The place
Peacock Cottage is one of the five stunning places to stay on the Coulscott Cottages site – all hidden away in Combe Martin, just a few miles from the sea. Staying here is a relaxing getaway surrounded by stone brick walls, and beautiful old support beams, cottagecore aesthetics punctuated with pretty features – like a four-poster bed. It’s the perfect spot to retire back to after exploring the best of the Devon coastline, spending the day hitting the waves, and returning back to the place to warm back up by the wood burner. If going further than the site feels like too much effort, then stay nearby, and meet the many animals, swim in the indoor pool, or even treat yourself to some yoga classes or a massage. With five acres of on-site walks, there’s more than enough to keep you entertained.
In the neighbourhood
- Favourite Walk Nearby (10 min drive): Enjoy a scenic walk through ancient woodland in the Heddon Valley, leading to the sea between some of England’s highest cliffs. A designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, the valley is rich in wildlife, including otters and the rare high brown fritillary butterfly. Don’t miss the restored 19th-century lime kiln on the beach
- Bull Point Lighthouse, 35-minute drive: take on the walk to Morte point to the southwest. Known locally as the ‘Seals and Smugglers’ route, we recommend bringing some binoculars, as you might well spot Atlantic seals or porpoises if you’re lucky!
- Baggy Point, 35-minute drive: Overlooking Croyde beach, and one of North Devon’s best surfing spots, you might spot climbers scaling the cliffs or coasteerers… coasteering. This spot’s maintained by The National Trust and is three paw rated for dogs!
- Dunkery & Horner Wood, 40-minute drive: Take the dogs for a trip around the woods, searching for smells and burning off that excess energy. Just be sure to lead up where necessary.
