This three-bedroom townhouse is an excellent choice for a family who like to rock up to their holiday cottage and head straight out to explore on foot. Located right between the high street and the coastline, the location is pretty perfect, and there’s plenty to see within a short drive away too.
The layout here is spot on for families – with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor, the kids can have their own space while mum and dad enjoy the peace in their own en-suite double on the floor below. Gather everyone around the table in the kitchen/diner while you serve up a hearty breakfast and plan the day’s adventures. On your return, the utility room is invaluable for sorting out wet, sandy towels and clothes, and the kids can retreat to the lounge upstairs. Fido will be happy snuffling around the courtyard garden, while you get the BBQ going and maybe even take 5 minutes to sit back and relax with a cuppa.
Being so central is a real treat when it comes to family holidays. Wander 200 metres down the road to Wildersmouth Beach where dogs are allowed all year, or half a mile to the harbour, where there’s also an aquarium. It’s a few hundred metres through Jubilee Gardens to join the South West Coast Path, ideal for those looking to explore further on foot, and about the same to the high street shops and restaurants. Beach lovers shouldn’t miss a trip to beautiful Woolacombe Beach, 7 miles from the house, where the golden sands seem to stretch on forever, while the surfer favourite of Croyde is 9 miles away.
