A beautiful, 300 year old thatch, Speedwell Cottage is bursting with charm and character – there are exposed beams throughout (beware of some low ones upstairs), and don’t expect the original cob walls to be smooth and straight! The cottage has its own private parking space and dedicated EV charge point&nbsp;and there’s plenty more parking available all around the village, including a free village car park just 2 minutes walk away.&nbsp; There's an enclosed south-facing sunny garden with a Weber gas BBQ and a large table and 8 chairs, so there’s plenty of space to eat in comfort, or just enjoy a drink in the sun. There’s also an outside tap and washing line to hose-down and hang wetsuits after surfing.&nbsp;
At the end of the garden is the Cabin, a wooden summerhouse with a 6 seat corner sofa, TV (Netflix, Amazon Prime etc), a DVD player and it's own fast Wifi network, and a large desk for work for anyone who needs to work whilst away. &nbsp;
The brand new (2022) and well-equipped kitchen has seating for 8 people, and the cosy sitting room has a large wood-burning stove, a new smart TV, fast Wifi and plenty of board games, cards and puzzles for quieter moments. A perfect holiday home for families, you’ll find thoughtful additions such as a travel cot, highchair, plastic plates/bowls/cups for small children, a non-slip baby/toddler bath mat, a stairgate and a coolbag and ice blocks for picnics on the beach.&nbsp;
Accommodation:&nbsp;
Ground floor: The back door leads straight into the kitchen from the parking area. The kitchen has Silestone quartz worktops, a new electric fan oven and induction hob, table and seating for 8, Nespresso coffee machine, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and new double-door fridge-freezer. Another door from the kitchen leads to the porch with a wellie boot rack, then into the garden. The sitting room has two sofas and an armchair, French doors to the garden and a wood-burning stove. Beyond the sitting room is the downstairs bedroom, with two single beds. Also on the ground floor is a walk-in, fully tiled wet room with shower, basin and loo, making the cottage accessible for guests who’d rather not climb stairs.
First floor: The stairs lead from the sitting room up to the light and spacious landing off which is the master bedroom with a superking-sized bed (6’wide), wardrobe and chest of drawers (hairdryer provided). The family bathroom has a double-ended roll-top bath, heated towel rail, basin and loo. Along the corridor there are two more bedrooms, one has a 4’6” double bed, a wardrobe and a wall-mounted TV and the other has full-size bunk beds and a chest of drawers. At the end of the corridor is a separate loo with washbasin. All the bedrooms are south-facing and overlook the sunny garden. All the beds have supersoft anti-allergy duvets from The White Company, and the bedlinen and bath towels are provided.&nbsp;

Speedwell Cottage

Beautiful place. Immaculate when arrived, communication was spot on and was well informed about everything before arrival. Lovely location. Would highly recommend.

Lovely location

A lovely, well equipped cottage with a great garden. We had a wonderful stay with our extended family. Perfect for young children and a pretty village with two good pubs and a village shop nearby. A holiday to remember. Lucilla , the host was very helpful. I

Stayed at Speedwell cottage for 6 days and had such a peaceful, relaxed time. Very cosy with a good secure garden for a dog. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms comfy, we had everything we needed to make this stay memorable. Upstairs were beautiful period timber beams, we got used to ducking beneath. Lucilla made good contact with us and instructions were very clear.

Peaceful cottage

We stayed at the cottage in March as a three generation family. The unit in the garden / office was great to facilitate a remote working holiday and space to work peaceful. The village and surroundings are beautiful but close to many of North Devon's attractions. Despite being March, we had great weather to enjoy the beaches and coastal paths. As others have mentioned, the village itself has two standout pubs, a village shop and a milk vending machine to go to collect fresh milk and cheese!

The house was modern, clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed and more. Previous guests have left some great recommendations too of things to do in the area. 

We stayed at three separate properties on our trip and this was our favorite by far, and we would love to return.

Lovely luxurious holiday home close to beautiful beaches

Speedwell Cottage is a lovely thatched cottage with modern amenities in the heart of one of our favourite UK villages. Two great pubs, some nice walks and great surfing beaches nearby. The house is pleasantly decorated, equipped and maintaind. The kitchen well equipped with everything you need for family meals and there is a cabin if the youngsters need a place to hang out. We had a lovely time and would stay again but there are a couple of things to be mindful of: Steps into the kitchen and steep stairs were a bit of a challenge for my 80+ FIL but he managed them fine with a little assistance; anyone over 6' will likely spend the first day learning to duck and limbo around some of the quaint old beams and low door frames - but honestly that's part of the charm of quirky old cottages. We loved the place and will be back.

Speedwell is a delightful place to stay for a family break
