Property code: SFSUP

Just 1 mile from Woolacombe Beach with fantastic sea views from the property, is a simple, spacious and delightful bungalow on the grassy hills of Woolacombe, North Devon. This property is perfect for both surfers looking for an accessible spot to run to the beach and large families eager to explore the wonders that the Devon coast has to offer – just be mindful of the steep climb back up to the house! Take in the picturesque landscape and relax into your calm, serene surroundings.

Sliding glass doors allow light to flow into your living room as you enter the lounge/kitchen/dining area, which looks over the Atlantic Ocean. This space is minimalist in design, but uses soft pastel tones and cosy furnishings to bring the bungalow to life. The three bedrooms (1 king size, 1 double and 1 twin) are bright and comfortable with the double room boasting sea views. The rooms all share a bathroom with separate shower and separate WC. Outside, the lawned garden offers stunning sea views with garden furniture.

If surfing is your priority, then head straight to Woolacombe Surf Centre less than 1 mile from the property. The centre is a school for surfing, kayaking and coasteering; however you can also just hire the equipment if you’re a pro already. For those who aren’t here to ride the waves, guests can try a gentle horse ride along the cliffs and take in the amazing views from horseback 1.5 miles away at Woolacombe Riding Stables – a perfect day out for families. Whatever you do, make sure you’re back in the comfort of your own lounge to watch the sun set over Woolacombe Beach.

Great place, great location, great weather and lovely accommodation. We were extremely lucky to get stunning weather in Woolacombe but on a cloudy morning it's just lovely to sit and stare at the sea. I would 100% recommend 'Surfs Up' to anyone. You'll love it !!

Great location. Little treats on arrival. Clean and very comfortable. Great views. And really special: very quiet, as tucked away from roads.

My family and I including the Dog had a fabulous stay at Surf Up. It is well equipped and a good size for my adult family of 5. We were welcomed to a lovely clean and airy space and treats for all including the Dog. The views across to Woolacombe are amazing and the location great. The hill up from the beach is steep so a car is recommended if you Read morehave beach equipment. Hide

Our second time here and loved it again. Yes there's a big hill to climb but that isn't an issue for us plus you can easily drive down to the centre and park if needed. Property has everything you need for self catering and we loved the nice little touches like a welcome cake, prosecco and chocolate too!!

Charming, comfortable & well equipped with a perfect layout & wonderful views. The steep approach did beat this 10,000 steps a day granny, unused to long steep hills, but the rest of the family ran or walked down, along the beach & back again every day, often twice.

Beautiful cottage to high standard with panoramic views across Woolacombe Bay and Lundy Island. Plenty of walks nearby albeit strenuous ones and nature at its best. Very quiet rural location.

Lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful location with stunning views. Very warm welcome with cake, prosecco, biscuits, tea and flowers on arrival for the humans and an amazing basket of goodies for the dog - very nice touches. Lovely walks from the property - choose route wisely to avoid very steep climbs back to the cottage!

Great as a base for those wishing to visit Woolacombe. The lane to the village can be walked but is extremely steep without pavements and few passing places, a car is highly recommended. The cottage was spotless and the owners kindly provided treats for the family and even our dog, including fresh flowers and a bottle of Prosecco. Location is quietRead more and peaceful. The small but pretty garden is lovely for sunset drinks. Advisable to bring essential groceries as local shops are expensive. Hide
