Woolacombe, with its famous three-mile surfing beach, shops, pubs and eateries, is home to this sleek modern property, an elegant base for a classic North Devon beach holiday. Backing onto the famous Tarka Trail, and close to Exmoor’s wonderful scenery and inspiring views of the South West Coast Path, walkers are spoilt for choice. You’re just 2 miles from Woolacombe beach as well as an easy drive from many of the area’s attractions.

With one double and one twin bedroom downstairs, and a king-size upstairs, it’s ideal for multi-generation family groups. Both downstairs bedrooms have an en-suite shower/WC, and there is another bathroom with shower over bath. A separate laundry room has a freezer and wetsuit drying space. Overall, it’s fully-equipped for a hassle-free holiday with great attention to detail and coastal artworks providing homely touches. The spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room opens to the rear through large glass doors, linking the comfortable lounge area to the garden with its mature trees, patio seating and lawn. There are sun loungers and a BBQ so adults can relax and enjoy the sunshine while children run and play on the lawn.

What better way to get into holiday mode than strolling on the beach as you enjoy one of Woolacombe’s renowned ice-creams? Or why not take the plunge and learn to ride the waves at the friendly surf school. Barnstaple’s shops, eateries and pannier market are 12 miles away, and for a culture fix visit Broomhill Sculpture Garden near Muddiford (10 miles). Exmoor Zoo is 14 miles away through beautiful countryside, and part way along this route is the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (10 miles) where you can experience a different type of fauna.

We had a lovely weeks stay. The cottage was spacious and in a nice quiet spot well positioned for exploring. The garage across the road, the Nisa shop and the old mill pub were all in walking distance and the Depot pub up the road was really good. The cottage was well equipped and the views over the fields were relaxing in the evening.

Positives: Great modern house, lounge and large window fantastic. Very clean. Negatives: nearest pub closed down, and walk to Woolacombe is on a busy road with no footpath for a large section. There is a walk through fields, however, this is quite tricky for elderly and a pram is a no no.

A lovely place to stay, the house was very clean, every room had an on-suit (one with a bath) so gd with a baby and there is lots of room. The kettle stopped working the evening we got there but we messaged the owner and one arrived the next morning. The house is in such a good location, a 5 minute drive to Woolacome beach! The house is on a privatRead moree lane with no access at the end so hardly any cars or foot traffic. It's close to the Tarka trail which was great for early morning walks with a baby Hide

We had a lovely weeks stay at Serendipity. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you need for your holiday. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of seating space in the living area and the garden was also a great area for sitting out in. The added touches of things like the welcome basket and games cupboard are lovely.Read more Situated just far enough from the town for peace and quiet, but close enough to reach the beach in minutes.

Lovely property with fantastic layout. Wreally well equipped home. Positioned for exploring this part of Devon. The cross country walk to Woolacombe saves using the car but is not easy. This property is super comfortable and cosy.

We really enjoyed our time at Serendipity Cottage. It's a short drive to all of the main beaches in the area, with Woolacombe being the closest. We had everything we needed at the house. It's an ideal sized holiday house for a family of 4-5. Two families may be a squeeze but just requires a little compromise on space. There is plenty of room in theRead more garage for dumping beach stuff (bucket, spades, boards, wetsuits etc) which we found particularly helpful. We'd definitely consider returning! Hide

Lovely holiday home - great location just a short drive to the beach and amenities (or a walk if you like to get your steps in!). Lovely view from the garden and Tarka Trail on your doorstep.
