All of the cottages at Stowford Lodge, including Tarquol Cottage, have been lovingly converted from Victorian stone farm buildings that surround a peaceful gravelled courtyard. Each cottage retains a wealth of original features, with exposed beams, high ceilings, and beautiful natural wood finishes. Perfectly positioned for discovering both Devon and Cornwall, Stowford Lodge makes an ideal base for exploring the region’s many attractions. The picturesque coastal spots of Westward Ho!, Instow, Clovelly, Buck’s Mills, and Combe Martin are all just a short drive away, each offering safe beaches and breathtaking sea views. For those seeking adventure, boat trips to Lundy Island depart from nearby Bideford and Ilfracombe, while the wild beauty of Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks can be reached easily by car.
