Gorgeous 3 bed cottage in Mortehoe with fantastic roof terrace seaviews!
Surrounded by the beautiful National Trust coast, with amazing views of the sea looking out to Baggy Point, Old Bakery Cottage is in a superb location for making the most of North Devon’s amazing coastline. This characterful yet spacious cottage is in the heart Mortehoe village and provides a fantastic base both for local beaches and for walkers with the Southwest Coast path just yards away.
The award-winning beaches of Woolacombe Bay (Times Beach of the Year 2021 and consistently noted in the top UK beaches list) are within walking distance or short hop by car. A 10-minute walk from the cottage across Morte Point takes you to Grunta Beach, a great alternative for rock pooling and sheltered bathing. The South West Coastal path allows you to head down to Morte Point to watch a resident colony of seals or towards Bull Point Lighthouse to Rockham Beach and beyond to Lee Bay The property itself is full of character making the most of its position and the available views with a spacious and light first floor open plan living area with a lounge and dining area and a terrace looking out to the sea. The kitchen is at one end of the space upstairs with cooker, new fridge/freezer, microwave, slim-line dishwasher, toaster, Air Fryer, kettle etc. The large living/dining room has a gas-flame effect fire, 2 leather sofas, dining table and chairs, wall mounted Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker/docking station with USB charger.

Mortehoe is a charming village set up on the cliffs above Morte Point and Woolacombe. It features in the Doomsday book, and its lovely church goes back to Norman times. It has two great pubs serving locally produced food, a Fish & Chips shop, a tearoom, a Post Office, a village store, a bistro, a 13th century church, a gift shop and the local Mortehoe Museum. There is also an under 11’s play area in the village. These are all a short stroll away from the Cottage.

Bed linen & one bath/one hand towel per person provided -please bring beach towels. There is a travel cot and highchair if required. One well behaved dog is welcome. House rules explained on booking.

Lovely stay in the heart of Mortehoe
Hidden down little side alley opposite the Chichester Arms is this charming apartment. Even a little House Martin nesting in the porch. Nicely decorated with lovely little arts and crafts around the place. We had a great stay with fantastic views to sit and ponder, while d3ciding which walk to do.

Lovely well equipped property with sea view
Property was delightful, situated near the village pub and shop post office and chip shop there was also a lovely bistro. The beach was within walking distance but was downhill! The coastal path was also accessible.

Great central location in Mortehoe
Great location in center of Mortehoe tucked down a side street opposite the pub The Chichester Arms.
Woolacombe about a 5 min drive down steep narrow road that can get busy. You can walk over the hill would take about 30 mins.
Parking can be pre booked with North Devon council is a must as no parking at property.
Property itself spotless and perfect for 6 of us 4 adults and 2 kids. Great location for pubs and takeaways. 👍

The view from the balcony makes this home a perfect location. The sea view and the fields around you are spectacular. The home is fully equipped with all you need to self cater. Comfy beds and lovely showers. Ticks all the boxes for me!

Perfect stay
Old Bakery was a perfect cottage in a perfect location for a great week in Woolacombe. From booking through to arrival we received all the information we needed to ensure a smooth rental in these difficult times. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, the views are glorious and the space is comfortable with plenty of room for six people.

Holiday at Mortehoe
Excellent location but due to COVID everything seems to close on Mondays. Local takeaway was brilliant but only open Thurs Fri Sat as Miss Feas restaurant where we had a lovely meal. Upstairs of the property was stunning lovely views and very spacious. My only criticism was the chairs at the table were very uncomfortable and not good for backs. Lovely hot showers and good heating. Would recommend this lovely holiday home.

We loved the cottage and the village it was located in. We walked down to Woolacombe beach most days
The cottage is amazing. A beautiful new kitchen and smart new flooring in the kitchen/lounge/diner made it bright and airy. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and everything we needed was supplied. I particularly like the “upside down” layout with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the lounge on the first floor giving views of the sea and surrounding hills. It was so easy wheeling our suitcases straight into the bedrooms instead of struggling with them upstairs. Everything was very cleverly thought out. Would definitely make a return visit.

Fehlinformation
Es gibt keinen PKW - Stellplatz vor oder an dem Haus. Das Be- und Entladen ist schwierig. Einzige Parkmöglichkeit ist ein ca. 200 m entfernter kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz (20 Pfund / Woche). Das Geld haben wir allerdings vom Hauseigentümer erhalten.
