  • Stunning holiday home located a short distance from the sandy beach and famous pebble ridge at Westward Ho!
  • Large enclosed garden perfect for all the family and your four-legged friends

  • Perfect holiday destination for exploring all of what the region has to offer
Property code: 48845

Get a dose of luxury in this New England style, reverse living house, ideal for a group of friends, a family or even a couples’ retreat (plus canine companions of course). Three large bedrooms, open-plan living area, and stylish vintage-meets-modern interior provide an indulgent basecamp, just half a mile’s stroll to the Westward Ho! Beach. So you can wander back after a day of amusements, swimming, golf, and fetch.

Three spacious, sumptuous bedrooms — one double, one king, and one super-king — greet you as you enter the peaceful lower floor. All three could be the master bedroom and what’s more, two en-suite and one main bathroom mean that everyone can be ready to head down to the beach at the same time. Upstairs is your social, open living space. Cosy up around the wood burner or enjoy the sea air on your balcony. But the best part of this house might be the outdoor area. The large enclosed garden is ideal for a couple of pups to safely shake off their swim, plus you have your very own hot tub on the patio, so you can watch them in style.

Situated on the North Devon coast, Westward Ho! is a seaside village in every sense. A wide, 2-mile beach is ideal for dogs to run and wade. Shops offer traditional fish and chips and beach toys. Return home with new skills by signing up for surfing lessons — there are several surf schools to choose from along the beachfront. The town of Bideford, 2.5 miles south, offers a range of restaurants, shops, and a quaint pannier market with artisan traders in a covered Victorian building. And kids and adults alike will love the Milky Way Adventure Park, a 12-mile trip along the coast.

Fantastic house in a great location. Short walk to the sea front, but far enough away for peace and quiet. House is lonely and has everything you could need. We will be back.

Salty Tides is a great holiday house and we had a really wonderful holiday there. The house was clean, spacious and very well equipped. We loved the welcome gifts and were particularly happy with the coffee machine, the decent pots and pans and the proper kitchen knives. The hot tub was lovely.

Fabulous house which was perfect for us ( 4 adults, 2 teens and a Labrador) Unfortunately the weather wasnt the best to utilise the hot tub, but having the barbecue and summer house with games provided was brilliant. All rooms were spacious and comfortable and location was perfect.

Well equipped and fully functional house. The utility room was a real joy allowing you to come straight in and sort the dog and yourself out before entering the main property really handy in the British weather. We found the property nice and homely and spacious and double parking at the front of the property makes life easy.
