Sitting in a stylish complex of properties just 1.5 miles outside the pretty seaside town of Westward Ho!, this lavish coastal retreat sleeps six people across three bedrooms – making it the ideal accommodation option for families and groups of friends who appreciate luxurious surroundings in a convenient setting. Escape with your loved ones to this chic single-storey home to spend happy days strolling along the beach and relaxing evenings soaking in the private hot tub.

When you enter this single-storey holiday home, you can’t help but notice the stylish decor. Make your way to the open-plan lounge/kitchen and take a moment to soak up the chic vibe, or head outside to the private courtyard and stretch out on a sun lounger. You’ll find everything you need in the kitchen to rustle up some dinner for your loved ones, and you can gather everyone at the dining table to eat. Alternatively, head outside to fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp and enjoy a well-deserved dip in the private hot tub, or head to the lounge to slip onto a sofa in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire. At the end of the day, you have three lovely bedrooms to choose from.

Westward Ho! (0.5 miles) is the perfect place to try your hand at surfing. With its relatively shallow water and no hidden rocks, it’s a great place to learn, and you’ll find a few surf schools in the village. Alternatively, you can spend a great day exploring the rock pools or taking a swim in the village’s Victorian Rock Seawater Pool. Further afield, spend a wonderful day soaking up the ancient maritime atmosphere in the fishing village of Clovelly (11.5 miles).

We had a lovely stay at Frankies Cottage and would love to stay again one day! We loved everything about the cottage! The furniture, the lay out, the decor etc!! There was nothing we didn't like! The play barn was really good. We got a lot of use out of the splash pool. Our 3 year old granddaughter started to learn to swim in there! It was lovely tRead moreo be able to use the hot tub & have gowns & slippers supplied. Also a big thanks for the cookies! Kind gesture!! Hide

This was a beautiful rental very spacious we loved it. The grounds & garden needs some TLC and you can't walk into Westward Ho it's to far you need the car. Expected the cafe/bar to be open more than 1 afternoon which was a shame. On paper it was a dream place but in reality it wasn't.

Loved our Cottage and the owners were really pleasant and helpful. Was great for the little one with the play barn and having the horses and chickens near by was great. Would not hesitate to come back again in the future! Thank you Westward Living
