Muddlebridge House Holiday Cottages consists of seven delightful and well equipped properties sleeping from 2 - 6 guests and provide the ideal setting for a relaxing self-catering holiday or break in some of the most lovely scenery of the the West of England.
The oldest parts of Muddlebridge House are believed to have been one of several small local potteries, some of which existed until well into the 20th Century. In the late 18th Century a large extension was added to the original building at the same time as two stable blocks and a carriage barn to create an elegant Georgian gentleman's residence and then in the mid 1980s the stables and barn were converted to form the cottages.
Each self-contained cottage has its own unique character and layout and is comfortably furnished. The open-plan living rooms provide unique sitting, dining and kitchen areas. There are excellent facilities onsite with over 2 acres of pretty grounds, an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, two games rooms, large outdoor play areas, pets corner, cycle hire, picnic areas and barbecues.
The convenient semi rural location is ideal being between the historic and picturesque town of Barnstaple and the pretty estuary-side village of Instow. Close proximity to shops, pubs/restaurants and within 800 metres of The Tarka Trail. There is a wide range of sports and family entertainment nearby including wonderful beaches, cliff walking and delightful countryside.
