Property code: OC-PIXIEC

This deceptively spacious property for six is situated in a quiet residential area of Braunton. The clever design utilises the whole of the first floor as the living room takes advantage of the far-reaching dune views.

Steps lead up to the front door, past the front garden which is laid to lawn and many assorted and well-maintained shrub borders. You’ll find yourself in the hallway with slate flooring and plenty of space for coats and shoes. The main bedroom is off to the right and comprises a super-king bed zip n link option into two singles on request and a large window with views over the front garden. A double bedroom is on the left of the hallway and bedroom three has 3ft twin beds and a TV. The modern bathroom is spacious and airy and there is also a handy separate WC adjoining. The end of the hallway leads into a spacious kitchen with a light and bright dining area extending off towards the garden. Two large Velux windows, a side window and sliding doors make this an airy and pleasant social space both during food preparation and for groups of family or friends to enjoy quality mealtimes together. The sliding doors from the dining area open into a fully enclosed garden and directly onto a paved area. Four steps lead up to a further suntrap patio with a table and chairs, ideal for relaxing with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. There is also a small lawn adjacent. From the hallway, stairs lead to a surprisingly spacious and inviting lounge. Stunning views across to Braunton Burrows and the sand dunes of Saunton beyond can be enjoyed from the three large Velux windows, whilst further windows along the other side of the room make this a light, bright and delightful environment in which to spend social time together. To the left is a more formal arrangement with a sofa and two tub chairs, books and a choice of board games. From here, you can simply sit, enjoy the views and watch the sunset. The other end of the lounge is purely for comfort and relaxation with two large sofas – both with reclining chairs and footrests. If you can resist admiring the views, there is also a Smart TV. The garage is available for storing surfboards and bikes and the owners are happy for visitors to use wetsuits and bodyboards already stored there.

All in all, this is a great property to spend time with family and friends. You’ll be within a 0.5-mile flat walk to the popular village of Braunton offering a good choice of shops, pubs and restaurants and just 2 miles from a championship golf course and a choice of stunning surfing beaches at Saunton and Croyde (5 miles). The Tarka Trail which follows the course of the old railway line is also easily accessible from the village and is popular with walkers and cyclists (cycle hire is available nearby).

We had a wonderful week at Pixie Croft. It was perfect for our needs - a family of 5 with three teenagers and a small dog. It was very clean, nicely furnished and extremely well equipped. We ate in most nights and felt very at home cooking in the kitchen. The upstairs lounge is spacious with very comfy sofas - a really relaxing place to chill afterRead more a day out. Braunton is a great spot, close to the beautiful Saunton Sands which is dog friendly and with a range of shops, cafes and pubs. Our kids did lots of water sports - coasteering at Croyde and stand up paddleboard at Fremington Quay as well as surfing at Saunton. All in very easy reach. Hide

I have to admit the pictures dont do this property justice. Even though they are good. It excelled our expectations. The owners had supplied everything, they had catered for every eventuality. I have been staying in holiday rentals for over 30 years and have never been in one that was so well equipped. The property itself was immaculate and exceptiRead moreonally luxurious. I would recommend this property without hesitation and Im very much looking forward to staying there again next year. Thank you for making our holiday perfect in every way. Even for our beloved pooch. Hide
