Close to all of the action, the historic town of Bideford provides an excellent base for exploring the region, and beautiful Mariners House is just the property from which to do so. Refurbished to a fantastic level, the stylish Victorian villa offers luxurious living in the heart of the town. The large rear garden, which includes a hot-tub and detached games room, will keep all of the family entertained while, inside, the stately dining room and beautiful living spaces are perfect for all occasions.

The grand staircase leads to five characterful bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master room with its four-poster bed and chaise longue exudes luxury, while each of the other rooms, including two twins, has been finished with comfort and style in mind.

Bideford itself is a bustling maritime town and home to it’s famous pannier market. Dating back to 1884, the 1000 square metre Market Hall is packed with stalls from Tuesday through to Saturday, with ‘Butchers’ Row‘ open for business on Monday’s too. There are permanent shops and a cafe too, making it a great destination for rainy days or the morning shop.
