Welcome to the Petrock Holiday Cottages. Oak Tree and Primrose cottages provide stunning spaces in a converted Devon long barn. We provide the very best of stylish self-catering accommodation for the discerning traveller. We offer a romantic retreat for couples or there is plenty of space for families. De-stress and unwind by staying in either Oak Tree or Primrose. Our cottages are a real alternative to a busy hotel or B&B. Because we are small we can give you the freedom and privacy you want. We are in a rural farming community but very accessible to the north Devon and Cornwall coast, Dartmoor and Exmoor. We offer free wi-fi, free parking and we accept dogs on request with a small pet stay charge. See our website petrockholidaycottages for details.
Hi! We are Richard and Helen and own two beautiful cottages in rural North Devon (Petrock Holiday Cottages). We look forward to welcoming you to our rural retreat, nestled in the beautiful Devon countryside. We live on site, so are very happy to help with any local information but the cottages are very private and have their own entrances and gardens. Richard is an artist and the cottages are filled with original art works, some of which are for sale. We hope you will enjoy the peace, tranquility and dark starry skies in our little hamlet, as much as we do.
We are located in Ruby Country, enclosed by the upland expanses of Bodmin, Exmoor and Dartmoor, and to the north by the wild and rugged North Devon and Cornwall coast. For great days out visit Great Torrington to experience Dartington Crystal, RHS Rosemoor gardens or the Tarka trail for walking and cycling for the whole family. Head to the Cornish coast at Bude for the great beach vibe and surfing plus access to the south west coastal path. Visit Appledore near Bideford to stroll the promenade and people watch from its many cafe’s or experience Instow for its family friendly beach, making sand castles or playing in the sea and dunes all day long. We are close to Westward Ho! and within easy reach of The Eden Project, Boscastle, Tintagel, Padstow.
