Property code: OC-PIXIEC

This deceptively spacious property for six is situated in a quiet residential area of Braunton. The clever design utilises the whole of the first floor as the living room takes advantage of the far-reaching dune views.

Steps lead up to the front door, past the front garden which is laid to lawn and many assorted and well-maintained shrub borders. You’ll find yourself in the hallway with slate flooring and plenty of space for coats and shoes. The main bedroom is off to the right and comprises a super-king bed zip n link option into two singles on request and a large window with views over the front garden. A double bedroom is on the left of the hallway and bedroom three has 3ft twin beds and a TV. The modern bathroom is spacious and airy and there is also a handy separate WC adjoining. The end of the hallway leads into a spacious kitchen with a light and bright dining area extending off towards the garden. Two large Velux windows, a side window and sliding doors make this an airy and pleasant social space both during food preparation and for groups of family or friends to enjoy quality mealtimes together. The sliding doors from the dining area open into a fully enclosed garden and directly onto a paved area. Four steps lead up to a further suntrap patio with a table and chairs, ideal for relaxing with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. There is also a small lawn adjacent. From the hallway, stairs lead to a surprisingly spacious and inviting lounge. Stunning views across to Braunton Burrows and the sand dunes of Saunton beyond can be enjoyed from the three large Velux windows, whilst further windows along the other side of the room make this a light, bright and delightful environment in which to spend social time together. To the left is a more formal arrangement with a sofa and two tub chairs, books and a choice of board games. From here, you can simply sit, enjoy the views and watch the sunset. The other end of the lounge is purely for comfort and relaxation with two large sofas – both with reclining chairs and footrests. If you can resist admiring the views, there is also a Smart TV. The garage is available for storing surfboards and bikes and the owners are happy for visitors to use wetsuits and bodyboards already stored there.

All in all, this is a great property to spend time with family and friends. You’ll be within a 0.5-mile flat walk to the popular village of Braunton offering a good choice of shops, pubs and restaurants and just 2 miles from a championship golf course and a choice of stunning surfing beaches at Saunton and Croyde (5 miles). The Tarka Trail which follows the course of the old railway line is also easily accessible from the village and is popular with walkers and cyclists (cycle hire is available nearby).

Wonderful dog friendly cottage, great base for exploring the North Devon coastline. The cottage was well equipped, super comfy beds and sofas. The cottage was in a very quiet location.

The property is lovely and clean. The lounge area has super comfortable sofas and is a lovely place to sit in the evenings. However, it can get warm up there! The kitchen has everything you need and the beds were comfortable. Its in a good location for Saunton Sands, Braunton Burrows and the village of Braunton itself although none are easily walkRead moreable. The garden is enclosed and suitable for dogs although, when we went, it needed a tidy up and some general tlc. Im sure thats not normally the case. The neighbour isnt a fan of dogs and isnt afraid to tell you so. If you have very barky dogs, this is potentially a problem. Overall, we had a great time at Pixie Croft. Hide

Pixie Croft is a lovely property and would highly recommend. Very clean and comfortable and very well equipped. Nice, secure garden for our dog too. Lovely location as well, as close to all amenities and yet away from any traffic. It was very peaceful. Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows only a few minutes drive away and are both beautiful (and dog Read morefriendly). Hide

A beautiful property, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. It had everything you needed to enjoy your holiday and we loved it. The table and chairs at the front of the property isnt shown in the photos and is a lovely addition where you can sit and chill. The road into the village from here is often backed up with traffic but its an easy walkRead more and the plus side is youre very close to Saunton Sands and dont have to queue through Braunton to get there! Well definitely visit again. Hide

We had a fabulous stay at Pixie Croft. The property has been very well thought out with great attention to detail with lots of little extras provided. Our days were spent walking and exploring so spending the evenings relaxing on the extremely comfy sofas was perfect. We can't wait to return when visiting Devon again.

We had a wonderful week at Pixie Croft. It was perfect for our needs - a family of 5 with three teenagers and a small dog. It was very clean, nicely furnished and extremely well equipped. We ate in most nights and felt very at home cooking in the kitchen. The upstairs lounge is spacious with very comfy sofas - a really relaxing place to chill afterRead more a day out. Braunton is a great spot, close to the beautiful Saunton Sands which is dog friendly and with a range of shops, cafes and pubs. Our kids did lots of water sports - coasteering at Croyde and stand up paddleboard at Fremington Quay as well as surfing at Saunton. All in very easy reach. Hide
