For a coastal retreat just moments from the beach, choose a stay at Pebble Banks. This modern home offers plenty of luxuries, a beautiful and well-maintained garden, three comfortable bedrooms and a location that is second to none. Just steps from the front door guests will find the wonderful blue-flag Westward Ho! beach that will keep the whole family entertained. If that's not enough, the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is just a 100m walk away, offering hundreds of acres of protected land in which you can spot wildlife and breathtaking views. When you're done, head back for alfresco dining on your terrace – complete with slatted screens, curated pebbles (of course) and garden furniture – we can think of no better way to spend those balmy summer evenings. Alternatively, take to your private balcony for sunset and distant sea views with a couple of cocktails and lite bites – prepared in the sleek white island kitchen. Speaking of, sit down at the chic breakfast bar with your first up of java and morning paper – it's a light and airy space to start the day. Looking around at the decor you'll notice pastel pink furnishings, pristine white chairs and a... star-shaped decorative theme, creating a calm and relaxing ambience around the house. There's also plenty of fresh plants, nautical touches and tasteful artwork dotted around that really brings the home to life. With the enviable location and stylish interiors, this spot is a true collector's item.
