Located only a short twenty-minute walk from Devon's beautiful Staunton Sands beach and tucked away on a quiet countryside road, The Great Honeysuckle is the perfect place for a discerning couple to kick back and relax for a few days. Aside from the beach, the area is great for long walks and birdwatching, and once you're done exploring, you can always return and hit the outdoor hot tub to unwind. Start your day with a lazy brunch prepared in the bright kitchenette, then enjoy a hot cup of coffee on the patio – the decked terrace area is surrounded by green countryside views, that we really love. If you feel like visiting a historical town, then head over to Barnstaple, under a fifteen-minute drive away, for a nice afternoon in the city centre. When – weary from wandering and ensuring you've picked up some local goods on your travels – knock up a hearty meal and get cosy on the sofa with a good book. The interior has a real classic summertime look, with its exposed wood, light blue tones and French doors. Through to the bedroom, you'll find a continuation of the main living space with tasteful artwork and a gingham throw adding to the charm of this home-sweet-home. 

The Great Honeysuckle

Only minutes away from the Royal North Devon Golf Club, this home – coincidentally built by the same designer in 1865 – is the perfect option for large groups looking to explore the Devon coastline. 

And as much as this is a haven for golfing enthusiasts, it’s also the ideal location for beach lovers who get to spend sun-drenched days on Westward Ho! Beach. You can see those very shores from the perched hot tub in the backyard. Ease yourself into the warm water with a glass of wine and enjoy the views as you relax after a day of activity. 

Inside, find plush furnishings in muted greys, greens, and blues that come alive in the natural light of the large windows. There’s an understated elegance that works beautifully alongside the modern and homely elements of this home. You can probably see yourself at the kitchen counter, enjoying a cup of coffee as you wait for the rest of the group to join you at the dining table for breakfast. 

We recommend at least one long, luxurious bubble bath in the clawfoot bath, and why not savour a glass of Prosecco as you take in the views from the small window right next to the tub?

Midnight Velvet

Just a short walk from Westward Ho! beach, and with private access to Northam Burrows Country Park, this home is made for embracing the outdoors. Boasting an upside-down layout, you’ll find the living area on the upper floor of this coastal home – ideal for making the most of the countryside and distant sea views. With a cosy garden and balcony, alfresco dining is a must in warmer months. There's also a private hot tub for pure relaxation. That said, with hikes on your doorstep, the Royal North Devon Golf Club next door, and a blue flag beach that’s a haven for surfers, windsurfers, kayakers, and dog walkers, getting out and about locally is a must. 

Spirit of Nature

Perfect for a couple’s retreat, this home is all about switching off from everyday life and enjoying the great outdoors. The studio layout gives easy access to everything needed for a comfortable stay, while the private terrace is just the spot for unwinding over an alfresco meal. Enjoy woodland walks from your doorstep, or jump in the car for adventures further afield. Within a twenty-minute drive, you can reach the beaches in Combe Martin or Exmoor National Park – here, you have the best of both worlds. 

Woodland Willow

To be honest, we knew we’d like this north Devon home when we heard about the country pub just two minutes' walk away but when we got here: wow! This is an immaculate and spotless cottage, newly renovated and decorated to provide everything guests need for a friends or family escape. We were particularly impressed with the number of living spaces – a family room, conservatory and study (for those working from home) as well as a living room and kitchen/diner. And there’s a large patio and cottage garden out back, for bright breakfasts and sunny afternoons. The hosts have thought of every eventuality: for when it’s raining there’s the smart TV, DVD player, movie library and games collection, while the wood-burner fireplace and newly installed underfloor heating ensure you’ll feel snug even on cold nights. Kids are especially well catered for with travel cot, step stool, high chair and junior dining chair as well as games, books and bath toys.The home is located between Torrington and Bideford in Devon, giving you access to walks across the rolling hills, short drives on to Dartmoor, and bucket-and-spade jaunts to the seaside. And, of course, there's that great, super-local village pub... If you’re looking for a staycation that’s a cut above the ordinary, this is a good ‘un. 

Otters’ Wood

If you're ready to escape into nature's embrace, then this charming lodge nestled in the heart of Devon’s green countryside is an ideal choice for you. This minimalist affair, with lovely views in every direction, is a great refuge for a few days of rest and relaxation –  especially since it's equipped with a big hot tub outside.

When you're not soaking in it and admiring the scenery, the countryside paths will take you deeper into pristine nature where you can breathe in the healthy countryside air. When you've had your fill, return to your holiday escape for a nice cup of hot cocoa on the luxurious sofa and an evening of movies to be enjoyed on the big flat-screen TV. Fall sleep with ease and wake up refreshed and rested, with the country vistas helping you to welcome a new day. 

Even though there are lots of lovely places to eat in the neighbouring towns, you can just as easily opt for staying in and cooking for yourself — there's plenty of tasty local produce available in the village, and the well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up something delicious a breeze. 


Our Cup of Tea

This luxurious holiday home is just a seven-minute walk to the village of Georgeham, where you can enjoy a pint of ale in a traditional pub. But in this bright and beautiful lodge, rural life meets modern sensibilities. As soon as you arrive, passing through rolling green fields and grazing sheep, the first thing you’ll notice is the spectacular outdoor space. Framing your gorgeous blue wooden home is a lush lawn, a pale wood decking with outdoor seating, and our favourite feature – a traditional, wooden outdoor hot tub. But before you jump in to start soaking the night away, it’s also worth exploring the indoors. With floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors, this home really allows you to bring the outside in. Plush velvet chairs and a cushy sofa bring a softness to the otherwise minimalist living space – a perfect setting for a warm Earl Grey after a long day on the windswept beaches of Devon. While these dramatic coastlines are of course a major attraction of staying in this area, you can also find some of the county’s best dog-friendly beaches, such as Woolacombe Beach, just ten minutes away. Perfect for you and the pup.

Everyday Luxuries

Summers spent at the seaside live long in the memory of families, and this home will be another one to add to the memory bank. Live out your own childhood nostalgia of building sandcastles on sandy shores and sunny walks along the coastline. Being situated between the popular Devon destinations of Woolacoombe and Ilfracombe, you'll be in a prime location to take full advantage of a seaside holiday here. Spend ten minutes wandering the local coast path to Grunta Beach where the turquoise water gleams like blue crystals in the sun, or make the six minute-drive to Woolacombe for a classic English day out at the beach on a huge stretch of sand with sea waves to jump over. 

English cottages don't come much more traditional than this one with its characterful wooden beams and doors. With a wood burner and garden oasis to enjoy, the whole family will love returning here after a day out on the sand. Pick up some freshly caught fish & chips at the shop next door and live out your seaside nostalgia. While this home is traditional in many ways, we can't help but admire the handmade copper bathtub in the master bedroom – a real touch of modern luxury in a classic English home.

Seaside Nostalgia

Delivering knockout sea views of Woolacombe Beach, the setting of this detached, family home is hard to beat. The panoramas from the free-flowing living room and alfresco terraces are just as impressive in the light-filled bedrooms. However, we'll leave you to decide who lucks out on the main bedroom suite with a private sea-facing veranda for morning cuppas. When it's time to hit the beach for morning dog walks, Woolcombe's three-mile stretch of golden sands is just five minutes away on foot. As are the village's bustling restaurants and cafes for when tummies begin to rumble.

Comes in Waves

If you’re looking for a bohemian escape in Cornwall, then look no further. This rustic hideaway is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple looking to get in touch with the raw beauty of the Cornish countryside and who care most about the luxuries of the soul – great music, fantastic light, the roar of the waves. This snazzy barn conversion has bucketloads of character and soulful perks, including a piano, a record player with a vast collection of vinyl, and its own mini sauna. Throw in the super-king sized bed, a brand new bathroom (with bathtub) and kitchen, its location (snuggled away in ancient woodland), the fact that it’s just a five-minute drive to the nearest pub and beach at Crackington Haven, and you’ve got a rural retreat you’ll want to keep quiet about, so you can keep it for yourself. 

Musician's Escape

This characterful cottage will provide the perfect backdrop for an idyllic Devon break. Set in the heart of West Buckland, the home features classic cottage decor, such as a wood burner fireplace and solid wooden furniture, together with modern amenities that make staying here totally effortless. It’s also the ideal holiday home for furry friends, with a stair gate, dog crates and a large, fully-fenced garden where pups can run wild. There are fields and forests aplenty on one side of the home, with the heart of the village on the other, making this the ideal cottage for an idyllic countryside stay.

You can cook up a hearty full English breakfast in the stylish kitchen, and dine together around your quaint table and chairs. Sip on your Nespresso coffee out in the garden while you listen to the dawn chorus. Head out on one of the many country hikes that are right on your doorstep, and find a friendly pub to stop in for a pint. In sunnier months, make the drive to some of Devon’s most beautiful beaches to enjoy sea swimming and sunbathing. In the evenings, light your wood burner fireplace and curl up on the sofa with a movie and a hot chocolate.

The Rambler's Rest

Make the most of the outdoor space at this home by enjoying alfresco meals on the decking area and treating yourself to indulgent dips in the hot tub. This pretty lodge is surrounded by fields and farmland, making it an excellent location from which to explore the Devon countryside. There are public footpaths and bridleways within walking distance, and many picturesque trails to follow within the surrounding area. The North Devon coast is also just over two miles away, meaning you can hop in a car to reach the surfing hub of Saunton Sands, the pretty dunes of Croyde Beach and the colourful beach huts of Woolacombe. And, when you come back home after your adventures, there's no better place to curl up than in the wood-panelled living room – we recommend savouring some Devon scones with cream and jam as you do.
