A former market garden storehouse, this rural retreat invites you to a coastal village in the North Devon countryside. Staying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty means that you'll be surrounded by storybook streams, woodlands, and walking trails. Inside this characterful home, there's a topsy-turvy layout with the pink-beamed bedroom downstairs. Wrapped in wood panelling, this cosy place is the perfect spot to have a cheeky lie-in. Fry up a full English breakfast in your bright kitchen, which is well-stocked and finished with granite countertops. Why not cycle down to Croyde Bay, where you can join the surfers? Or, drive over to Baggy Point with your dog, and see the nesting seabirds on this dramatic cliffside. After popping into a country pub on your way back, you'll want to climb this wooden staircase into the living room. Relax in a modern armchair and read your favourite book beneath the vaulted ceilings – all before enjoying a late-night barbecue on your private patio, or taking a moonlit picnic out onto the hills.

About Woolacombe
Undulating hills rise up behind Woolacombe, creating a verdant backdrop that makes Woolacombe Beach one of the prettiest in Devon. In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters. Follow the coastal path that runs along the beach to spot birdlife and seals bobbing in...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
