This coastal apartment spread over two floors enjoys a location right across the road from Westwood Ho!’s sandy beach, with views across to Lundy Island. Couples and young families will love being in the heart of the village, close to shops and restaurants, as well as just steps from the SW Coast Path.

You’d be forgiven for whiling away many hours curled up on the comfy corner sofa gazing out at the sea - your view is framed by the stylish architecture reminiscent of the sail of a ship. Lie back and listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean, and if the weather is kind enough simply step out onto the Astroturfed balcony and soak up some sunshine. The upside-down layout and high-level windows mean the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the top floor is flooded with light, while downstairs, the bedrooms have plenty of space for a travel cot or dog bed – or both.

As well as the beach, there is plenty to occupy you here such as ample scampering space for pooches on the Northam Burrows, 0.5 miles away, and some lovely coastal walks locally. Those looking for a longer walk will enjoy a stroll to the cute fishing village of Appledore, which is about 5 miles along the SW coast path, while the walk along an old railway line to Cornborough Cliffs is perfect for younger or less agile guests and has some spectacular views across Bideford Bay. Take a day trip over to rugged Lundy Island from Bideford, 3 miles away, to spot some of the diverse nature, or visit The Big Sheep theme park which is great for all ages and all weathers.

The apartment was beautifully clean and the communication from the housekeeper was brilliant. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The bedroom is beautiful, a very large super comfy bed. The bed linen is spotlessly clean. The location is perfect and the views are stunning. I look forward to returning.

Fantastic accommodation, views to die for. Everything we needed was right there. They have thought of everything even buckets and spades kites windbreak everything. Because we have teenagers there wasnt a great deal to do for us. But we did lots of reading books and relaxing. One tip look In the book it has places to go I found it on the last day.

This was our second stay at this wonderful property and definitely wont be our last. The view is just lovely and I adore sitting on the balcony watching the tide come in. Inside is very well kept and very clean, with the main bedroom, en-suite and particularly the bed (which is sooo comfortable) being particular highlights. I cant wait to come backRead more!!! Hide

Lovely apartment over two floors - stunning sea views from floor to ceiling windows. Fabulous 75 inch Tv in lounge and TVs both bedrooms. Rosie the housekeeper was very helpful. Would recommend The Guillimot Beach Diner - excellent food and staff, new owners. The girls were great. Our dog allowed in there too. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable property that is well equipped, light and airy with absolutely cracking sea views. Weve been going to Westward Ho! for many years and this has the best view with easy access to all the shops.
