    “Lovely little cottage and lovely hosts close by too.”

    Really enjoyed our stay overall! Good location to beaches and shops only a 10/20 minute drive. Only two things to note the driveway is very narrow and a bit of a squeeze! If you have a bigger car not sure you’d make it on and off comfortably as it is a bit tight but doable! Also I think could do with an outdoor shower perhaps or a small outside washing facility for people coming with a dog. There isn’t anywhere to wash him down after the beach when arriving back- is a bit difficult with ...

    Really enjoyed our stay overall! Good location to beaches and shops only a 10/20 minute drive. Only two things to note the driveway is very narrow and a bit of a squeeze! If you have a bigger car not sure you’d make it on and off comfortably as it is a bit tight but doable! Also I think could do with an outdoor shower perhaps or a small outside washing facility for people coming with a dog. There isn’t anywhere to wash him down after the beach when arriving back- is a bit difficult with the wet dog smell after a beach trip in the sea and left over sand! Especially as dogs aren’t allowed upstairs, not that they would fit in the shower anyway though to be honest! Overall we did enjoy our stay and would recommend if you are wanting to stay in the area

The property

In the tiny farming hamlet of Ashford, less than a mile from Aveton Gifford and on a tributary of the River Avon, a pretty cottage converted from a small barn next to the owners house.

Own private gravelled parking area with space for canoes or kayaks and, behind the cottage, a raised south-facing terrace (table/chairs), yours to enjoy.

Inside, light and tastefully decorated in neutral tones with stripped floorboards.

Two steps up to door straight into living/dining room (TV/DVD).

Neat kitchen (microwave, fridge, electric cooker) and, from the kitchen, steps up to two bedrooms - a double (5' bed), and a bunk room (3' beds).

Smart shower-room (suite).

Spring water.

Professional catering and ready meals available.

A welcoming spot in this lovely area for couples or a small family.

Aveton Gifford: old village (pub, PO/shop) beside the River Avon where it becomes tidal.

Within 5 or 6 miles are several villages (Bigbury, Bantham, Thurlestone) on an excellent and varied stretch of coast: sandy beaches, coves, cliffs, golf courses, the Avon estuary (fishing, birds), pretty thatched-cottage village centres.
