A beautiful couples' retreat in the wilds of Cornwall, this stunning roundhouse is perfect for those looking to spend some quality time together. Set in its own private garden, we imagine you'll be spending most of your time outdoors during your stay. As lovely as the industrial-chic interior space is – the underfloor heating is an absolute delight – it's outside that really grabs your attention. Out here, you'll find a Scandinavian-style wood-fired hot tub, a covered alfresco kitchen and a fire pit that's perfect for cosying up around on cool, clear nights for a bit of stargazing. You can continue keeping an eye on the heavens once you retire to bed, thanks to the thoughtful addition of a porthole window at the top of the roof. Of course, you're welcome to make full use of the shared facilities, including the games, TV and treatment rooms, an outdoor pizza oven and a communal campfire. So, whether you're sinking into the hot tub for a relaxing soak, cooking a meal on the barbecue for a long alfresco lunch, or reading a book by the wood-burning stove, embrace the chilled-out pace of life at this glamping retreat.

Step inside this stunning country cottage nestled in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This home feels like a perfect rural getaway, with a vast garden and the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coastline just a short away. It's an idyllic place to unwind with family and connect to the great outdoors, with a host of cliffside walking trails and Cornish beaches on your doorstep. 

Inside, you’ll find a characterful space that features traditional beamed ceilings that complement the modern and comforting furnishings. The home has a dreamy country kitchen with a breakfast island for cooking, socialising and eating together. After preparing a family feast with the produce you picked up from the local farm shop,  head to the formal dining room, where you can savour your culinary achievements in an elevated setting. There are plenty more communal areas for family and friends to gather too – including the cosy TV room and formal sitting room, complete with crackling fires – perfect for colder nights. 

Stepping outside, you'll find a gorgeous shared garden that includes a dining table as well as a barbecue area. When you’re not making the most of the garden, there’s plenty to see nearby – the scenic town of Bude is close by and has a host of boutique shops, tea rooms and excellent pubs. Spend a day on one of the local sand beaches or enjoy a swim in the rock-lined lido, Bude Sea Pool, on Summerleaze Beach.

This stunning roundhouse will bring your soul to life. Reconnecting with nature is inevitable in this beautiful glamping pod but done so, in luxury. Surrounded by idyllic countryside, star gaze the night away keeping warm in the confines of the private hot tub – just don’t forget the bubbly. For a little evening alfresco, the rustic picnic bench is a lovely spot to soak up the last of the daylight as you indulge in some nibbles – retreat inside as the temperature drops and you’ll feel as though you’ve been wrapped in a hug. The open-plan space creates a wonderful social atmosphere, where you can live in comfort. With large French doors in front of your bed, enjoy your morning cuppa with a view from under the duvet – or lie back and enjoy the blue sky through the porthole skylight directly above you. 

If you prefer a slower pace of life, this slice of escapism will be for you. The on-site facilities ensure you have everything for a rustic yet convenient stay – coffee from a horse box, anyone? In true Cornwall style, the day wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the beach. Sink your toes into the soft sand and you’ll feel your worries blow away with the refreshing sea breeze.

Welcome Hamper

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

If you’re looking for a quirky home for a romantic trip – or even a family adventure – without giving up on a little rustic luxury, this modern yurt just a short eleven-minute drive from Bude and its sandy beaches ticks all the right boxes. Unsurprisingly, the hot tub is our favourite feature – we can picture evening soaks gazing up at the stars with a glass of fizz in hand. A close second is its cosy interiors kept nice and toasty by the wood-burning stove and underfloor heating. This one's a real comforter. A modern kitchen and communal pizza oven make it a great option for budding chefs planning to roll up their sleeves and rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed alfresco on the picnic table. Whether you're inside or out this spot offers space for a bit of rest and relaxation away from all the fuss back home. And when you're feeling exploratory, discover the South West Coast Path and its stunning scenery, only a thirty-minute drive away – just remember to pack your walking boots for when you arrive. 

Embers & Steam

The perfect Cornish break is all about reconnecting with the great outdoors, and that’s what you get here. Whether you're planning a romantic coastal break or a family adventure, you can relax and unwind at this Mongolian-ger-style cabin. Handpicked furnishings allude to subtle industrial style, however, what wowed us are the modern amenities, delivering twenty-first-century comfort. Feel nice and toasty with underfloor heating and the cosy wood burner, while the kitchen is compact yet perfectly equipped. Make the most of the picnic table with alfresco meals at every opportunity, and if you are feeling adventurous you can even fire up the outdoor pizza oven. Once the sun goes down, sink into the wood-fired hot tub with a glass of bubbles and admire the stars. There's a nearby farm shop for freshly laid eggs and ground coffee, and a street food van on-site if you don't fancy cooking. If you do crave civilisation, this place is only a short drive from some of Cornwall’s best-loved beaches and the popular seaside resort of Bude.

Nestled on the North Cornwall coast, close to the Devon border, this stunning roundhouse offers an idyllic retreat far removed from the everyday hustle and bustle. 

Set just outside the surfing hotspot of Bude, this wooden roundhouse offers the excitement of camping with all the creature comforts of home. Spend sun-kissed summer afternoons tucking into relaxed lunches on the picnic bench and treating yourself to dips in the hot tub, equipped with a metal privacy screen so you can soak in peace.

Inside, the unique roundhouse design comes to the fore, with a well-equipped kitchen gently curving around the wall, a rustic round dining table, and a double bed set beneath a shining porthole skylight. Elsewhere, the roundhouse is equipped with one further bedroom and a sleek bathroom with a vast walk-in shower.

The site is equipped with a converted horse trailer turned coffee shop so you can dose up on caffeine as the kids help with feeding the farm animals. Your hosts are blessed with over a decade's worth of local knowledge and are more than happy to share their favourite local haunts with guests, so whether you're after a local butcher to stock up for a barbecue, a bougie brunch spot, or a great local pub, they've got you covered.

The Turn of the Tide

A fourteen-minute drive from the striking shores of the Hartland Heritage Coast, this rural escape really puts the ‘treat’ in retreat. It’s impossible not to be charmed by this wooden roundhouse in East Thorne. Its cylindrical design and delightful gardens bring a magical vibe that's sure to start off your holiday with a smile. Step inside to find a gorgeous wood-beamed ceiling and wood-burning stove in the main living space. While this hearth is the perfect setting for cosying up together on chilly evenings, there are even more activities for sunny days. Your private, outdoor area is spectacular – play games on the lawn, savour alfresco lunches on the picnic bench, grill up dinner on the barbecue, set up a campfire, and (best of all) soak in the hot tub under the stars all night.  We think a glass of champagne wouldn’t go amiss in this luxury setting. When you’ve spent enough time in the tub, head inside to lie back on the sumptuous bed and look up – find yet another stargazing spot via the ceiling porthole. Keep your eyes peeled for shooting stars.

Through the Leaves

A vision of laid-back luxury, this beautiful boutique roundhouse is ready to welcome you into a world of complete rest and relaxation. A cosy open-plan layout creates a romantic first impression inside with a beamed vaulted ceiling topped with a skylight – ideal for falling asleep beneath the twinkle of the night’s sky. We love the kitchenette’s elegant blue cabinetry, while the bathroom’s stunning tiled shower and clawfoot tub invite endless pampering after a day in the great outdoors. Speaking of outside, this is where this home truly shines. The private hot tub beckons a starlit soak with a glass of bubbly, the daybed is ideal for sunny afternoons with a good book, and the table and chairs are ready to host alfresco barbecue feasts as you look out onto rolling countryside views. Away from your home, the seaside town of Bude is a twelve-minute drive away, the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast is fifteen minutes away by car, while all around you, beautiful walking and cycling trails through the Cornish country wait to be explored.

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

Based in Westward Ho!, there's plenty to love about this modern house, suitable for up to six visitors and two dogs. Wake up in the morning to salty sea air, fuel up at the breakfast table, and do the twenty-five-minute walk to a pristine and award-winning Blue Flag beach legendary for its surf. A six-minute drive away on the coastline you'll find the Royal North Devon Golf Club – worth it for the sport as much as the glorious views and rich history. 

Back at home, the highlight has to be the double-height living room with its glorious Cathedral-style windows looking out to the private garden. This spot is positively glowing with natural light during the day. Beyond the glass doors, you’ll find a private slice of lawn and a patio with plush rattan sofas for sundowners. If you’re feeling playful there’s a ping pong table in the garage, or you can settle on the sofa with one of the books from the mini-library. And, if you venture out into the town, you'll find independent pubs and restaurants, artisanal shops, and tea rooms to enjoy.

This fantastic Victorian villa in the English Riviera is the perfect home for family holidays. Located in Paignton, this home is only a short walk from many great activities including Paignton Beach – a nineteen-minute walk away – where you will find the pier, the Geopark, a fairy cove, pirates bay adventure golf, and even a multiplex cinema perfect for those typical rainy British days. What’s more, Splashdown water park is a short nine-minute walk away and Torbay Leisure Centre – with its pool, gym and squash courts – is reachable in twelve minutes on foot.

Your little ones will love letting off steam in the home’s large, enclosed garden too, with the kid's swing, trampoline, treehouse, football goal and pirate boat. Meanwhile, you can relax on the garden bench with a good book or enjoy an afternoon Devonshire cream tea alfresco at the outdoor dining area. 

When it’s time to come indoors, head from the decked veranda through the French doors into the living space. Curl up on the sofa to watch a family film and even make it cosier with the wood-burning stove, which can be lit for additional warmth or roasting marshmallows. Your little ones hopefully won’t object to bedtime with the twin rooms one of which is Star Wars-themed and the other which features a dollhouse mounted on the wall and a whimsical fairy wall hanging to decorate. We can’t promise they’ll want to stop playing and go to sleep though.

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

Escape to pictuesque North Cornwall for a family-focussed stay in this charming cottage, situated in an idyllic countryside setting, just a short drive from the surfing hotspot of Bude.

The cottage's interior gives off a relaxed barefoot coastal vibe, with a driftwood sculpture on the coffee table, local landscapes adorning the walls, and a rustic dining table surrounded by deliberately mismatched chairs. Its open layout creates a social space where you can happily be preparing dinner in the kitchen, while holding a conversation with someone stretched out on the sofa by the front door. 

Upstairs, both cosy bedrooms are equipped with skylights that make for a gentle wake-up call each morning. Although you can always close the blackout blinds if you'd like a lie-in. In addition, plenty of built-in storage is handy when it comes to unpacked and settling into your home from home. 

Elsewhere, the site boasts an array of fantastic shared facilities, including a games room, children's playground and a campfire area. For us, you can't go wrong with a morning caffeine boost form the horse trailer turned cafe as you lead the kids off to feed the farm animals (available seasonally). 

For off-site escapades, your hosts have teamed up with the area's most outstanding artisans and adventurers to create a local list that includes everything from places serving sumptuous local produce to those offering exhilarating outdoor experiences.

Tin Miner's Cottage

Step-Free Access

Slip straight into the slower pace of life in this little corner of Cornish coastal perfection. Its secluded location makes for an ideal getaway for young families and couples seeking a romantic glamping retreat far removed from their hectic daily routine. Let the morning light pour in from the skylight overhead and step out for an alfresco morning coffee with views over the rolling hills. The luxurious roundhouse is located just a short drive from the coast, where you can enjoy lazy days on Cornwall's famed beaches or more active ones in the surf. For a completely different vibe, check out the steep cobbled streets of Clovelly that wind down towards the sea – just a twenty-minute drive away. After a day out, sink into the Jacuzzi with a glass of wine. Cosy up around the wood-burning stove and bid the twinkling stars overhead goodnight. 


The Roundhouse

Escape to the country and hunker down in this beautifully restored old English farmhouse tucked away in the Cornish countryside. Heading down the quiet lane, the Atlantic blue springs into view across the rolling fields as you pull into the driveway. The beaches, bars and bistros of Bude are only a ten-minute drive away, but this home is a real retreat.

Parts of the property date back to the sixteenth century, and although it’s been lovingly restored, the traditional charm still shines through in the wood burners, range oven and exposed beams. It’s calm and cosy, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and find a quiet corner of their own. 

While the kids let off steam in the large shared gardens, enjoy breakfast to the sound of birdsong in the sun-trap courtyard. Curl up with a book on a window seat with sea views, or pile into the car for a family day out to Sandymouth Beach. When evening rolls around, it’s time to snuggle up in an armchair by the fire, hot chocolate in hand, and dream about doing it all over again tomorrow.

Lost Gardens

Courtyard

Tucked away in a quiet spot of Cornish countryside, you’ll find this quaint cottage. Step inside, and it’s bright and deceivingly spacious with neutral decor and crisp white furniture and doors. 

This homely home has everything you could want while you’re away, making it the perfect base camp for exploring this stunning stretch of coastline. There’s no wi-fi here, but we don’t count this as a negative – what better way to truly switch off and simply enjoy the company of those you love and the beauty of the natural landscape around you? Perfect for small families, if a day at the beach hasn’t tired your children out, there’s a generous communal garden here. So, pour yourself a refreshingly cold cider, step outside and watch on as the children race around, burning off the last of their energy. If your four-pawed furry sidekick has joined you on holiday too, you can guarantee they’ll be joining in the fun.

When it’s time to head out from your rustic retreat, the popular seaside town of Bude is just under three miles away. Well worth a visit, you’ll find yourself lost exploring the sandy beaches and endless choice of quirky shops, cafes and restaurants, where you can enjoy some freshly caught seafood. This place is just made for making memories.

Serene views, sleek interiors and seemingly impossible design elements come together to make an architectural feat of a home on Devon's coastline. The hosts built this home from the ground up – pulling up outside you'll immediately get the sense you're about to stay somewhere unique. And you'll get the personal touch too, as host Deborah and her family love to greet every guest on arrival. Style-wise, this home is equal parts classy and edgy; velvet upholstery and faux-fur throws contrast with neon signs and curious light fixtures in the bedrooms. The pièce de résistance is the gravity-defying fireplace in the living area, nothing short of a showstopper. You'll want to explore every room in depth to make sure you haven't missed anything. This is a level of design you might not necessarily expect from a sleepy part of coastal Devon – but that's part of the home's beauty. It's the perfect retreat for those seeking total tranquility in exceptional surroundings. 

The Early Risers

Safety Gates

This holiday home just south of Bude is a great spot to spend some quality time with the whole family. It’s only a short walk to the beach, where you can take surf lessons or go for a hike with your four-legged friend along the Atlantic coast. The house has got three ensuite bedrooms and a large family bathroom, but it’s the garden with the sea view that we like best. There are a small local shop and pub nearby and the town of Bude is but a short drive away.


Can You Hear The Waves?

Step into this achingly romantic wooden hut in St Kew, Cornwall, for a whirlwind getaway unlike any other. Decorated in an eclectic, bohemian style, you’ll want to fire up the stove and sink right into a pile of embroidered cushions with a mug of hot chocolate. You’ll also have your own private deck on which to drink tea with scones or enjoy hot Cornish pasties from the local bakery. The mezzanine bedroom area was made for sleeping to the sound of rain falling on the roof – just hope that it clears up quickly in the morning – or listening out for the call of a barn owl passing by. And the north Cornwall coast, with some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, is just a ten-minute drive away. Spend a day at charming Port Isaac, or hop on your bike to take on the Camel Trail – and don't forget to stop in at the country pub across the lane on your way home. 

A New Belonging

Air Conditioning

If you love a beach holiday, this cute home is perfect for you. Such is the proximity to one of the beaches, you can see the lapping waves and golden sands from the privacy of your cute garden. Sitting with a cup of coffee in the morning – listening to the sound of the waves touching the shore – is the perfect way to start your day.

The home is also within walking distance of two other beaches along Woolacombe's pretty esplanade – you can take trips to all three and discover your favourite. If you're feeling peckish after swimming, numerous pubs and restaurants reside nearby in Woolacombe centre.

Whilst you're out, pick up some supplies to enjoy back at the apartment. A deluxe dining table is made for sharing plates of fish and chips, complemented by a crisp glass of something cold. 

The dining table is the centrepiece of the open-plan living room – a bright space that's lit by natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling patio doors. Light, wooden flooring and a carefully designed layout help create a cosy ambiance that doesn't feel crowded. 

Upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms and bathrooms, one of which contains a bath for when you need to soothe the mind and body. Light some candles and pour in the bubble bath to truly relax before you go to bed.

If the gentle trickle of water helps you relax and you're a lover of the great outdoors, this fabulous home is sure to delight you. Right next to a narrow part of the River Harbourne, which leads to the Dart, it's a converted fruit barn with bags of character and more than its fair share of chic styling. 

Built around 1825 and once a rubble ruin, the home has been completely modernised, with plenty of contemporary luxuries blending with the building's original structures. We love the extended kitchen and dining space, where beams and exposed stone walls give way to gunmetal grey patio doors and a glass ceiling.

Designed to be cosy for four but with the option of adding two children in the spacious master suite, it's a beautiful home with several standout features. As well as the modern log burner in the sitting room, there's the private garden beside the river, the high-spec kitchen, glamorous bathrooms and comfy beds. Plus a friendly local host who'll be on hand with tips and recommendations about the area.

On the outskirts of a village near Totnes, you'll be ideally positioned to access all of the South Hams easily by car. And keen walkers can head off to Totnes, Tuckenhay, Cornworthy and more. There are two good pubs within walking distance and the nearby Sharpham Estate has a great farm shop. 

Run with the River

Groups of friends and families seeking seaside adventures with modern comforts will make an excellent match for this spacious Instow village home. With four bright and airy rooms overlooking the Marine Parade and a large open-concept living space, you can really enjoy the sea breeze from the comfort of this home. Water sports and charming village pubs, shops and restaurants are all right at your doorstep, but for an equally delightful adventure, rent bicycles and join the famous Tarka Trail.

Topaz Sky

You'll find this bungalow tucked away behind a row of houses in a suburb of Bude. Crooklets beach, the nearest golf course and the town centre are all within a ten-minute walk, making this home a great base for exploring. While the interior is on the smaller side, it's plenty comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for family meals. The patio and outdoor seating are ideal for quiet evenings, and the fenced garden is great for tiring out the kids.

Sitting in the middle of a thirty-acre farm in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this barn conversion is a fittingly impressive home for such an idyllic location. 

There are plenty of spots from which you can gaze out at the pretty meadows, woodland and the banks of the River Tamar that surround the address, whether that's out through the floor-to-ceiling windows that line the main living space or while seated on the roof terrace bordered by a leafy pergola. However, the home's interior is well worth your attention, too. Certain features have been retained from the building's industrious past, including wooden ceiling beams and exposed stonework, but otherwise, the design is bright and contemporary.

The number of amenities available to guests distinguishes this home from the pack. Not only is there a homely wood-burning stove in the main space, but there's a games room with a ping-pong table and darts board in a section that was once a cattle shed, plus lots of equipment for outdoor games beside the forecourt and lawned area. Here you will find tables, benches and additional seating for your exclusive use and space to stoke up barbecues and challenge the group to a variety of games.

Elsewhere on the site, there are the ruins of a silver and lead mine accompanied by the pumping engine house and smithy, part of the industrial landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are other footpaths that lead off into the countryside, but you can also stroll down to the banks of the River Tamar, on which there's a two-hour window every day when it's safe to use it for water sports.

River To Sea

Paid Parking On Street

This seventeeth–century property overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the seaside town, Brixham. Situated next to the charming harbour, you're only a short stroll away from the waterside. Head up the three-tiered garden to admire the view from atop. You'll be greeted with clear skies, the hum of the waters, and the sounds of the harbour. 

The large windows throughout the home light up the space as you play on the vintage arcade table that offers the classical Space Invaders and Pacman. Whoever gets to sleep in the Captain's Cabin bedroom gets a gorgeous view of the surrounding harbour right from the comfort of their own bed – imagine waking up next to that blissful sight every morning.

The beautiful yet convenient location makes this the perfect place to reside on a family getaway to a seaside town. There's a fantastic selection of eateries by the harbour front as well as a cosy pub that serves delicious local produce. Wander the streets of Brixham to discover a ton of local hidden gems and treat yourself to sugary sweet treats and savory snacks.

Captain Curious

It might be shaped like a traditional wooden beach hut, but this new build home is bursting with everything you could need for a perfect stay in Devon. From underfloor heating to a handheld outdoor show for sandy feet (or paws), comfort is key. The bedrooms are downstairs, which might seem unusual at first, but trust us – French doors lead you from the master bedroom out to the hot tub, where you can indulge in a glass of wine or gaze up at the stars. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen and living area has high ceilings, emphasizing the light and roomy atmosphere. Westward Ho! has an array of boutiques, restaurants and pubs to enjoy, and the sweeping sandy beach, just a fifteen-minute walk away, is ideal for leisurely sunset strolls, surfing or simply relaxing. A short five-minute car ride will take you to other exciting spots – the village of Appledore is well worth a visit – while those who want to spend the day on the fairways will be just a two-minute walk from the Royal North Devon Golf Club. 

Bathing Box

Swimming Pool

This place had us on those sweeping countryside views alone – it’s just green paddocks and rolling valleys for as far as the eye can see. And that was before we’d even noticed that suntrap terrace with hot tub.

Set on a private estate made up of seven holiday cottages and a mere ten-minute drive from some of North Devon’s most picturesque sandy bays, it’s got family holiday written all over it. Splash about in the heated indoor pool. Let little ones burn off steam in the impressive play area (or indoor soft play and games room should the weather turn). Meet the estate’s farm animals (over fifty and counting) at feeding time. Grab yourself some ‘me time’ with an onsite yoga or aqua aerobics class. Or head off on an adventure with furry friends through the gardens, sunken lanes, meadows, and streams (perfect for little dam-builders) – there are sixteen acres to explore here.

When thoughts turn to food, pick your own at the estate’s kitchen garden and greenhouse then rustle up a bite to eat at home. Or grab something from the onsite honesty shop, stocked with frozen meals, BBQ packs from the local farm shop, and lashings of ice cream. Then all that’s left to do is put your feet up and hunker down at home. With its four-poster beds and flagstone flooring, this cute-as-a-button hideaway delivers all the cottage charms you’re chasing. 

Aylesbury Cottage

Lift Access

If you're looking for a sweeping dramatic view, beautifully decorated and comforting interior, plenty for the kids to do, and within easy reach of plenty of seaside fun, you've come to the right place. From the outside, you could almost convince yourself that you're at a (very nice!) pub, with round pub benches complete with sun umbrellas. It's the perfect laidback vibe for enjoying a drink while taking in the panoramic view of Woolacombe Beach and the North Devon countryside. Relaxing in your hot tub, a nice drink in hand, while looking out at the sweeping vista sounds like bliss.

The outdoor area's open and bright feel continues through to the interior, which is cloaked in neutral tones and chestnut woods. It's stylish yet inviting, with local artwork adding a touch of the beautiful Devon coast and countryside. Not that you could miss it – large windows encircle the home, offering ample opportunity to gaze at the mesmerising surfers all day long. And when you want to get out there yourself, you're less than a ten-minute walk to the beach. There, you'll find beautiful soft sand, beach cafes, and a surf school – why not test out the waves?
