journey be sure to visit the café for a tasty bite to eat and then the estuary-side village of Instow – a must see! One place not to forget to visit is the world-famous village of Clovelly with its steep pedestrianised cobbled main street, traditional architecture, donkeys and views over the Bristol Channel. Be sure not to forget to visit Exmoor National Park too, with its magical night skies in Europe’s first ’Dark Sky Reserve’ and for a day with a difference take a trip across to Lundy Island, home to England’s first statutory Marine Nature Reserve due to its unique flora and fauna. Measuring just 3 miles by ¾ mile, this entire island has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Beach 200 yards. Pub and restaurant 110 yards.
