Woolacombe, with its famous three-mile surfing beach, shops, pubs and eateries, is home to this sleek modern property, an elegant base for a classic North Devon beach holiday. Backing onto the famous Tarka Trail, and close to Exmoor’s wonderful scenery and inspiring views of the South West Coast Path, walkers are spoilt for choice. You’re just 2 miles from Woolacombe beach as well as an easy drive from many of the area’s attractions.

With one double and one twin bedroom downstairs, and a king-size upstairs, it’s ideal for multi-generation family groups. Both downstairs bedrooms have an en-suite shower/WC, and there is another bathroom with shower over bath. A separate laundry room has a freezer and wetsuit drying space. Overall, it’s fully-equipped for a hassle-free holiday with great attention to detail and coastal artworks providing homely touches. The spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room opens to the rear through large glass doors, linking the comfortable lounge area to the garden with its mature trees, patio seating and lawn. There are sun loungers and a BBQ so adults can relax and enjoy the sunshine while children run and play on the lawn.

What better way to get into holiday mode than strolling on the beach as you enjoy one of Woolacombe’s renowned ice-creams? Or why not take the plunge and learn to ride the waves at the friendly surf school. Barnstaple’s shops, eateries and pannier market are 12 miles away, and for a culture fix visit Broomhill Sculpture Garden near Muddiford (10 miles). Exmoor Zoo is 14 miles away through beautiful countryside, and part way along this route is the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (10 miles) where you can experience a different type of fauna.

This is a comfortable, well-equipped cottage in pleasant surroundings with ample parking and good access to nearby places of interest. The short drive into Woolacombe was easy. The nearby campsite had a well-stocked shop and it is possible to buy a day pass in order to use their facilities (pool, shows, etc..) although we didn't need to use that, bRead moreut it's helpful to know for any rainy days.

Would highly recommend this comfortable spacious holiday cottage with its open plan layout great for all the family to enjoy and spend time together. A welcome basket of goodies was much appreciated. It is positioned near to many places of interest and places to eat. Must visit award winning Squires Fish and Chip Restaurant in Braunton and The KingRead mores Arms at Georgeham for a traditional roast .must book. Our grandchildren enjoyed The Big Sheep and walking up to Baggy Point. Would love to return. Hide

We had a lovely weeks stay. The cottage was spacious and in a nice quiet spot well positioned for exploring. The garage across the road, the Nisa shop and the old mill pub were all in walking distance and the Depot pub up the road was really good. The cottage was well equipped and the views over the fields were relaxing in the evening.

Positives: Great modern house, lounge and large window fantastic. Very clean. Negatives: nearest pub closed down, and walk to Woolacombe is on a busy road with no footpath for a large section. There is a walk through fields, however, this is quite tricky for elderly and a pram is a no no.
