A striking, modern, seaside retreat, this chic Devon abode is in a superb position for spending days on the beach at Westward Ho! Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is 1 mile from the 2-mile-long stretch of sand, which is known for its surfing, as well as its swimming. Walk or drive through the sand dunes of Northam Burrows Country Park to reach the beach from this property, which has an upside-down design to maximise its views out across the countryside and towards the coast. Also spend time in pretty Appledore, 2 miles away, where you can potter in shops and galleries, and in the high season catch the ferry over to Instow, where there is another, smaller beach.

Let yourselves into the property at the ground-floor level to find this is where your bedrooms, a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a twin, are situated. Both bedrooms have TVs and there is also a family bathroom downstairs. Make your way upstairs to the first floor to emerge into the spacious, airy lounge/kitchen/diner, with its glass doors opening to a balcony, which looks out towards the sea. Sit outside on warm evenings or inside when it is cooler, perhaps in front of the Smart TV. The modern kitchen area in this space is well equipped with everything you require to help you prepare tasty meals with your own ingredients.

Sit outside at the table on the patio in your lawn garden after days at the beach, lighting the BBQ if you feel like cooking out in the fresh air. Relax up on the first-floor balcony with a cup of tea or glass of wine to enjoy the commanding views.

We loved our stay at the cottage and the dog very much enjoyed the little lawn area. The weather wasn't great for most of our stay but we had a cosy time inside. Took some walks down to the beach and explored the surrounding areas.

This is a fantastic property, had everything you could wish for, even cake baking! It was warm when you needed as we visited end October, but also can sit out on the veranda and enjoy the Sun. Beds and sofas were really comfy, really clean and tidy with views of the sea, cant recommend enough.

We've stayed at The Lookout six times and always look forward to visiting Westward Ho! and having the benefit of staying here as a base. The house is always spotless and very comfortable with plenty of equipment. The well equipped house and I really do mean well equipped is second to none. The sunsets from the French doors looking out to Lundy IslaRead morend are amazing in the summer. There is just so much to do here in Westward Ho!. Walking, surfing, swimming, restaurants, little coffee places, shopping in nearby Bideford, amazing scenery, pubs, Rib boats, cycle paths and much much more, you won't get bored for choice here.
