Swim, surf and go on long coastal walks from this welcoming holiday home in the village of Braunton, 5 miles from Barnstaple. Sleeping eight people, and also welcoming two happy hounds, the two-storey property has four bedrooms. Enjoy being just over 2 miles from the golden expanse of Saunton Sands; stroll through the dunes of Braunton Burrows; then return home to relax in the garden or play table tennis in the games room.

Open the front door on to this Devon property and from the hall wander into the open-plan lounge/kitchen, with its underfloor heating. Pull open the doors to the garden on warm days; light the wood burner when it’s chilly. Play games, watch the Smart TV or take turns at cooking tasty holiday feasts. Lay the table in the dining area, where there are more garden doors. Find you have a utility room too, with wine fridge, and that there is a WC, family bathroom, twin bedroom and king-size also down here. Climb the stairs to find two more king-size bedrooms, with en-suite shower rooms and one with a Smart TV. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner out in the garden on fine days, with its artificial lawn. Cook supper on the BBQ and knock a few balls over the net in the games room before heading back into the house for the night. Find you have parking for two cars.

Venture 18 miles to the beach at Westward Ho! for an alternative day out on the sand. Stop in Appledore, 16 miles away, for a Devon tea on the way home. Shop in Barnstaple for delicious local produce at the pannier market.

A very well positioned, beautifully furnished property. Extremely spacious for 8 people and we enjoyed the games room very much. Nice touches included the wine fridge, great glass selection, good coffee machine and bbq. The cottage is very well positioned for great walks, fabulous beaches and pubs & restaurants too.

Vardons is a beautiful house in a great location for the beach as well as for a short walk into the centre of Braunton. It's the "right" (beach) side of the busy road junction so you can easily avoid the daily traffic. The facilities were perfect for our group - two families of four. We weren't lucky with the weather, so the games room and space weRead morere much appreciated. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay here again. Hide

Lovely host, quick to respond. The house is spacious and comfortable. Gorgeous enclosed garden, which was great for the kids and dog. A short walk to the local high street and short drive to local beaches. There was plenty of space for 7 of us. Highly recommend this property.

A lovely house for a family holiday. The kitchen and living room are a very good size and the sofas so comfortable. The house has everything you need with many thoughtful touches. The location is great, a 10 minutes drive to the beach and a short walk into the centre of Braunton. The owners were very helpful and responsive to messages and questionsRead more. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed in. Thank you. Hide
