Description from owner

Description

Little Woodacott is a cosy woodland self-contained, non-smoking, one bedroom cottage, sleeping two people, set in our 10 acres of Bugford Wood an historic and peaceful oak forest in East Down, near Barnstaple, North Devon. Guest will find plenty of interest should they decide to explore the woods.

Bugford Wood has a network of forest paths zig-zagging among oak, beech, ash, birch, hazel and a variety of conifers, including redwoods, with the river Yeo as its eastern boundary. There is abundant bird life with the occasional roe or even red deer. Public footpaths are nearby.

Arlington Court, a National Trust property set in extensive grounds is close by.

Getting around

A car is essential to visit the beaches. The Tarka Line from Barnstaple station goes along the scenic Taw valley to Exeter stopping at interesting places along the way. From Exeter St Davids, with London and Penzance connections, the line continues from Exeter Central to the seaside town of Exmouth. There is regular bus service from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe and Bideford.

Interaction with guest

If you prefer you can self-check in. There are instructions and a keysafe in the sentry box by the carpark. The woodland path to LIttle Woodacott is clearly marked. If you arrive when dark an automatic sensor light comes on over the carpark, there is a light inside the sentry box. You will be given the combination for the keysafe before you arrive. There is a TOUCH switch inside the sentrybox which you press if dark to light up the woodland path. There is another TOUCH switch inside the front porch to be used when leaving the cottage if dark. Alternatively we are happy to meet and welcome you on arrival.

“A Perfect Woodland Retreat”

Reviewed 4 Oct 2023

Tucked away down a narrow country lane, hidden by trees this property was perfect. Harley and Mary made me feel most welcome. The location is a 20mins drive to the best beaches along the North Devon/ Somerset coast. I stayed for 3 nights - my only regret was my stay wasn’t for longer!
