Lovingly decorated to a high standard and located in the picturesque seaside village of Combe Martin, this cottage is the perfect retreat for family and friends.

Within 500 metres of the beach and 5 miles from Exmoor National Park, this stylish holiday cottage, finished to a very high standard, offers a convenient base for an active and adventurous stay in North Devon. Boasting contemporary furnishings that beautifully complement its original features, the cottage also enjoys underfloor heating in the spacious kitchen/diner and artificial grass on its enclosed front garden, creating comfortable and sociable spaces throughout.

The riot of colour and quirky soft furnishings will take your eye the moment you enter each room, catching the natural light which pours in through the cottage’s large windows, doors and skylights. The inviting lounge is the ideal place to relax throughout the day with coffee or cocktail in hand, while the bright and airy kitchen/diner is a sociable space for hosting lazy breakfasts or indulgent dinner parties. The utility room and the shower room, both on the ground floor, will keep your group clean, tidy and on schedule. Upstairs a family bathroom, serves four well-appointed and individually-styled bedrooms full of character - a super-king-size bedroom, a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom and a single bedroom. People watch to your heart’s content from the comfort of the enclosed garden at the front of the property, whether while enjoying a morning coffee, alfresco brunch or evening BBQ.

Combe Martin beach (500 metres) is a popular destination for water sports lovers of all ages, while a plethora of family-friendly amenities are easy to find throughout its bustling village. Combe Martin is a key landmark on the South West Coast Path, beloved by walkers and cyclists, while Exmoor National Park (5 miles) offers a range of activities across its woodland, coastal and moorland landscapes.
