Downe is an idyllic collection of eight holiday cottages which provide luxury self catering accommodation. Our eight, beautiful holiday cottages are located in the stunning North Devon coastal location on the Hartland Peninsula, between Bideford and Bude. Downe looks West and North over the Atlantic Ocean. Described by The Sunday Times as “the self catering equivalent of a five star country hotel”, Downe Cottages are amongst the very best self catering cottages in the UK. Unlike other five star country hotels, we are able to offer guests space, comfort and the surrounding Downe landscape right on your doorstep. Downe will provide guests with a unique combination of the luxury hotel added together with the privacy and freedom of a self catering break. Perfect for both romantic breaks, weekend breaks short or longer holidays, guests will experience true West Country, whatever the weather and whatever time of year. Each of our cottages are of a very high standard and all feature beautiful log burners or cast iron living flame stoves, slate floors, artistic, exposed beams, high quality Laura Ashley furnishings in keeping with the cottage style. All have a fully equipped, modern kitchen and spacious living and dining areas with locally made pine furniture, TV, DVD, hairdryers and alarms are provided. Outside each cottage is a seating area with garden furniture so guests can enjoy the glorious weather, there are over seven acres of grounds including a two acre meadow and play area for young children. Adjoining the cottages and sharing the overall tranquility is Downe Health Spa, an exclusive retreat where a range of superb beauty therapies are on offer, including beauty body treatments, body wraps, facials, manicures and pedicures and holistic therapies. Set in the midst of rolling farmland that slopes gently to the coast. Our nearest neighbours are half a mile away, and all around are glorious sea views.
