Doves Den is just a few miles from the breathtaking coastal path and secluded beach at Welcombe Mouth with its cliffs, waterfall, rock pools, sand and surf. Set in the owner’s grounds,, this cosy retreat is ideal for couples wanting a coastal escape and is the perfect base from which to explore both Devon and Cornwall. The coastline in both directions offers some of the most awesome scenery in the West Country, and there are many long sandy beaches and hidden sheltered coves to explore.
Welcombe is a delightful village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the North Devon Coast, close to the Cornish border. The character thatched village pub is just 1 mile away and is renowned for its food. Bude’s vibrant town centre is just 10 miles and has a vast array of good restaurants and bars along with glorious sandy beaches and stunning coastal and canal walks. Doves Den is the perfect choice at any time of year with fishing, golf, horse riding, surfing, sailing and walking all available in this stunning area. RHS Garden Rosemoor, Docton Mill and Hartland Quay are well worth a visit, along with many pretty fishing villages to explore including nearby Clovelly, Instow and Appledore in Devon and Port Isaac, Tintagel and Padstow in Cornwall. Beach 2½ miles. Shop 20 yards, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Our stay October, 2019
Although the stay was short we feel that the bungalow did not come up to your usual standard of property. The owners were delightful and did their best to deal with the issue of the light fitting, and very kindly gave us some initial provisions which were very much appreciated. I am sure if the weather had been better then the holiday would have been nicer.
