Property code: 86640

This outstanding North Devon holiday home certainly has the ‘wow’ factor with its sumptuous modern interiors, private hot tub and terraced patio garden with plenty of space for family, friends and four-legged companions to relax. Discover wonderful, award-winning beaches, sniff out adventure on the South West Coast Path and roam the Tarka Trail through the beautiful Devonshire countryside.

This immaculate detached house is approached down a small lane and has its own private drive. Enter the reverse-level home into a spacious entrance hall, the perfect place to hang coats and store sandy shoes after a day on the beach. Pass the four stylish bedrooms on your way to the stairs, none of which would look out of place in a 5-star hotel. Upstairs, the expansive first floor is entirely given over to an open-plan living space kitted out with the latest appliances, sumptuous seating and a contemporary wood burner that's sure to be a hit with the furry members of your group. Outside, the sense of luxury continues with a multi-level patio garden sporting sun loungers, a dining table and chairs, fire pit, BBQ and your very own hot tub. There is also an outdoor shower, ideal for washing off those sandy paws.

All the shops, restaurants and amenities of Bideford are on your doorstep in this convenient location. The Tarka Trail also passes through the town, a 180-mile walking and cycling loop that takes in some of the region's stunning woodland, rivers and open countryside. Nearby Instow (4 miles) is home to a fantastic golden-sand beach that welcomes dogs off the lead year-round. From here, a foot ferry will carry you and your canine companions across the estuary to the pretty town of Appledore, with its colourful houses and charming cobbled streets. Westward Ho! (3 miles) is another brilliant beachside destination. In the summer months, a 200-metre section of Westward Ho!’s beach is open for dogs to bound about; for the rest of the year, the entire 2-mile sweep of sand becomes their playground. Further afield, the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly is 11 miles from your door, where furry friends on leads can share the sights and sounds of rural coastal living in this beautifully preserved living time capsule.

Great holiday base for travelling around the North Devon area. The house itself is hidden away and lovely and welcoming after day out and about and comfortable for chilling out in and comfortable beds. Outside is great with the fantastic hot tub and outdoor shower with plenty seating in 3 different areas.

Absolutely fantastic stay in this gorgeous home. So modern, fresh and luxury feeling. So many little extras to make you feel at home at arent even listed here.

Nice spot with a sense of space and peace. The building is very well finished and is really comfortable. It is fully fenced, so your kids and dog can't wander into the road. As others have said, the hot tub is great, I would add that the beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are particularly nice for a holiday let.

The house was absolutely stunning, it seems like no expense was spared. Hot tub was huge, in general it was a really sociable space to relax and catch up with friends. I have been organising the girls trips for 10 years and this was by far the nicest place we have stayed. The welcome hamper was also a really nice touch. Thank you for a great stay!
