The brainchild of a celebrated interior designer, this North Devon townhouse has got it all figured out. Located a couple of minutes’ drive from Croyde beach, where you’ll spend long days surfing and soaking up the salty sea breeze, the inside of the home is beautifully sophisticated, with subtle nautical nods—we loved the knot wallpaper and delicate fish shoal light shade. The bunks in the children’s room will be a hit with mini swashbucklers, while the pizza oven on the patio should keep big kids quiet for a while. You’ll find the pretty village of Croyde a five-minute amble down the road, offering a charming selection of tea rooms, ice cream parlours and thatched pubs. After a hearty roast dinner, retreat home to the outdoor hot tub before turning in for the night in those luxurious king-size beds.

Garden

With sweeping views of the Devonshire coast from a secluded vantage point, your stay at this converted barn will likely lodge in your memory. Modernised in 2020 to create a sleek and tranquil retreat for four, the unique home comes with a garden hot tub, wood-burning stove and luscious garden that blends into the surrounding countryside.

The interiors are rich with rustic features, from the exposed stonework in the living space to the A-frame beam ceilings. Contemporary touches, such as the full-height windows and Scandinavian-style furniture, complement rather than compete with the remnants of the original barn, while tasteful details like the slate grey flooring and country doors echo what the adjoining farmhouse might have looked like.

You're just a twelve-minute drive from Barnstaple here, and twenty minutes from North Devon's spectacular beaches. Wind your way through verdant farmland en route, and stop off at Braunton for some traditional British pub grub on your way home.

Belle View Barn

Single-Level Home

Safe

Just a few miles from the famous Saunton Sands, this lovely home has a bubbling hot tub, a sunny veranda and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with light. One of three homes on the same site, it’s the ideal base for exploring the spectacular Devonshire coast. Saunton Sands is one of Devon’s most beautiful beaches, with three miles of golden sand, and azure water. It’s as popular with surfers as families, but with such a vast stretch of beach, rarely feels crowded. The popular village of Braunton is also close by, with its many surf shops, restaurants and cafes. Enjoy a lazy lie in before heading to the beach to swim, surf and explore Braunton Burrows’ immense sand dunes. Then come back for a relaxing dunk in the hot tub and watch the sun go down on the deck with a glass of something delicious. The host welcomes pets (and Saunton Sands is dog-friendly year-round), so if you’ve got a furry friend, it’s the dream holiday. 

Sandy Burrow

Balcony

Picture waking up to the sound of rolling waves each morning, whiling away afternoons on the beach just steps from your door and ending the evenings with cocktails on the terrace as the sun dips below the sea. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, that's a day in the life at this contemporary coastal apartment, right on the banks of Saunton Sands. 

With incredible ocean views, direct footpath access to the sandy beach and a shared terrace where you can soak it all in, this sleek apartment is the pinnacle of shoreside living. Effortlessly chic, the minimalist living space is decorated in calm greys and crisp whites. Not only is it a soothing space to retreat to after a day in the sun, but it's super roomy and drenched in light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Home cooks will have everything they need to rustle up family dinners in the glossy kitchen, but our favourite room is the elegant main bedroom, which has a lavish freestanding bathtub perfect for relaxing.

Surfers will love catching waves on Saunton Sands – there's even wetsuit and surfboard storage as well as an outdoor shower on-site. Keen walkers can trek the South West Coastal Path – it runs directly past the apartment – while golfers can hit the links at Saunton Golf Club. For pubs and restaurants, head inland to Braunton (five minutes by car), or for a change of scenery, make the fifteen-minute drive to Woolacombe.

Sands On the Horizon

Free Parking On Street

This beautiful country home is steeped in history – the colonial-style building is Grade II listed, and it is said that former Prime Minister William Gladstone once stayed here when visiting Braunton. 

The bay window looks out onto the historic parish church, and there is an excellent village pub right next door for when you’re in need of some refreshment or a tasty pub lunch. The cosy sitting room has a wood-burning stove and comes with a complimentary basket of logs, and there’s an additional snug with a sofa and TV – just pop on one of the many DVDs available in the library and settle in for a movie night. You’ll also have the bright and modern kitchen at your disposal – why not rustle up a quick, delicious supper, which you can then enjoy in the spacious dining area.  

A picturesque stretch of the Tarka Trail is close by, offering paths for walking and cycling, while a short car ride will take you to an array of lovely beaches, including Saunton and Croyde. You can indulge in water sports such as surfing and canoeing here, and the house has storage space for boards. Those hoping for a more low-key, restful trip can simply enjoy the golden sands and the soothing sound of waves – and don’t forget to taste the legendary Devon cream tea! 


Take A Little Time

Desk / Workplace

Did somebody say beach? Few places can boast of having direct access to one of Devon's finest beaches, but from this home, you can step out of the door, through the shared garden and onto the footpath down to Saunton Sands. A garden-level apartment in a freshly converted building, it's got space, style and knockout sea views. Perfect for a family or a group of friends getting away to the coast, it's both contemporary and comfortable. 

Inside, the enormous open-plan living space is the star of the show, with a vast lounge area, dining space and a well kitted-out kitchen. Fling open the sets of doors and just breathe in that sea air. We particularly love the covered terrace, with cosy outdoor sofas so you can sip your drinks and admire the view. The master bedroom comes with an in-room freestanding bathtub and the luxurious shower room is decked out in marble, with a fabulous rainfall shower.

By day, splash and play on the beach (don't forget your surfboards – there's a place to store them here) or head to nearby Croyde and Woolacombe. Walk the sand dunes of Braunton Burrows or play a round at Saunton Golf Club, and in the evening enjoy meals together at the big dining table. It's even dog-friendly there's so no need to leave out your four-legged family members here.   

A Crescent of Gold

This charming, barn-converted cottage is tucked away in Braunton village adjoining the rich sand dunes of Braunton Burrows which host a rich plant community of ferns and herbs. 

This country cottage has all the features of a rural retreat by the sea, think clean tones with blue hues, high-beamed ceilings and reclaimed white-washed furnishings. When the sun is out, open up the french doors to the Juliette balcony to invite the coastal Devonshire breeze in, or spend lunch in the soft-lawned orchard surrounded by wildflowers. When the weather isn’t playing ball, spend afternoons on the cosy sofa with the log-burning fire and a movie classic. Come rain or shine, the kitchen is ready to spring into action for picnic preparation or family-style dinners around the wooden dining table.

If you’re venturing outside the cottage, prepare for an abundance of choices - surfing lessons down on Saunton Beach (eight minutes away), cycling along the Tarka Trail, exploring the woodlands of Exmoor National Park (twenty-five minutes by car) or indulging in a local pub lunch. Surrounded by rolling countryside hills and stunning Jurassic beaches, you’ll find tranquillity and exploration in equal measure.

Burrows Cottage

Games Room

Golfers and beach seekers – this one’s for you. With far-reaching views across Saunton golf course and Braunton Burrows, this is a perfect coastal retreat for a family. With two living areas, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax here – and let’s not forget the garden, where you can breathe in the sea air while soaking up the vistas. When you’re tempted to the coast, it’s a mere ten-minute walk along a beach path to Saunton Sands. 

Saunton Sanctuary

Located only a short twenty-minute walk from Devon's beautiful Staunton Sands beach and tucked away on a quiet countryside road, The Great Honeysuckle is the perfect place for a discerning couple to kick back and relax for a few days. Aside from the beach, the area is great for long walks and birdwatching, and once you're done exploring, you can always return and hit the outdoor hot tub to unwind. Start your day with a lazy brunch prepared in the bright kitchenette, then enjoy a hot cup of coffee on the patio – the decked terrace area is surrounded by green countryside views, that we really love. If you feel like visiting a historical town, then head over to Barnstaple, under a fifteen-minute drive away, for a nice afternoon in the city centre. When – weary from wandering and ensuring you've picked up some local goods on your travels – knock up a hearty meal and get cosy on the sofa with a good book. The interior has a real classic summertime look, with its exposed wood, light blue tones and French doors. Through to the bedroom, you'll find a continuation of the main living space with tasteful artwork and a gingham throw adding to the charm of this home-sweet-home. 

The Great Honeysuckle

Seeing is believing at this slick seafront apartment offering up one of the most dramatic views of Devon's coastline we ever did see and a direct footpath to Saunton's three miles of golden sandy beach.

On wild, wintery days, watch the tide roll in with morning coffees curled up on the modular sofa. And on balmy summer nights, open up the French Crittall doors wide for alfresco drinks on the terrace - the crashing waves and blazing sunsets are spell-bounding.

Inside, there's a sharp design focus to this uber-modern aparthotel, designed by the owner, a London-based property developer. A minimalist's dream, expect clean, uncluttered spaces with underfloor heating, marble-clad bathrooms, and high-end furnishings adding a dash of luxury. 

When it's time to hit the surf, pad out across the landscaped communal gardens and follow the footpath leading you directly to one of Britain's best surfing beaches. With a surf school on your doorstep and a handy outhouse and outdoor shower for hosing down and storing all your surf paraphernalia, this is a surfer's paradise. And it's dog and family-friendly too, so all the troops are welcome here. 

Explore pretty nearby coastal spots like Croyde (seven-minute drive) and Woolacombe (eighteen-minute drive). And there's a thriving foodie scene to keep you well watered and fed – from Michelin-starred restaurants to good old-fashioned fish and chips – it's got it all going on.

Everything is Beachy

Free Parking

Rooftop Terrace

This original Georgian house has been completely reimagined, extended and turned into the ideal hub for large groups of friends or extended families after seamless modern living along the beautiful Devon countryside. For a cosy moment in, light the wood-burning stove and curl up on one of the squishy sofas with a cup of hot chocolate. Or relax with a great book in the separate drawing room, benefitting from charming wood floors, wallpaper prints and elegant decor to keep things extra snug. 

Outside, there are grassy lawns and a large terrace where you can cook up a feast on the barbecue. There’s a spacious dining space inside too, in case the weather isn’t on your side. With its fantastic surfing conditions, nearby Croyde Beach (twenty minutes on foot) is a destination for fans of water sports, and its golden sands are perfect for building sandcastles too. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, Croyde has some fantastic cafes, pubs and restaurants where you can refuel and possibly sample a famous Devon cream tea. Back at home, you’ll find a wet room where you can rinse off the salt and sand, as well as a grand clawfoot bath for the perfect ending to a delightful day. 

Rich Tapestry

Sound System

A ten-minute drive from the pristine shores of Devon’s Woolacombe Beach, this modern lodge is an isolated, minimalist abode that's perfect for serenity-seekers. While you can reach the town of Georgeham by taking a seven-minute stroll through the lush countryside, the home truly does feel like a world away. With spectacular green views in every direction, courtesy of the panoramic windows and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, enjoy the great outdoors even when you’re cosy inside the home. Find woven dining chairs, a plush sofa, and a cushioned headboard against your bed for when you’re relaxing indoors, as well as a bath in the en-suite for a late-night soak. But it’s the outdoor offering which we found really impressive. As well as a large, enclosed garden where you can let your pooch run wild, there are even more activities to enjoy after dusk falls on your private porch. Switch on the fairy lights for a magical evening on the soft sofa under the covered decking, then slink into the hot tub with a glass of champagne as the stars come out. This setting is simply ideal for gazing up at the night skies.
