A delightful property situated in the vibrant village of Braunton, close to the glorious sandy surfing beaches of Saunton and Croyde, this is the perfect escape for friends or families to enjoy both the coast and countryside of North Devon. Braunton is home to a good selection of shops, family-friendly pubs and restaurants. The popular town of Barnstaple is 6 miles away, where you will find a theatre, cinema, a huge range of restaurants, shops and the famous Pannier Market. The huge sweeping beach of Saunton Sands is 2 miles from your front door, and the surfer's paradise of Croyde Bay 4 miles. This is a fantastic area for walking and cycling with easy access to the Tarka Trail from the village centre, where bikes can also be hired. For a day trip, visit Exmoor Zoo (16 miles) to learn about their conservation work. Further afield, the beautiful twin coastal villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (23 miles) offer up a slice of traditional fishing village life.

This property is finished to a high standard throughout. The entrance has slate flooring, which continues along the length of the hallway. Three good size bedrooms are all adjacent on the ground floor: one with a super king-size bed with option into twins on request (zip n link), one with a double bed, and one with twin single beds and a wall-mounted TV. There is a handy cloakroom off the hallway, and the fully tiled family bathroom is next door. The hall leads to the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where natural light floods in from two Velux windows, a side window and sliding patio doors. Upstairs is a lovely living room. With two sitting areas, there are plenty of comfy seats to choose from, including two reclining sofas. Great views across to Saunton can be enjoyed from three large Velux windows along one side of the room. With a Smart TV, CD player, choice of books and board games too, this is an ideal room in which to relax and enjoy social time together.

Outside, there is a small lawn and raised suntrap patio area with a table and chairs, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the area.

The property is lovely and clean. The lounge area has super comfortable sofas and is a lovely place to sit in the evenings. However, it can get warm up there! The kitchen has everything you need and the beds were comfortable. Its in a good location for Saunton Sands, Braunton Burrows and the village of Braunton itself although none are easily walkRead moreable. The garden is enclosed and suitable for dogs although, when we went, it needed a tidy up and some general tlc. Im sure thats not normally the case. The neighbour isnt a fan of dogs and isnt afraid to tell you so. If you have very barky dogs, this is potentially a problem. Overall, we had a great time at Pixie Croft. Hide

Pixie Croft is a lovely property and would highly recommend. Very clean and comfortable and very well equipped. Nice, secure garden for our dog too. Lovely location as well, as close to all amenities and yet away from any traffic. It was very peaceful. Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows only a few minutes drive away and are both beautiful (and dog Read morefriendly). Hide

A beautiful property, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. It had everything you needed to enjoy your holiday and we loved it. The table and chairs at the front of the property isnt shown in the photos and is a lovely addition where you can sit and chill. The road into the village from here is often backed up with traffic but its an easy walkRead more and the plus side is youre very close to Saunton Sands and dont have to queue through Braunton to get there! Well definitely visit again. Hide

We had a fabulous stay at Pixie Croft. The property has been very well thought out with great attention to detail with lots of little extras provided. Our days were spent walking and exploring so spending the evenings relaxing on the extremely comfy sofas was perfect. We can't wait to return when visiting Devon again.

We had a wonderful week at Pixie Croft. It was perfect for our needs - a family of 5 with three teenagers and a small dog. It was very clean, nicely furnished and extremely well equipped. We ate in most nights and felt very at home cooking in the kitchen. The upstairs lounge is spacious with very comfy sofas - a really relaxing place to chill afterRead more a day out. Braunton is a great spot, close to the beautiful Saunton Sands which is dog friendly and with a range of shops, cafes and pubs. Our kids did lots of water sports - coasteering at Croyde and stand up paddleboard at Fremington Quay as well as surfing at Saunton. All in very easy reach. Hide
