Settle down in this stylish Grade II-listed hideaway in a charming Cornish seaside village with a golden sandy all-year-round canine-friendly beach. After a day of exploring the coast and the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, head back to your home-away-from-home and warm up in front of the wood burner or get cosy in the snug.

This three-story semi-detached colonial-style property has a large open-plan living area on the ground floor, with quartz worktops, a dining table and chairs as well as a bay window. There is also a utility room and bathroom on this level. Upstairs is a romantic king-size bedroom with an en-suite and a double room. Climb another set of stairs to reach the second floor which has a snug with a TV, a bathroom and a twin room. Outside is a sheltered patio with garden furniture and outhouse storage for surfboards and bikes.

Continue west to reach Saunton Sands (3 miles) which is a vast sandy surfing beach with a cafe and spectacular views. From here, you can walk along to Croyde and beyond – eventually reaching Baggy Point and Putsborough Beach (4.5 miles). In the other direction, head south to reach Crow Point nature reserve (4 miles), where you’ll be able to look across the water to Gresands Beach and Westward Ho! (16 miles).

Well equipped cottage, excellent kitchen, comfortable beds, good location and within walking distance of all amenities, although the best pub in Braunton was probably the one next door, so look no further. Parking a bit hit and miss but not a real problem.

Lovely location, well equipped cottage. Parking was not a major issue and we were able to park directly outside most days. Black Horse next door was great for food, nice quiet, friendly pub.

Comfortable and quiet location. Limited parking in very narrow local roads. However, having a pub next door was a bonus!

We loved Gladstone - such a comfortable house with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Spotlessly clean and smelled really fresh on arrival. Comfortable beds etc. Great pub next door but no noise from there as a small quiet place. We could walk in to town for whatever meal/ takeaway we fancied! Beautiful beaches a short drive away.
