From the driftwood-style mirrors to the sunshine-yellow armchair, this North Devon home is inspired by its coastal setting. A 10-minute drive from Westward Ho! beach, the home is set in a quiet village. Start your day with coffee on the balcony, overlooking the rolling fields. There's plenty of room for groups to spread out, whether you're watching a film on the grey L-shaped sofa, cooking a family meal in the white kitchen or relaxing outdoors on the wicker furniture. On sunny days, it's not far to the sea, where surf and windsurfing schools will teach you how to ride the waves. When you're done, head back to the townhouse to soak tired muscles in the bath or warm up by the log-burning fire. As the evening sets in, we recommend firing up the barbecue, taking a seat around the cute picnic bench, and watching the stars wink into view.
