Self-catering Holiday Cottages near Mortehoe

Mortehoe, a charming village crafted from stone and slate, is nestled on the North Devon Heritage coastline, just inland from Morte Point, its namesake. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, Mortehoe boasts a rich tapestry of pubs and tea rooms, a 13th-century church, and the Mortehoe Heritage Centre. The Heritage Centre offers a glimpse into the village's captivating maritime history, intertwined with the perilous rocks and currents off Morte Point that have caused countless shipwrecks.

The dramatic Rockham Beach, accessible on foot from the village, has recently been reopened by the National Trust, who replaced the washed-away steps, allowing visitors to once again experience this spectacular area. From Rockham Bay, the coastal path leads to Morte Point, where breathtaking views of Woolacombe, Baggy Point, and perhaps even a seal or two, await.

With Woolacombe less than a mile away and Ilfracombe just six miles in the opposite direction, Mortehoe is an ideal base for exploring this stunning region. The village is well-served by amenities and enriched by its historical significance, natural beauty, and convenient location, making it a must-visit destination on the North Devon coast.
