Welcome to Downe Cottages
- Downe Health Spa & Cottages rated "excellent" by 4 travellers
Downe Holiday Cottages are an idyllic collection of eight luxury self-catering holiday cottages with sea views set on the North Devon Coast.
Downe’s deluxe holiday cottages provide the perfect setting for a romantic break, a weekend break, a short break or a longer holiday. Truly some of the West Country’s loveliest cottages they offer wonderful holidays in the South West whatever the weather and whatever the time of year.
Adjoining the cottages and sharing the overall tranquility is Downe Health Spa, an exclusive retreat.
Downe Cottages offers a range of services that help you to make the most of your holiday:
- Incorporate a selection of beauty or holistic therapies into your holiday.
- Enjoy a Pamper Day or Pamper Break in the Health Spa during your holiday, particularly if the weather is inclement.
- Order Breakfast Baskets delivered to your cottage (freshly made bread, marmalade, muesli, and fruit salad, locally sourced bacon and free range eggs).
- Order Meals that are delivered directly to your cottage. Take the ‘self’ out of ‘self catering’!
- Add an extra element of surprise to a special occasion with a bouquet of flowers in your cottage on arrival.
Located in a stunning North Devon coastal location on the Hartland Peninsula between Bideford and Bude, Downe looks West and North over the Atlantic Ocean.
Described by the Sunday Times as “the self catering equivalent of a five star country hotel” there are very few five star country hotels that offer the space, the comfort and the surrounding landscape of Downe. Downe Holiday Cottages provide a unique combination of the luxury hotel and the privacy and freedom of a self-catering break.
