The Experience

Back in the 1830s, this neat white cottage in a sweet North Devon village was the post office. Its thick stone walls have seen centuries of history but inside it’s bang up to date. Crisp, clean and uncluttered, it’s a soothing place to kick your shoes off and relax.

Walk to a little shop for croissants in the morning, on dry days you can breakfast in the pretty garden. Walk to spectacular Morte Point, explore the rock pools at Rockham Beach and dine on fresh seafood in Mortehoe’s pubs.

This is an all-weather coastal bolthole. Walk straight onto the coastal path or down to the beach, return to a cream tea by the cosy wood-burner. Watch the stars come out from the garden on balmy nights in summer.

Reviews

Richard, Oxford

We always love returning to Mortehoe and The Old Post Office. It’s the perfect location and size for a family of four to explore the coastal paths and hidden coves, and enjoy the surf at Woolacombe beach. Emma and Rich are great hosts too.

Kate, Fleet

We had a wonderful time staying at Old Post Cottage and would love to come back! The cottage was really homely and had everything we needed, and our 3 year old loved the toys and games. Fantastic location in a pretty village, with beautiful walks on the coastal paths and beaches without having to get in the car. We loved it!

A beautiful cottage in a part of the country we love. Very thankful for Rich’s prompt communication and instructions, it made parking very simple and everything else easy. Rich was very accommodating with an early check-in. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Fantastic cottage. Lovely and quiet, lots of space and perfect for me, my wife and our little boy. He loved reading all the books and playing the games! Brilliant location for lovely walks and easy trips to the beach in Woolacombe.
