Tidewood

Tidewood is an extremely well appointed property with superb vistas across the Devon countryside to the coast.

Our stay was memorable partly due to the attention to detail and cleanliness of this property. No detail appeared to be overlooked. Extremely cosy and spacious, with a good sized garden. Easy access on foot or by vehicle to the coastal path and local beach at Welcombe. Its also quite handy to have the Old Smithy pub in the village. Quintessentially the English pub of yester year, serving good food. Hopefully we will stay again soon.

Perfect.

The accommodation was immaculate, sofa’s & bed were comfortable (we only used the superking). The kitchen was well equipped and maintained- it had everything we needed. Was nicely surprised there was a Tassimo machine with pods and were welcomed with home made scones, some cream and jam. Will definitely be staying again.

Warm comfortable property with good sized garden.

It's in a quiet part of North Devon so ideal for a relaxing holiday.

A lovely property, well furnished and thoughtfully equipped with everything that you need for your stay.

Being located close to the Cornish border it means you can spend your days enjoying the best that both counties offer , beautiful coastlines and interesting towns and villages before coming back to relax in comfort and watch the amazing sunsets across the view.

We had the best time.

Clean smart beautiful (yet functional) house. The view across the hills to the distant sea, the pub next door, steep 30min walk to the sea, easy 20min drive to a series of beach options. Perfect. thank you

Beautiful property in spectacular countryside.

Facilities could not be bettered - was hard to leave and come home!

Tidewood was well presented property in a beautiful location.

The kitchen and living areas were first class. The property commands a great panoramic view down to the sea with amazing sunsets. The garden was excellent for our little dog. The little village of Welcombe is an escape from reality. The walk down to Welcombe Mouth and across to nearby coves is well worth it. For those who like to avoid the touristy areas, this is a surprise alternative. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay at Tidewood.

The cottage is perfectly situated with the coastal path a short walk away and good amenities within a few miles. The house was very well equipped and warm and we really appreciated the huge pile of logs supplied. The local pub (Smithy Inn) was cosy and welcoming and do good food.

Lovely house, well equipped and all general cleaning material / cling film, foil etc supplied.

Good strong Wi-Fi and plenty of off road parking

Second time visiting!

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.

It was an excellent place to stay with plenty of facilities, lots of space, good size rooms and a safe garden for the dog.

Great views, close the sea resorts and a great local pub. What else would you want to chill out on holiday

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped.

Clean and tidy with a few lovely unexpected extras from Elizabeth, thank you. Ideally suited to a large family with their fury friends in wonderful Devon.

Wonderful holiday in a beautiful house spotlessly clean views amazing location spot on and a great pub two minutes walk away and fantastic walks down to the beach the owners should be ready proud of this lovely house.

What a wonderful home to stay in.

The view was beautiful and the bungalow was fantastic. Very well equipped and comfortable and extremely clean. The welcome scones were delicious. Would love to return

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.

Absolutely fantastic, very well equipped, great location with glorious views and garden.

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!

Love this property!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tidewood, lovely property, great garden (our dogs loved it too).

Really well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and fantastic lounge/dining area making the most of the beautiful views. The local pub was nice, limited menu but good food. We would definitely go back.

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.

Great house and location

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

This is a lovely home.

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.

Lovely house in a most gorgeous location .

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!

Amazing place: house was very well equipped, beds were super comfortable and Christmas tree was a nice surprise.

We had amazing time and our Christmas was very special. Thank you very much! Taru and Paul

Fantastic house in a wonderful location.

Great walks to the beach. Didn't want to leave. Will hopefully come back.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting.

Great place to unwind and relax whilst taking in the views.

Property was beautiful had everything we could want or need!

Setting beautiful watched loads of gorgeous sunsets. The garden was lovely and our eldest granddaughter loved it as did the dogs. Pub close by with great food.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tidewood.

So spacious, in a tranquil setting, with comfortable beds. An amazing view by day and great for star-gazing at night. Everything to make a holiday what it should be. We didn’t want to leave.

A lovely property which was very well presented and spotlessly clean.

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.

Couldn’t have ask for more , The property was perfect we had relaxing holiday So thankyou so much From Stuart,Elaine ,and Jess the dog

A very beautiful and comfortable home, everything you need need there.

Would definitely recommend it to others and definitely go there again.

Absolutely fabulous home, fantastic views, well appointed and great communication with the owner.

We hope to return

Bigger wooden chopping board

We had a great time just staring out of the window, very relaxing week!

Another great stay at Tidewood, this time a winter visit.

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.

What a gorgeous property and so well apppointed.

Our family enjoyed such a wonderful Christmas at Tidewood. It was so clean and comfortable and felt just like a home from home. they was nothing in the kitchen that hadn't been thought of and provided. Elizabeth left us some beautiful scones, jam and clotted cream on arrival. There was even a towel for the dog in case you forgot to bring one. we can honestly say that we didn't want to leave and would love to return again in the future. Shelley, Martin, Joe, Maggie, David and Tilly (the dog)

Beautiful property.

Excellently equipped and furnished. Had everything we needed. Lovely location. Could have stayed forever. Owners were lovely too. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house Immaculate Comfortable Perfect family holiday retreat away from the crowds Will 100% return Thank you Tidewood have a lovely winter and see you next summer

Fantastic location, superb condition and facilities.

Very clear instructions and a very responsive owner for minor queries.

A fantastic property in a wonderful location with (distant) sea views.

Very spacious and well equipped with loads of storage space and a lovely, quiet garden. Very helpful and friendly owner. Problem with the oil fired boiler but immersion heater worked fine as a back up.

Beautiful holiday home in the most idyllic location - we had a lovely week.

Extremely well presented and spacious property with excellent facilities inside and out.

Very dog friendly with extra little touches like an outside hose with warm water. Everything was perfect. Great communication with the owner. We spend two weeks every year in lovely cottages in different locations around the UK and this was the best so far. Highly recommended

The cottage the remoteness, view from decking peace and quite all fab

Beautiful house in a stunning location.

Lovely views of the sea on clear days, breathtaking sunsets and plenty of room for the kids to run about in the garden. The house is spacious and well equipped, with very helpful owners. The pub down the road was a wonderful bonus!

A very tranquil place to unwind.

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.

Great location in between highlights of Bude and Woolacombe, really quiet location too.

The accommodation is very comfortable and convenient for all your needs. Found some hidden gems nearby like Sandymouth Beach. Look forward to staying again soon.

Gorgeous property in a calm and beautiful location.

Lovely walk down to the beach and coastal paths and an easy drive to Bude beaches.

I would highly recommend this property.

It was a lovely house, with everything you could need for your holiday. The scones, jame and clotted cream on arrival were a welcome and lovely touch. Its well placed to visit lots of Devon and Cornwall villages, that's if you can tear yourself away from the panorama just beyond the big windows!

Tidewood is a stunning cottage with fabulous views of the countryside, and at certain angles, of the sea too.

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.

A beautifully presented holiday home where we found everything we needed and more.

We loved the location with lovely walks on the doorstep and a fabulous deck to relax, enjoy the the views and watch the sun go down. Thoughtful touches such as drink making facilities (we love a decent coffee) and a Devonshire cream tea on arrival, were very much appreciated.
