Set between Northam and Westward Ho! (each around 0.5 miles), this holiday dwelling makes a lovely base for solo travellers or couples keen for seaside break in North Devon. It’s an annexe attached to the owner’s home, with its own private courtyard for you to enjoy. Head to Westward Ho! to join the South West Coast Path (1 mile) for scenic walking routes of varying difficulty. Northam Burrows Country Park (2 miles) is also a fantastic spot for fresh-air strolls all year round.
This stylish, single-level retreat is bright and welcoming, with neutral colour schemes and plenty of light thanks to its large French doors. On arrival, leave your coats and shoes in the welcoming hallway before leading through to the kitchen and lounge area, which comes with a comfortable corner sofa for relaxing after a day out. There’s a Smart TV for cosy evenings in, and a dining area for lingering over meals and planning tomorrow’s adventure. The king-size bedroom has space for a cot if needed, and features a second Smart TV for indulgent mornings or late-night films. A chic shower room with a shower and WC completes the interior. Outside, your private split-level courtyard patio is a real highlight, with attractive planting, ambient lighting and comfortable seating across both levels – lovely for soaking up the sunshine or fresh-air dining. You’ll have parking for up to two cars on the easy-access driveway.
Locally, visit the Northam Burrows Centre (1 mile) for a bite to eat and to learn more about the local wildlife, or tee off at the historic Royal North Devon Golf Club (1 mile), known as the oldest golf course in England. The charming fishing villages of Appledore and Instow are both within 5 miles – fab for exploring scenic harbours and cosy cafés. For a day out surrounded by beautiful planting and landscaped grounds, head to RHS Garden Rosemoor (10.5 miles).
