Situated right beside the South-West Coastal Path, Riverside Mews is a relaxing, end-terraced riverside house that provides great holiday accommodation regardless of the time of year. Recently renovated in 2023 where new vinyl tiles floors have been laid on the ground floor and upstairs bathroom. The property enjoying stunning views across the River Torridge from the garden is also just a short level walk along the river to one side, and Bideford’s Victoria Park on the other (some 400 yards away). The path leads through the park (home to Burton Art Gallery and Museum and the Café du Parc) and on to the pretty port town of Bideford, with its pastel-coloured houses alongside a tree-lined quay. The park and its play areas are great for the young (and young at heart) with numerous playing fields, & a dedicated area for dogs, a small pool plus a skateboard park next to Bideford Town Football Club nearby.
What to Do? Maybe take a boat trip to the nature reserve at Lundy Island, which offers the chance to see seals and dolphins, or there are many a pretty fishing villages to explore in the area, starting with places such as Clovelly, Instow and Appledore. Just 2 miles away, the vast golden sandy beach of Westward Ho! is popular with surfers. If you’d rather stay a little closer to home, you can saunter along the coastal path that follows the river, yards from the water’s edge. The nearest slipway is 200 yards down river from the property, whilst keen cyclists and walkers can join the Tarka Trail, which passes through Bideford.
The Welcome pack gives you much useful information on all the above and more.

We had a lovely break and so lucky with the weather the house is so convenient for trips about and we really enjoyed the park so relaxing the house is well equipped and spotless would have liked a long mirror and although the garden has a picnic table we would like more comfortable seating just to relax the garden does need a bit of attention.

Spent last week in Riverside Mews and had a lovely time there . The house is just as good as it looks in the pictures and the location couldn't be better. Everything you need is there and lots of little extras like milk, tea bags, coffee and cakes were really appreciated. It was spotlessly clean. My husband likes walking and he had many choices straight out of the front door. We really couldn't find any faults. 5 star.
