Oceanscape

An impressive retreat in Westward Ho!, this Devon holiday makes an exceptional base for larger parties. Sleeping eight guests across four floors, the four-bedroom property is in a superb location, just 0.5 miles from the golden stretches of the sandy beach.

Enjoy swimming, surfing and following the scenic South West Coast Path. Head into pretty Appledore, 2 miles away, to discover the colourful shops, sit down to afternoon tea or catch the seasonal ferry across to Instow.

The market town of Bideford, 2.5 miles away, has a wider range of outlets to browse. From here, head out on a day trip to dramatic Lundy Island.

Take the children for a fun afternoon at the Big Sheep amusement farm park, 3 miles away. Visit the picture-postcard, cliff-side fishing village of Clovelly, 12.5 miles away, with its steep, cobbled streets where donkeys are still used to transport loads up and down.

Make your way into the attractive property via a set of external stairs to the front. Head inside to find the house has a part-reverse-level design to maximise the far-reaching coastal views.

At ground-floor level, you have two of your bedrooms, a king-size and a twin. These bedrooms share a shower room.

There is also a utility room. Climb the stairs to the first floor to discover a generous lounge/diner, where you can slide back the glass doors to bring in the summer sunshine and unwind on the balcony with a cold drink.

Take in the sea views from here or from inside, where you can light the wood burner during the colder months. Gather in here for film nights in front of the Smart TV and sit down to holiday meals at the large table.

The contemporary kitchen, which has been designed for your ease of use, is also on the first floor. Additional bedrooms can be found on the upper levels of the house.
