Just got back from a week at Vardons. The house was amazing and very clean. It was everything we hoped for. The location was great for us as we could walk into Braunton and the beach was very close by. Would highly recommend booking.

Perfect location for easy access to the N Devon coastline. Immaculately clean, warm, a very comfortable home from home. Lovely linen, comfortable beds. Safe enclosed garden area for the dogs. Friendly, helpful owner, Guy. Braunton easily walkable for local shops - highly recommended

The photos hardly do this property justice. The house is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The garden, although small is a delight, completely private and dog safe. Its in a perfect location for Saunton Beach for surfing or body boarding , Braunton Burrows for walking, Crow Point for fishing and the Tarka Trail for cycling. Having BraunRead moreton within walking distance is also very handy. Guy, our host was very helpful Hide

We found Vardons to be spotlessly clean and very well equipped. More so than many other rentals we have stayed in. It is a very comfortable and warm house with good sofas to relax on after a long day of walking on beaches and the coastal path. Good dining room to relax in too. The rear garden is enclosed and safe for dogs. I have just made another Read morebooking for Vardons as we liked it. Hide

A very well positioned, beautifully furnished property. Extremely spacious for 8 people and we enjoyed the games room very much. Nice touches included the wine fridge, great glass selection, good coffee machine and bbq. The cottage is very well positioned for great walks, fabulous beaches and pubs & restaurants too.

Vardons is a beautiful house in a great location for the beach as well as for a short walk into the centre of Braunton. It's the "right" (beach) side of the busy road junction so you can easily avoid the daily traffic. The facilities were perfect for our group - two families of four. We weren't lucky with the weather, so the games room and space weRead morere much appreciated. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay here again. Hide
