About a quarter of a mile inland from the beach, this row of three cottages is hidden away in the beautiful secluded woods of the Peppercombe valley. The cottages were traditionally built out of cob in the late eighteenth century, to house the officers of what was then called the Preventive Service - tasked with policing this wild stretch of coast to prevent smuggling - and later evolved into the life-saving Coastguard Service. Wonderfully snug and picturesque, these cottages make ideal bases from which to explore this fascinating and little known coast, and their location makes them perfect for nature lovers, birdwatchers and anyone with a hankering after a remote and lovely spot. Clovelly is around three miles away, and the more remote Hartland Point, romantic, rugged and isolated, is a little further to the west. The delightful and lively old port of Bideford on the River Torridge, with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants, is just four miles to the east.

Ground Floor: kitchen/dining room, sitting room with multi-fuel stove, bathroom with shower over bath, single bedroom. First Floor: two bedrooms (1 double with 5' bed, 1 single).
