This very unspoilt locality is a quiet backwater famed for its unspoilt landscape and spectacular coastline much of which is now under National Trust stewardship. The small village of Welcombe has a popular Inn The Old Smithy, Pottery and Community Shop with Post Office facilities. The A39 is only about 3 miles and provides good access to the towns of Bideford, Bude, and Barnstaple. It leads to the North Devon link road with its M5 connection near Tiverton. About half a mile up the road from the cottage you can access the coastal footpath with its amazing seascapes/cliffside walks.
