Located just a ten-minute walk from Croyde Beach, this bright apartment is a fantastic choice for a seaside getaway. Devon is a beautiful place to visit all year round, with the stunning landscapes taking centre stage. You have a glimpse of it from your own balcony, with sweeping views of rolling hills and a glimpse of the coast. There is a lovely indoor-outdoor feel to this home, with patio doors folding in to open up the living space to the balcony. So, you don't have to miss out on that view whether you're preparing meals in the kitchen or gathering around the dining table for dinner. But the space lends itself to any occasion – draw those curtains closed, get a film up on the smart TV, and cosy up on the plush sofas for relaxed evenings in. Not only is this apartment is inviting and homely, but it's also conveniently located. Walk for just ten minutes and you'll be in the heart of Croyde, coming across its shops, pubs, cafes, and of course, the blue flag accredited beach. The beach is particularly popular with surfers, equally entertaining whether you're people-watching or getting out on the waves yourself. The sand dunes... are also just a ten-minute walk away, but if you want a bit of greenery, explore the Northern Devon Area of Natural Beauty to get your fix.

In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters. Follow the coastal path that runs along the beach to spot birdlife and seals bobbing in...
