Situated just outside Northam Burrows Country Park, less than 1 mile from Westward Ho! Beach, this stunning property promises an unforgettable escape to guests. Spacious and inviting with a contemporary coastal style, this holiday let is an opportunity to escape busy daily life and spend time in this charming traditional seaside town. Wake up surrounded by stylish and fresh decor, head up to the kitchen and make your morning coffee catching glimpses of the sea from the window.

Whether you’re off down the coast path towards Abbotsham Cliffs (2.5 miles) or you’re soaking up the sun from the balcony off the living area, you’re never far from the outdoors here. The interiors have a luxurious feel, making use of whites, greys and yellows throughout. The reverse-level style of the property means you’re surrounded by vaulted ceilings and lovely views in the bright and airy open-plan living space, but draw the curtains at night and it becomes a cosy haven to relax in after a long day out exploring. Bubble away in the private hot tub in the garden or soak up the sun in the sun loungers before dining alfresco on the superb patio looking out across the lawn.

When you’ve spent enough time in Westward Ho!, take a trip to the cobbled streets of Clovelly (13 miles) where the pretty harbour, independent shops and gardens will delight visitors of all ages. Saunton Sands is another beach that will be a hit with surfers and paddleboarders, while little thrill-seekers will love the BIG Sheep (3.5 miles) and the Milky Way Adventure Park (10.5 miles). For something different, go gnome spotting in the wildflower meadows at the Gnome Reserve (12.5 miles).

House was beautiful had all mod cons. The upside down living aspect was very pleasant when you could sit out on the balcony. The hot tub was amazing at relieving those aches and pains at the end of the day! Great facilities, comfortable seating and beds, spacious areas and the bathrooms were very pleasant too. .Sky tv was an extra bonus.
