    Amazing views and lovely accommodation. The owners never let us down even if the weather does. No complaints. The dogs loved the large garden. A well worth stay for anyone holidaying in that part of the country. Will come again soon.

  • "We had a very relaxing stay at Tidewood."

    The owners have made a lovely holiday home with everything you could want including a delicious cream tea on arrival. The house is well placed for visiting North Devon's attractions and there are several lovely beaches within a 5 to 20 minutes drive, although you need to check tide times so you can enjoy the sandy beaches. The views and sunsets from the property are gorgeous.

  • "Really well thought out property with everything we needed, very warm, lots of space and seating, generous supply of logs and lots of hot water."

    The weather was fairly wild but we stayed snug and played games. More coat hooks and a shoe rack would be good, as the hallway got very congested. The single beds were not very comfortable but maybe they were bought with children in mind, not adults. The biggest problem for us being a party of 6 adults, was the rubbish collection situation. It’s not much fun on holiday having to go to the local tip, as you’ve too much rubbish for the allotted collection amount!

    Stayed 4 years in a row. Brilliant location, well equipped & comfortable house with secure garden for our dog. Highly recommend. The host is really helpful and always leaves a couple of delicious scones to welcome us.

  • "Property was really lovely."

    Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. It was warm even during heavy frosts and having the ability to increase the temperature if needed was a bonus. Couldn’t fault the property at all. The only reason for 3 stars were the roadworks, which marred our stay due to the long diversion down narrow roads, but these are only temporary and under normal circumstances wouldn’t have been there. Great walk down to Welcombe Mouth which has interesting rock formations. Property views are super. It really is a beautiful area.

  • "Tidewood is a beautiful place to share with family and friends."

    The wraparound floor to ceiling windows give amazing views across the countryside and to the sea beyond. We loved watching the sunsets from the deck. The beds are very comfortable and having 2 walk in showers was useful for those in our group with limited mobility, likewise having the living areas and bedrooms on one floor. It was lovely having a wood burning stove. We also enjoyed the garden and watching the birds and butterflies. The kitchen was very well stocked with ample pots and pans, large fridge, freezer and a great coffee machine. Although we didn’t have one, it is very dog friendly with lots of walks on the doorstep. It was also easy to explore many of the local beaches and towns by car. We also enjoyed having a great pub with very good food within walking distance. Thank you to Elizabeth and Steve for all the hard work and thought they clearly put in to make Tidewood a wonderful home for a holiday.

  • "A really beautiful house in a lovely quiet location but within easy reach of both Devon and Cornwall."

    The house was immaculate when we arrived with a lovely plate of fresh scones with jam and cream - such a lovely touch. Bedrooms were spacious with ample wardrobe space. The kitchen area with adjoining sitting area was great and was where we spent most of our evenings after being out all day. The kitchen has everything including an air fryer ! Grounds/ gardens were spacious ans great for our dogs to run around - they loved it. There is a pub just a 2 min walk away - the old smithy inn which was lovely - great food if not a little on the expensive side but worth it we thought. Would highly recommend this house

    Thank you very much for the lovely comments, I am glad to hear your stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I would just like to correct one point for future guests, we don’t have an air fryer at the property. Unless it was meant to say air dryer! Elizabeth Property Owner

    Spotless on arrival, breathtaking views from the decking. Very close proximity but not encroaching to the Old Smithy pub which served excellent food. Very handy extra of having a warm water hose outside to hose off any sandy feet or, as we did, for the dogs. Would definitely stay again.

    Superb facilities with everything you may need . One point I would recommend… Elizabeth should consider installing EV charging … it is an inconvenience to have to rely on public charging. (one that I was happy to take at this quiet time of year) it would also be an opportunity to increase revenue!

    The scones on arrival were a nice touch too. What ever the weather we felt very connected to the countryside around us with all the windows, hours were passed simply watching the barley crop behind us sway in the breeze and the shapes of the occasional cloud, and at night the stars shone bright and we gazed in awe at the milky way. Magical.

    The property still warm and cozy even in winter, especially when using the log burner, which was a great treat to sit by when having dinner. The only disappointment we had is when it was time to leave. I can’t express enough how conveniently located this property to all the Cornwall & Devon attractions, and yet remains quietly tucked away in a village off the main roads. Look forward to booking up again soon.

    Tideswood for us was perfect light and airy with fantastic views, couldnt wish for more. Well appointed and a good size for larger families. fantastic garden for the pooch to run around. Coast walks on hand about a mile away, but explore the beautiful woods again so close. Please note which is not negative feedback, the wifi is slow not the owners choice I would think as the setting is rural. also be prepared for bigger families the fridge is not the largest.

    The garden is big and great for the children to run around in and play. We had a mix of weather so the rainy day games and jigsaws were a great addition. The cottage is 1.5 miles from a beach, which we did walk to. The views from it were stunning, but it isn't a sandy beach, so not one for the children to play on. There are several other local beaches though, so that was covered. Thank you for a great holiday.

The property

This fabulous dwelling rests in the hamlet of Welcombe, 1 ½ miles from Welcombe Mouth.

Enjoying a rural location with far-reaching views of the sea, this property is ideal for families looking for a quiet getaway to this unspoilt part of Devon.

The focal point of the property is the impressive kitchen/diner, designed with surrounding glass panels which provide picturesque views of the surrounding countryside all the way down to the sea, offering a wonderful place to prepare and enjoy your meals.

The addition of a woodburning stove is sure to be used during the colder periods.

Look forward to unwinding in the sitting room, hosting a comfortable sofa and a large TV to satisfy your entertainment requirements.

There are three bedrooms at this Welcombe cottage, including a super-king-size double, king-size double and a twin, all of which have been tastefully furnished to provide comfortable sleeping spots.

Completing the interior is the family bathroom with a choice of a bath and a walk-in shower, along with another shower room for added convenience.

Head outside and delight in the spacious garden with a cold drink in hand – a lovely opportunity to take in the gorgeous scenery and coastal views.

Walkers will be delighted to know that the coastal path runs close to the property and gives you splendid views from cliff tops and a range of birds to spot.

If surfing is your passion then you must visit Welcombe Mouth to catch some good waves, or Bude’s sandy beach isn’t too far either.

A fantastic base for unwinding or exploring the beauty of Devon.

About the location

WELCOMBE

Bude 12 miles; Bideford 14 miles.

A pretty country village just one mile from the high cliffs, rocky coves and golden sands of the north Devon/Cornwall coast, as well as the beach at Welcombe Mouth with its sand, rocks, and some fabulous waves to ride. West, along the coast, are excellent beaches at Widemouth Bay, Sandymouth and Bude. To the north the coast path winds its way toward Hartland Point Lighthouse and on to Clovelly (8 miles) with its steep cobbled streets leading down to the harbour and pub below. No cars allowed here but you can hire a donkey for the ride! In the nearby area are several farm and theme parks, golf courses and outstanding gardens whilst the amenities of Bude are a mere 12 miles away. Everything for an enjoyable holiday.
