Perched above Woolacombe Beach, overlooking the dramatic Devon coastline, this charming cottage offers sweeping views of the bay. Soak up the sea view from nearly every room of this home – whether you’re enjoying your morning paper on the front terrace, planning the day’s hiking route by the window, whisking eggs for breakfast at the family-style table or toasting your feet by crackling fire after a day walking the South West Coastal Path. The patio is especially breathtaking – a sunny spot to watch the waves roll out as you sip your coffee or a quiet place to enjoy a glass of wine at the golden hour. It’s exceedingly peaceful and tranquil here, with the home’s quaint and traditional architecture modernised with beachy whitewashed walls, light wood floors and soft coastal touches. Those seeking adrenaline will enjoy paddleboarding, kitesurfing and kayaking on the surfer’s paradise, Woolacombe Beach (just a five-minute drive down the hill), whilst hikers can make the most of their location with walks across the wild headland of Morte Point, a scenic thirty-five-minute walk away. After an active day, head into the town centre and take your pick of a charming pub dinner, a seafood restaurant feast or... famed fish and chips along the seafront.
