About Prospect Place

Hugging the rising Weare Gifford valley hillside and surrounded by far-reaching views of the North Devon countryside, get a taste of traditional rural village living at the rustic cottage bursting with original features, just moments from the picturesque sandy beaches lining the North Devon and Cornwall coastlines. Offering glorious views, an exposed brick fireplace and a farmhouse-style aesthetic, experience true peace and tranquillity as soon as you enter the cottage.

For a moment of calm, hunker down in the cosy snug room opposite and catch up on a good book.

Answer the call of bedtime upstairs where you’ll find three bedrooms that each feature a charming, peaceful atmosphere as well as wonderful views of the countryside scenery. Indulge in the superb views across the valley and catch some unforgettable sunsets by dining alfresco on the front patio or by roasting marshmallows on the fire pit tucked away on the hilly rear lawn.

Alternatively, take in some stargazing whilst relaxing in the hot tub. Set on the banks of the River Torridge, the village of Weare Giffard offers everything you’d expect to find in a peaceful rural village; far-reaching countryside views, a beautiful church and a manor house.

From countryside to coast, just 9 miles north you’ll reach Westward Ho!, offering 2 miles of golden sand, a unique pebble ridge, perfect surfing conditions and direct access to the idyllic South West Coast Path. Keen walkers and cyclists can also join up with the traffic-free Tarka Trail (a former railway line) from the riverport town of Bideford (6 miles) and explore its maze of quaint streets filled with independent shops, cafes and pubs.

Prospect Place Reviews

Emma
We had a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners really put effort into making sure everything was perfect - from the welcome treats and fresh milk to the heaps of games for the kids and thoughtful touches for our dog. The location was spot on, close to stunning beaches and scenic walks, plus a nice pub nearby. They were super helpful if we needed anythingand the WiFi worked perfectly. Overall, a great place for a relaxed break. Thanks again!

We loved staying at Prospect Place! The cottage had everything we needed and was super cosy, especially with the open fire. Being a bit remote was just perfect for us. Comfortable beds made it even better. Can't wait to come back!
Sarah
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage. It’s cosy and fully equipped - perfect for relaxing. The owners went above and beyond to help us out, especially when Storm Gerrit caused a few little problems; they sorted everything super quickly, which was really impressive given it was Christmas. Hopefully, next time we can enjoy the area in better weather!

This place has potential, just needs some tweaks. It’s fresh and charmingand I think it could really take off soon.
