West Putford

West Putford sits in rural Devon, close enough to Bideford to be marketed as part of that area yet distinctly separate from any town. Accommodation here suits those looking for genuine quiet rather than a village centre. Thyme at South Worden illustrates the character well: a modernised annexe of a thatched 17th-century longhouse, sleeping two adults with a super-king-size bedroom on the first floor, French doors opening to a private balcony with patio seating, and owners on site should anything be needed.

The ground floor of Thyme at South Worden holds a beamed lounge with an electric stove, a recliner and sofa, a galley kitchen, and a contemporary bathroom fitted with both a bath and a shower. Outside, two patio areas extend the living space, one with a hot tub, BBQ and seating. The property accepts up to two dogs, stores bicycles in a shed, and provides beach equipment including bodyboards and folding chairs. It is not suitable for young children or infants.
