Gorgeous 3 bed cottage in Mortehoe with fantastic roof terrace seaviews!

In the heart of Mortehoe village and surrounded by National Trust coastline, Old Bakery Cottage is in a superb location for a beach or walking holiday. This popular spacious cottage has all modern facilities, superb sea views from the roof terrace and living area and easy access to beaches and coastline. It is ideal for family holidays and accommodates 6 people comfortably, with three bedrooms situated on the ground floor. The cottage is a fantastic base for local beaches and country walks. Of all our cottages in Mortehoe this possibly has the best sea views.

Stunning National Trust coastland stretches in all directions and the famous beaches of Woolacombe bay are within walking distance or short hop by car. Pony-trekking, surfing and golf facilities are available locally. Just a 10 minute walk from the cottage is Grunta Beach, great for rock pooling and sheltered bathing and just through the village on the way to the lighthouse is the coastal footpath down to Rockham Beach with the remains of a ship wreck still to be found. Three great pubs serving locally produced food, a Fish & Chips, Deli, two tea rooms, Post Office, village store, church, gift shop, Mortehoe Museum and under 11’s play area are all in the village just minutes from the cottage.

This characterful, quirky cottage has the bedrooms on the ground floor and living area upstairs to take full advantage of the views to the rolling hills to the left or the sea in front. There are 2 double bedrooms (one with small en-suite w/c & shower) - 1 room with 3ft bunks - Utility/drying room with washing machine (no dryer) –fitted bathroom – Upstairs is the open plan room with new for 2020 galley kitchen one end with cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, slim-line dishwasher etc - through to large living/dining room with gas-flame effect fire, 2 white leather sofas, dining table and chairs, wall mounted Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker/docking station with USB charger. This cottage also has Wi-Fi.

An absolute winner with good sized roof terrace with superb sea views. Bed linen & one bath/one hand towel per person provided - please bring beach towels. There is a travel cot and high chair.

Parking is in the local Mortehoe village car park. You can drop off and unload at the cottage. There is a good value visitors parking permit that covers the village car park and 23 other local council car parks in the area. https://www.northdevon.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/visitor-and-tourist-permits/4-and-7-day-permits/
The village car park is just a short stroll away. Four or seven day seasonal parking permits can be purchased in advance via credit/debit card and then posted directly to you at home - best now purchased online. The weekly tickets allow you to use a number of other car parks in the area which can be useful when out and about.

All in all a truly lovely place with a super atmosphere and quirky feel, we think you’ll love it!

We enjoyed our first visit to the Old Bakery Cottage very much. It is well equipped and so comfortable. Particularly we liked the recycle system with coloured baskets. The area around is perfect for walking and we found some good places to eat. We want to stay again! Thank you , Mary and Michael

Property was delightful, situated near the village pub and shop post office and chip shop there was also a lovely bistro. The beach was within walking distance but was downhill! The coastal path was also accessible.

Its a lovely cottage with lots of space and light. Good position, although parking is an issue. On face value it appeared clean but could be improved.

10/10

Great location in center of Mortehoe tucked down a side street opposite the pub The Chichester Arms. Woolacombe about a 5 min drive down steep narrow road that can get busy. You can walk over the hill would take about 30 mins. Parking can be pre booked with North Devon council is a must as no parking at property. Property itself spotless and perfect for 6 of us 4 adults and 2 kids. Great location for pubs and takeaways. 👍

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Old Bakery Cottage. The cottage was perfect for our group of 5. Views out over to Woolacombe were stunning, the facilities within the cottage were great, location is fantastic, only a 5 min drive into Woolacombe, can be walked, but a steep hill to come back up. The village of Mortehoe is great with 2 lovely pubs serving great good, a fantastic fish and chip shop, tea shop, bistro and take away. Just perfect and would definitely recommend. We will return. Thank you.

Es gibt keinen PKW - Stellplatz vor oder an dem Haus. Das Be- und Entladen ist schwierig. Einzige Parkmöglichkeit ist ein ca. 200 m entfernter kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz (20 Pfund / Woche). Das Geld haben wir allerdings vom Hauseigentümer erhalten.

We enjoyed our holiday at The Old Bakery which was very clean with a stunning view from the balcony and would not hesitate to go there again, such a lovely little village with beautiful coastal walks too.

10/10

The view from the balcony makes this home a perfect location. The sea view and the fields around you are spectacular. The home is fully equipped with all you need to self cater. Comfy beds and lovely showers. Ticks all the boxes for me!

We’ve stayed here many times over the years and it was so good to be back after 2yrs gap. Great location,2 pubs serving good food and great for walking and the beach.although you’ll need the car to get there unless you don’t mind walking up a very steep hill on the way back!

This is the second time we have visited The Old Bakery over a two year period the house and it doesn’t disappoint it has an excellent view from the balcony it’s a little sun trap. The bedrooms have plenty of space and it even has a laundry room the living room and dinning table are amply large with that good view all in all a splendid place to base yourselves. If your walkers like us you will enjoy leaving the car and setting out on foot in Mortehoe as the coastal trail is stunning as is the walk behind the Bakery to Woolacombe. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!

We have stayed many times at this property. Great location, very convenient and great views. It has definitely improved over the years we have been staying ie new kitchen TV etc. We do feel however it needs new more comfortable furniture in the lounge area and the dining table and chairs are awful. Having said that it wouldn’t stop us from staying again.

This was a real find for us and did not expect such a well equipped self contained property. Our stay was for 7 nights in a very quiet village with two pubs, a fish and chip shop and a specialist take away shop. The ground floor contained three spacious bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry room. One bedroom had an suite which was small but convenient. The 1st floor contained kitchen, lounge and dining area leading onto a large external patio area with views to the sea and hills at the back of the property. This layout proved to be the selling point of the property. Would definitely book this property again especially as it was ideally placed for visiting Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and other nearby places.

Old Bakery was a perfect cottage in a perfect location for a great week in Woolacombe. From booking through to arrival we received all the information we needed to ensure a smooth rental in these difficult times. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, the views are glorious and the space is comfortable with plenty of room for six people.

Our 3rd visit to the Old Bakery and you have not let us down, a real home from home with the added bonus of a few improvements, a fantastic new kitchen with new layout and a new shower. The cottage has the most amazing views from the balcony, the hills and the sheep and cows to on one side and the most amazing view of Woolacombe bay to the other side; plus it is nestled in the beautiful hamlet of Mortehoe. Which has everything you need for a holiday, 2 pubs, a fish and chip shop - which are amazing! an ice cream shop and a park for the children!! The owner is very friendly and approachable, we love the pink house, as my youngest son calls it!!

The cottage is in a great location and has wonderful views from the balcony. The accommodation is well laid out with plenty of space. The only thing missing in the kitchen is a few utensils like a spatula and wooden spoon. Luckily we also brought our own ice cube trays as none were provided. I look forwards to a return visit in the future.

This cottage was in the perfect location for walking. There are several walks to be done from this village and it is also walkable into Woolacombe, although the walk back up the hill is pretty tough. There are a few small improvements that could be made, for instance a new seal on the bottom of the shower guard in the bathroom, better quality cooking tools and a lick of paint in the bathroom, which is looking a bit tired. I would say that although it was generally clean, it was not quite up to “Covid clean” standard although there are sprays provided so you can DIY. The facilities in the village are adequate with a couple of pubs, restaurant, 2 take aways and a Post Office. It’s a nice quiet village so you can really wind down.

A lovely cottage in a perfect location in the middle of the village. The view from the terrace was stunning.

8/10

Excellent location but due to COVID everything seems to close on Mondays. Local takeaway was brilliant but only open Thurs Fri Sat as Miss Feas restaurant where we had a lovely meal. Upstairs of the property was stunning lovely views and very spacious. My only criticism was the chairs at the table were very uncomfortable and not good for backs. Lovely hot showers and good heating. Would recommend this lovely holiday home.

We loved the location of the cottage. The views are amazing. The OK reviews are due to two things: Living room furniture: this is not comfortable at all for both the settees and dining room chairs Downstairs: Became very damp as the week went by. We aired the rooms but had flies and ants on the bathroom floor. We loved the cottage overall and are planning to stay again next year. The feedback is based on what can be improved to make the cottage even better than it is. The open plan upstairs accommodation/views is what will make us come back as it is award winning.

As above, much improved due to upper floor. Appreciate you listened to last year’s comments and acted accordingly. We will look forward to visiting again next year.
