Coastguard

Kick back, breathe in salty sea air and make yourself at home in this stylish, family-friendly home in North Devon. Just 2 miles from the award-winning sands of Woolacombe Beach, this beautiful base sleeps six guests and provides the perfect stay for families looking to explore this stunning stretch of coastline.

Inside, it's all about relaxed living. The open-plan ground floor is bright and airy, with bi-fold doors that bring the outside in.

Rustle up something tasty in the kitchen, pour a glass of wine, and gather around the table for a long, laughter-filled meal, before sinking into the sofa for a movie night on the Smart TV. Enjoy an evening of bubbling away in the hot tub, located in the enclosed garden, or sizzle up delicious seafood on the BBQ.

If you can bear to say goodnight to the frivolity, then the upstairs is laid out for a great night's sleep. Discover three cosy bedrooms; choose from one of the two doubles or the twin bedroom.

In the morning, sip your coffee out in the garden before freshening up in the wet room or contemporary family bathroom with a bubbly bath and a good book. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car.

Walk or drive to Woolacombe Beach for a full day spent lazing on the sand or boarding in the sea. There are even surfing lessons available if you're new to it.

If swapping waves for wheels sounds more your thing, the Tarka Trail is right on your doorstep – this legendary route offers 180 miles of leisurely bike rides and countryside walks. Art lovers must visit Damien Hirst's Verity on Ilfracombe Pier (4 miles), while those wanting to see a show can stop by The Landmark.
