Whether you're looking for summer holidays by the beach or days spent walking, this North Devon home is in close proximity to many outdoor adventures. Set in a quiet lane on the outskirts of Braunton, the house is a short drive away from the surfing beaches of Saunton and Croyde, both of which have board hire and lessons available at the locations. And no worries if you don’t have your own gear - the owners are more than happy for you to borrow the body boards, surf boards and wetsuits found in the garage. Alongside plenty of beaches, this stretch of coast is famed for its beautiful walking routes. Parts of the South West Coast Path can be picked up at Braunton Burrows and lead through a UNESCO-designated biosphere, while the Tarka Trail is great for easy cycling. Once you’re done exploring, head home for a glass of wine in the garden during the summer or watch the sunset from the top-floor lounge. If cooking is off the agenda for the night, the town is a short stroll away and has several pubs as well as the award-winning chippie, Squires.
