Set on former farmland at the gateway of North Devon, this Grade II-listed thatched cottage has storybook charm, with contemporary creature comforts. Find shops, pubs, and eateries within walking distance, and pristine shores just 3 miles away at Saunton Sands, with Braunton Burrows providing the perfect scenic backdrop. Parking is convenient too, with room for three cars in the driveway.

With its cottage garden exterior and spacious interiors, you'll be hooked on this charming property. Enjoy the well-equipped kitchen and dining area which features handsome vaulted ceilings, a large electric range oven and an American-style fridge/freezer. Unwind in the living area by the SmartTV, feast in the dining room with its attractive herringbone woodblock floor, and enjoy the outside decked area. When slumber calls, you'll be glad to find cosy beds upstairs; in a king-size bedroom with a walk-in shower, a twin bedroom, and a single bedroom with a pull-out trundle bed. There's also a (split-level) family bathroom with a step up to the bathtub, plus a separate shower and WC. The garden is charming, with mature fruit trees, shrubs, and crazy-paved areas. Plus, there are steps up to a summerhouse, and a gas BBQ for al fresco afternoons.

Go surfing and swimming along the sandy beaches nearby. Walkers will love the long stretches, taking in Saunton (3 miles), Croyde (4.5 miles), and Woolacombe (7 miles), while the South West Coast Path runs across the headland to Baggy Point (5.5 miles). Exmoor National Park (15 miles) lures visitors with its heather-clad hill walks, challenging cycle routes, and wildlife including wild ponies, deer, and birdlife.

This is a lovely house to stay in, the views from the balcony, the garden for the children and the dog to play in are brilliant. A well equipped house and such a comfortable place to spend two weeks holiday. The change of linen, towels and a quick refresh halfway through our holiday was a super touch.

Great accommodation with wonderful views. Very clean, smart, and comfortable. Unfortunately the description fails to note the pitch'n'putt course right outside the back garden, which meant that golfers could look straight into the main bedroom, and also detracted from the privacy of the balcony. Also, the footpath across the Burrows was very soggy Read more(blame the weather) and absolutely covered in sheep and horse poo, which made it less than pleasant to walk the dogs there. Hide

Wonderful location , great views of the burrows and sea in the distance, really lovely house. Garden enclosed and perfect for our dog! Easy to walk into Westward Ho! and about a 20 minute walk to the beach too. Dont need to venture much further, as the beach at Westward Ho! is superb for body boarding, walking and dogs! House was very spacious, modRead moreern and clean and is located in a very peaceful area. Will definitely return! Hide

Very nice spacious accommodation and dogs were welcome. However, it was disappointing that the beach was further away than anticipated and on the other side of a golf course with a sea view in the distance. Good location for exploring the north Devon coast though.

Absolutely the best holiday accommodation Ive ever had in the uk! I miss the view from the balcony & our evening strolls along the burrows into Westward Ho! 3 generations of the same family, plenty of space for us all, comfortable beds, garden for the kids. Loved watching the sun go down over the sea. I wish we could have stayed longer.
