This 16th-century cottage is perfect for families or groups of friends that are looking for a coastal getaway in a charming village with access to stunning beaches and walking routes. Sleeping six over three peaceful bedrooms and with up to two dogs welcome, no one needs to get left behind here. With the delights of Saunton Sands (2.5 miles) and Putsborough Beach (5 miles) nearby, guests are spoiled for sandy beaches and outdoor adventures.
The cottage has many original quirks that lend to its character, but has also been renovated with contemporary features such as underfloor heating to keep feet (and paws) cosy. Relax in the lounge space with its exposed wooden beams; curl up on the sofa in front of the wood burner and watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Cook up a storm in the farmhouse-style kitchen and dine in the elegant dining room complete with a long table for all to gather around, or eat at the table in the corner of the lounge that looks out through the airy French doors. Completing the ground floor is a WC for all to use. Upstairs, three welcoming bedrooms await; two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room. A quirky bathroom with a free-standing bath completes the cottage’s interior. The outside space offers a charming courtyard and patio for guests to enjoy morning cuppas in the sun or al fresco dinners under the stars.
Once you’ve explored the offerings of Braunton, head to the surf resort of Woolacombe (6 miles) to make use of the village’s wonderful beaches and wide range of shops and cafes. Another nearby village to discover is Appledore (16 miles) which is known for its pretty streets of independent shops and art galleries. Children will love the BIG Sheep (16 miles) and The Milky Way Adventure Park (23 miles), while grown-ups might prefer a visit to Clovelly village (25.5 miles).
