Smithy Cottage

2-Bedroom Coastal Cottage Near Ilfracombe. Sleeps 4

Located within the glorious North Devon countryside in the pretty village of West Down just outside Ilfracombe, Lower Aylescott Farm is home to six well-equipped family-friendly holiday cottages.

The pretty two-bedroom Smithy Cottage is the ideal family retreat with on-site communal facilities, including two well-stocked fishing lakes and a children's play area.

This North Devon holiday cottage has been refurbished and renovated to a good standard throughout. A cosy living room with stylish duck egg blue sofas, a flat-screen TV with Freeview and a DVD player. A fold-out table is in the lounge and seats up to four guests.

Off the lounge is a modern kitchen with everything you will need to enjoy a self-catering holiday, including a fridge with a freezer compartment, a dishwasher, a washing machine and an electric oven with a hob.

Upstairs at the cottage are two double and twin bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. These share the family bathroom, which has been recently renovated and features a bath with a shower overhead, a WC and a wash basin.

Outside the cottage is a communal courtyard where each property has its own table with chairs and parasols. There are over four and a half acres of communal grounds that guests are welcome at Lower Aylescott. A large field is home to a new children's play area with a rope bridge, a tube slide and a climbing wall. This area is secured by fencing and with gated access to the lakes.

Guests can use the two private fishing lakes at Lower Aylescott. These are only fished by guests and are well-stocked with carp, bream, rudd and tench. Even a Ghost Carp was recently spotted (June 2019). The carp are typically 3-5lbs, long, lean, healthy fish that aren't overfed. Please remember to bring your license, rod and bait.

Lower Aylescott is ideally located for self-catering holidays exploring North Devon and beyond. With its glorious beaches, including Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton, the coast is less than 10 minutes away, whilst Exmoor National Park is within a 30-minute drive.

There are numerous nearby attractions for the family, such as The Big Sheep, Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park. Take a day trip to Lundy Island from Ilfracombe, or explore the superb beaches in North Devon – enough for a different beach every day for a fortnight.
