Bickington near Barnstaple

A converted watchtower above the River Taw in North Devon

Bickington sits near Barnstaple, a market town with pubs, shops, restaurants, a cinema and a theatre within reach on foot or a short trip away. The area is well placed for North Devon’s Atlantic coast, with Westward Ho!, Saunton and Croyde among the sandy beaches popular with surfers nearby.

The Watchtower is a compact one-bedroom property set high on a hill above the River Taw, sleeping two adults. The layout spans two floors: a ground-floor open-plan kitchen and dining area with an electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge, plus a shower room with WC, and an upper-floor open-plan lounge with a double bed and Smart TV. Bed linen, towels and electricity are included. Outside, a shared lawned garden with seating reserved for Watchtower guests provides a place to sit in the evening. Parking for two cars is available, though there is no washing machine on site.
