Venture into the town and you will find a great selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and two miles of beautiful golden sandy beach, perfect for those who enjoy the sun and surf, and from here you can also enjoy some spectacular cliff-top walks on the South West Coast Path. There is also direct access to the Royal North Devon Golf Club where guests can enjoy free social memberships during their stay, which includes use of the bar and restaurant (golf is extra, but at a reduced rate at certain times). Also nearby, the pretty town of Bideford boasts an array of independent shops and from here you can enjoy a trip to Lundy Island on the famous Oldenburg. Other attractions and places of interest accessible from here include Appledore and Clovelly, Instow, Hartland Abbey and Quay, Tapeley Park, The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, RHS Rosemoor and Dartington Crystal.

Step inside this stunning property and due to the reverse-level accommodation you will firstly find the three stylish bedrooms on the ground floor, and all of which include a Smart TV. These consist of a spacious master king-size with an en-suite shower room with shower and WC and bi-folding doors which lead out onto the rear garden, a further king-size bedroom which also boasts an en-suite shower room with shower and WC and bi-folding doors to outside; and finally a delightful twin zip-and-link bedroom (which can be presented as a super-king-size upon request) with fabulous integrated storage. Completing the offering on this floor is a generously proportioned bathroom with a shower over bath and WC and an undeniably useful utility room with a sink, washer/dryer and a set of French doors to outside. Venturing up the stairs and onto the first floor the accommodation then opens up into a beautifully spacious and light open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors opening onto a lovely glass-fronted balcony with reclining furniture and throws for those chilly evenings. This impeccably designed room offers a Smart TV with Sky TV (including Sky Sports), a Bluetooth sound bar, and provides the perfect place to enjoy a laid-back breakfast before heading out or relax after a day exploring. The kitchen is perfectly appointed with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and a coffee maker, and boasts sea glimpses from the window.

Venturing outside further highlights await in the shape of the fabulous enclosed lawn garden with a large patio area and garden furniture. Adding a further element of luxury, there is also a hot-tub and guests are provided with dressing gowns, and spa towels, enabling you to make the most of this fabulous feature. In all, this great space provides something for everyone, and includes sun loungers which mean that you don't need to venture to the beach to enjoy a dip or relax in the sun.
