While away hours at a time gazing out towards the golden sands of Woolacombe Beach from this group holiday home in beautiful coastal Devon. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom abode offers sumptuous, stylish accommodation in an enviable location with panoramic views. From here amble just 0.5 miles down to the sand to swim or surf. Pick up the South West Coast Path and follow it for a stretch. Plan long walks through picturesque Exmoor National Park, 5.5 miles away.

Return from days on the beach and trips out across Devon to leave your walking boots or flip-flops in the hall. Spread out into the chic open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has beamed ceilings and a flagstone floor, to really make the most of the space and the different sections. Open the French doors on summer days or recline on one of the two comfortable seating areas, each with a Smart TV, during the autumn or winter months. Challenge each other to table football tournaments and take turns at whipping up delicious holiday meals to enjoy at the table. A king-size bedroom and a twin can also be found on the ground floor, together with a family shower room and a utility room. Another twin and a super-king-size, with far-reaching views, are up on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. From up here you can also access the fabulous balcony, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a chilled glass of fizz on fine mornings and evenings. Enjoy the space offered by the terrace too, where you can cook out on the BBQ and lose yourselves in the sea views.

Make trips into Ilfracombe, 5 miles away, to spend time on the historic Tunnels Beaches. You can also potter in the interesting shops, dine out and visit the aquarium. The impressive sands of Woolacombe Beach are half a mile away for enjoying great beach days, but there are even more wonderful beaches along this coast including Croyde Beach, Saunton Sands and Grunta Beach, all within 8 miles.

Worth booking for the view alone! Really comfortable and well appointed accommodation. The owner is very helpful and responsive to queries, and we appreciated the cream tea and cake on arrival. We would be happy to book again.

This is a very well equipped cottage. Its one of the best equipped kitchens weve had, there are actual sharp knives! It is comfortable and spacious. The location is also very good with amazing views. Woolacombe and several beaches are walkable from the house as are other walks. We didnt need to use the car. What a bonus. The one issue might be thRead moreat the lane to the house and on to Woolacombe is very narrow with no passing points but its manageable. The owner was very helpful and the welcome pack was very welcome. Cream tea on arrival was very welcome. I highly recommend The Stables. We were a multigenerational group with a dog all had a great time. Hide

We loved our stay at the Stables, perfect for a multigenerational family holiday as there was a lot of room for us to all spread out. The views and sunset were amazing, we felt very chilled. Out of the house the beaches were the highlight, particularly as we managed to pick a hot week. We walked across the fields to the smaller Barricane beach withRead more its rock pools but decided to drive down to Woolacombe beach due to all our beach gear! A surfing lesson just topped off the week. If it was cooler I think we would have done more costal walking as there was access nearby. I would definitely recommend a stay in the Stables. Hide

Lovely views from the lounge & dining room & the outside terrace. Nice walks down to Woolacombe. Rather steep walk back up. Comfortable holiday for a family of six or eight.
