Escape to the coast in this luxurious holiday home, just 1.5 miles from Westward Ho! The property sleeps eight guests and is perfect for large families and groups of friends. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, or enjoy day trips to Bideford (3.5 miles) or Appledore (3 miles). After an action-packed day, unwind in your private hot tub. Guests also have access to a shared games room.

The single-storey cottage is decorated in neutral tones and its high ceilings and dual-aspect windows make it feel bright and spacious.

Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill en-suite, and the final two also have en-suite facilities. The private courtyard is a lovely place to relax, as the sun sets over the ocean. Sip a glass of bubbly in the hot tub or fire up the BBQ for a night of al fresco dining.

Westward Ho! has something for everyone, with amusement arcades, coastal walks, and a fantastic range of independent eateries. It’s also a great place for trying water sports, including surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking.

The setting was stunning being an X stud farm . There's plenty of greenery, The horses that are left are beautiful to watch especially with the sunset as a silhouette.... and some beautiful sunsets.... and of course the hot-tub was a bonus.... but If, you are disabled person their could be steps down from both exits, to the garden area.

A lovely cottage and great to have the hot tub which was appreciated by all the family. Having three en-suite bathrooms was good also plenty of space for little children. One of the best holiday rentals we have stayed in.
