One glance at those panoramic views and it's love at first sight. Perched just above Woolacombe Beach, if you're anything like us, you'll spend nearly every moment here on the expansive deck, watching the tide rise and fall – except when you're sunbathing on the sand or surfing the waves, of course. Wake up to the ocean vistas each morning, then following an alfresco breakfast, stroll down to the beach for an afternoon picnic and a dip in the water. End the evening with a barbecue and a glass of wine, watching as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it? You can even make the most of the scenery inside, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that drench the entire home in natural light. Contemporary and cool, we love how the coastal colour scheme reflects the backdrop – and all the mod-cons are accounted for. The rainfall showers in the en-suite bathrooms are hotel-worthy, a high-spec kitchen stocked with culinary gear (including a wine chiller) is a dream to cook in and Netflix, Now TV, books and board games will keep you entertained on rainy days. Location-wise, you can follow the South West Coastal Path into Woolacombe...

Local guide


About Mortehoe

Listed in the Doomsday Book, the picturesque and quiet village of Mortehoe is a North Devon gem with its clifftop position and incredible sea views. Have a wander around its winding streets, and you'll discover quaint cottages, an unusual barrel-roofed thirteenth-century church, and the Mortehoe Museum, which offers a glimpse into the area's smuggling past. Many a ship has met its fate on the deadly 'devil's teeth' rocks here over...

Host


This home is managed by peter

This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Friendly and welcoming, Peter is an excellent host. He just finished his debut novel – a mystery set in North Devon – so safe to say, he knows the area pretty well. As such, he has the best recommendations for pubs, restaurants, golf courses and fun day trips everyone will enjoy. When he's not hosting, you'll find him playing golf (especially at Saunton), reading a good book and sipping G&Ts on the deck or spending time with his lovely family.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
