  • Fabulous detached coastal home with sea views from many rooms and the balcony! Lovingly fitted and furnished with private hot tub and games room
  • Walking distance to the beach at Westward Ho! and all the amenities in this popular seaside town including cafes, restaurants, arcade, wetsuit and surfboard hire, crazy golf and locally made Hockings ice cream
  • Why not roam the rugged coastline along the South West Coast Path? Visit the bustling quayside of Appledore nearby? Take the ferry to Lundy island? Or venture the wilds of Exmoor National Park?
Property code: OC-66659

This superb coastal home, less than a mile’s walk to Westward Ho! Beach, is perfect for you and your family – and that includes the four legged members! Sleeping eight across four peaceful bedrooms, it won’t be long before you’re up and about wandering the streets of this pretty seaside town; take a stroll along the South West Coast Path with the pups and discover the beautiful coastal landscape. With stunning views from the glass-fronted balcony, a hot tub and a games room with table football and a PlayStation 3, the whole family will have a wonderful holiday here.

The property, which has a reverse-level layout, is stylish and contemporary but maintains its charm. The bedrooms, three of which are on the ground floor, are cosy and comfortable with calming tones of the sea and sand, while the games room provides endless entertainment whatever the weather. Upstairs, the living quarters offer stunning views; relax among fresh and bright decor in the lounge or enjoy an al fresco meal on the patio in the sun while the hounds run around in the enclosed garden. Sizzle up a BBQ and spend a long summer evening outside. Kids and dogs will love exploring Northam Burrows Country Park, less than 2 miles away and just behind the beach – from here you can wander the South West Coast Path too.

There’s plenty to do within Westward Ho! itself, with amusement arcades and cafes as well as paddleboarding and surfing schools for the more adventurous. Heading out of town, pop over to Appledore (2 miles) and jump on the ferry over to Instow (3 miles including ferry), where you can enjoy a pub lunch looking out across the River Torridge.

Great house, well located for easy access to Westward Ho. There was plenty of space for a 3 generation group, the kids loved the games room, the garden and the adults the gorgeous view from the lounge. Plenty of equipment for cooking. Overall we all had a lovely Easter week, helped by the mainly glorious weather.

Westfield is a lovely property which had all the amenities required to make our family Christmas comfortable and enjoyable. Was too cold to enjoy the hot tube but the location was lovely and a great base to explore surrounding areas including Westward Ho, Bideford and Bude which was less that 30 miles away. Overall an excellent stay.

The house is in elevated position with lovely views of the sea - even better with binoculars. Well equipped and comfortable with the added benefit of a hot tub . Plenty of space and comfortable beds . A couple of small issues were dealt with quickly despite the owner actually being out of the country on his own holiday,
