Surfing, cycling and long, luxurious soaks in the bubbling hot tub are all on the agenda at this annexe-style retreat – a romantic escape designed for two. Light-filled and welcoming, the lodge offers plenty of space to relax in every season, with cosy interiors perfect for snuggling up after bracing walks along the South West Coast Path, and a delightful garden complete with private decking and a summerhouse. From this wonderful base, you can explore both Devon and Cornwall, with nearby Welcombe Mouth Beach (1.5 miles) straddling the border between the two counties.

Whitewashed wooden panelling and nautical artwork give this charming holiday home a fresh, coastal feel throughout. Enjoy slow breakfasts, leisurely lunches and cosy evenings in the open-plan living space, where a contemporary kitchen, spacious dining area and comfortable lounge come together. A plush sofa and cushioned armchair sit opposite a Smart TV for relaxed evenings in, while French doors open onto the private patio and garden beyond. Furnished with outdoor seating, a hot tub and a summerhouse, the outdoor space is a joy to use, regardless of the season. Back inside, a short hallway leads to a comfortable double bedroom and a refreshing shower room. Private parking for one car is also provided.

Set within the stunning Hartland Heritage Coast, the property is perfectly placed for hiking, cycling, and beach days. Pack the surfboards and head to Sandymouth Beach (10 miles), a popular yet unspoilt surfing spot with dramatic scenery. Venture north along the Devon coast to discover the charming seaside towns of Westward Ho! (17 miles), Appledore (19 miles) and Bideford (16.5 miles), or cross into Cornwall to explore Bude (11.5 miles), known for its sea pool, sandy beaches, and inviting cafes and restaurants.

We had the most wonderful stay here and honestly couldnt recommend it enough. The location is absolutely beautiful peaceful, quiet and immaculately clean, with the most amazing views. Watching both the sunrise and sunset from the decking each day was such a highlight of our trip. The hot tub was spotless and so relaxing, especially in the eveningsRead more watching the stars through the trees. The thoughtful touches from the owners made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We were greeted with fresh scones, cream and jam from the local bakery, along with Prosecco, crisps and cookies, which was such a lovely surprise after travelling. The location was perfect for exploring too. Welcombe Mouth Beach is only around an 8-minute drive away and is stunning for sunset walks, theres a lovely local pub just 5 minutes away, a Co-op nearby, and Bude, Cornwall is only about 25 minutes away for beaches, shops and restaurants. Barrie was a fantastic host so friendly and welcoming, always happy to chat and give recommendations on places to visit and things to do locally. It really felt personal and genuine. He also made himself available throughout our stay if we needed anything at all. We accidentally left some clothes behind when we came home, and Barrie kindly posted them back to us without hesitation, which we really appreciated. Everything about this stay felt relaxing, thoughtful and special. Well definitely be returning in the future. Hide
