SITUATION
Blagdon Cottage is situated in an enviable setting at Blagdonmoor Wharf which is a relatively unknown spot consisting of only four other properties. The thriving market town of Holsworthy is only 2 miles and offers a wide range of facilities including supermarket, butchers, newsagents, banks, post office, dentist, doctors, cottage hospital, vet, places of worship, leisure centre with heated indoor swimming pool and an 18 hole golf course. The popular north Cornish coastal resort of Bude is approximately 10 miles distant with the spectacular and dramatic north Cornish coastline, much of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and provides many sandy beaches with a variety of watersports available. There are Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools at Holsworthy and an excellent preparatory school in Bude and a daily bus service to Shebbear College from Holsworthy. A more comprehensive range of recreational and shopping facilities are available to the south in Launceston, approximately 14 miles and to the north in Bideford, approximately 20 miles and Barnstaple, approximately 30 miles. The cathedral city and county town of Exeter is about 50 miles to the east.
