About this property
Located in the centre of Bideford in the spectacular county of Devon, 6 Milton Place is a charming, terraced cottage. The property welcomes a family of six to stay in a well-equipped, spacious cottage whilst exploring the stunning coast. Find roadside parking on a first-come, first-served basis on the residential street lined with uniquely coloured cottages. Make yourself at home by leaving your shoes in the porch and stepping inside the sitting room; the woodburning stove will warm you up after a day by the sea, along with a TV and cushioned sofas to while the evening away with your loved ones. Head to the contemporary kitchen with black marble countertops to prepare beach picnics and home-cooked meals, utilising the electric oven and hob, microwave and American-style fridge/freezer. For your convenience, a handy dishwasher and washing machine make keeping your space clean a breeze! Dine in the neighbouring dining room, whilst you savour a family dinner and catch up on the day's events. Why not enjoy a change of scenery and dine alfresco style? 6 Milton Place has a pretty, rear garden for your dog and little ones to play along the lawn, picnic in the sunshine, or for you to close the day with a cold glass of wine on the decking. Younger guests will also relish the external games room to keep them entertained on rainy days! Climb the stairs with care to wash away the sand in the bathroom, whether that's a soak in the tub or a refreshing rinse in the walk-in shower, before retreating to one of three bedrooms. The king-size, double and single with trundle under are beautifully-appointed with storage and homely furnishings. Start your day with a wander around Bideford for plenty of shops, eateries and attractions to choose from, including the Art Gallery and Museum, and the Railway Heritage Centre. Pack your towels and bathing suits and head to Westward Ho! for its famed stretch of sandy beach and coastline treks along the Abbotsham Cliffs. The little ones will love a day at The BIG Sheep for family-friendly rides, activities and animal-themed amusements. Appledore and Instow are two delightful villages well-worth a visit for classic seaside attractions, whilst the harbour village of Clovelly is a perfect stop off when venturing along the cascading cliffs of Hartland Devon Heritage Coast. Fisherman's Cottages, Blackchurch Rock and Hartland Point Lighthouse are just some of the incredible sights to see on your adventure.

As with most places in Devon parking is a problem so you'll have to put your car in the local long stay car park which is only a short walk away. Forget on street parking - the locals have that sewn up. House was lovely and comfortable and clean. Bideford is a great place to be based, enabling easy access to the local amazing beaches!.

There was milk in the fridge and a nice box of biscuits waiting for us. It was a pleasure to use the very well equipped kitchen,which we made use of a lot,due to the fact that we did not have good weather during our stay. The garden was a bonus for my dog,safe and enclosed. I loved all the little handmade" seaside" ornaments and various pictures around the property. Parking was an issue close to the property,but we were able to find spaces each day in nearby streets,which saved on paying parking fees for the near by car park. I found the stairs very challenging,and would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues or young children. A hand rail placed on the left side wall on leaving the bathroom i feel would be of benefit. I suggest a chair to be put in the double bedroom for somewhere to place your clothes at night,due to the room having no wardrobe or hanging space. A good base to visit Devon's coastline.

This property is exactly how it is described the stairs are steep. Parking in the street is near on impossible ( you can pull up outside and unload/load) and there is a car park 5 minutes walk away that you can pay £22 for the week so not a problem. The information provided was minimal, for example there were no instructions on how to use things and although there was a chart for the rubbish and recycling there was no info about what could be recycled. Several lights didn't work but there was no book to write anything in. The owners did not reply to my email questions despite the initial introductory email saying I was welcome to email them. However we had a wonderful stay and would stay again. Bideford is a good base to see North Devon from beaches to moors.
