Property code: OC-DOLPC

Positioned in a desirable location in the heart of the charming village of Braunton, this delightful 18th-century cottage has been lovingly renovated, blending original features with modern and contemporary styling. It is the ideal cottage in which to relax as a family after a busy day exploring the miles of scenic coastline nearby.

Inside, the cottage blends characterful charm with modern conveniences and boasts stylish yet welcoming décor. The main door opens into a cosy lounge with a stunning fireplace housing a wood burner – perfect for warming your toes after blustery beach walks. The lounge leads onto an inner hallway off which is an impressive wooden staircase to the first-floor accommodation. Beyond the hall is a modern and well-equipped kitchen and open-plan dining area for family meals together. There is a handy butler sink provided for washing out wetsuits and outdoor gear. Open the stable door onto the enclosed garden which is a real suntrap – there is plenty of outdoor seating giving the option of al fresco dining with pretty, outdoor lighting when needed. From the hall, climb the stairs to the two attractive bedrooms – a good size double bedroom and a comfy twin bedroom – which both share the stylish family bathroom with a huge walk-in shower.

Braunton is renowned for its wide selection of cafes, restaurants and independent shops within the village centre, which is only 100 metres from the cottage. If you dream of a holiday by the sea, drive the 3 miles to Saunton Sands which boasts a huge golden beach backed by the sand dunes of Braunton Burrows and is a draw for surfers and dog walkers all year round. The sandy beaches of Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe are all within 7 miles, and there is no shortage of surf shops in the vicinity to hire bodyboards, surfboards and wetsuits.  Parking in nearby car park or on nearby street.

Dolphin Cottage was perfectly located close to all amenities of Braunton. It was warm, clean and well equipped. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future.

Dolphin Cottage is a very well equipped holiday cottage with a nice garden to sit out in. It is an excellent base to walk the south west coast path as there is a bus stop 100 yds from the cottage, which we used to get to Croyde, Woolacombe, Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Bideford. We didn't need to use our car at all the whole week. Excellent communicaRead moretion with the housekeeper who contacted us in advance to let us know that we could check in early. Our only suggestion for improvement is to add some curtains or a blackout blind to the existing blinds in the master bedroom as we woke up at dawn most days due to the sunny weather. Hide
