Set on a private estate alongside a handful of cottages, this home is a perfect couple’s retreat. Sure, mobile phone signal and wi-fi can be temperamental here, but all the more reason to completely switch off and enjoy your surroundings – and you won’t struggle to occupy your time. With a communal swimming pool, generous grounds to wander, a games room, an animal enclosure, and a children’s play area for those travelling with little ones, it’ll be hard to tear yourself away from this home. If you can, Combe Martin beach is less than two miles away.
