This charming Edwardian home nestled in the hills overlooking the North Sands and just a short walk from the beach is a great place for a Devon getaway – and you can bring your furry friends along too. The views from the terrace and balcony are breathtaking, and you can enjoy them while sharing alfresco meals and sipping on gin and tonics in the comfy outdoor seating areas. The lush garden is also a great addition, and from here you’ll be able to access a footpath leading directly to North Sands. Inside, you’ll find plenty to keep the whole family happy, including a wood-burning stove and for a good night’s rest, comfy beds and luxury bedding. There are quite a few steps to climb here, so the home may not suit guests with reduced mobility.
