Nestled in the pretty village of Croyde, this charming home-away-from-home has rest and relaxation written all over it. Our favourite spot to kick back is the sun-drenched garden, where summer barbecues and twilight cocktails are sure to be on your itinerary. With a decked seating area ideal for alfresco dining and a pretty summerhouse to retreat to when you need a break from the rays, we wouldn't blame you if you decide to spend every second here soaking up the fresh air. Inside is just as cosy. Settle down on the plush sofas with a glass of wine and watch a film in front of the electric fire. Home cooks, meanwhile, will love preparing family feasts in the country-style kitchen. After a long walk along the coast, soak sore muscles in the bathtub before climbing into the comfortable beds for a well-deserved sleep – with so much to explore in Devon, you'll need all the energy you can get it. Location-wise, you're just a short walk from the village and about one mile from Croyde's sandy beach. Bring along your boards and catch some waves – there's even surfboard storage back at home – or for a more laid-back afternoon, sample the fare at the local pubs and cafes in the area, followed by a stroll along the shore.

About Woolacombe

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...
