Property code: OC-DOLPC

This cosy cottage with rustic features and charming outdoor space is located in the heart of quaint village, Braunton, on the North Devon Coast. Head to the village centre (less than half a mile) and you’ll find something for all the family: restaurants, ice cream shops and cafes selling must-try Devon cream teas. Looking for some outdoor adventures? There are plenty of nearby beaches to hop between including Putsborough (6 miles by car, 4.5 miles on foot), which boasts 3 miles of sand, and picturesque Woolacombe (7.5 miles by car, 5.5 miles on foot). Both are famous for surfing: hire wetsuits or visit surf shops in Braunton and try your hand at surf schools in Croyde (5 miles by car, 4 miles on foot). If you’re visiting in summer, take a boat trip to Lundy Island where you might be lucky enough to spot some wildlife and marine life.

Settle into the stylish ground-floor lounge with its wooden floors and snug leather sofas. Turn on the TV and relax in front of the wood burner in its feature brick fireplace for a cosy night in. The kitchen is rustic chic: think statement hanging lamps, ceramic wall tiles and wooden floors. Families can enjoy dinner together thanks to the extendable dining table. Head up to the first floor to find the homely double and lovely twin bedroom. The modern bathroom boasts a walk-in shower.

A cottage highlight has to be the enclosed outdoor space with plants, lawn and a paved area. Kick back at the four-seater wooden table and make use of the disposable BBQ area for evenings of private al fresco dining with the traditional white cottage as your backdrop. There’s a charming wooden garden shed up some steps.

My holiday companion was my adult son who has Down syndrome with associated learning difficulties. It was lovely to spend 2 weeks quality time with him. My son took charge of the remote control(!) and learned how to access YouTube immediately so he could watch his favourite clips. We know the area well as my grandmother lived nearby so I visitedRead more frequently as a child and even attended Caen Primary school briefly. I wanted my children to create similar memories of Saunton Sands, Squires Fish & Chips etc that I had, so we rented cottages in N Devon many times. I must have been successful as they both wanted to visit N Devon as adults. The cottage was so comfortable and warm (we visited at the end of October). It was easy to imagine living there full time. Although parking next to the cottage was not possible, it was not a problem walking the short way to Wrafton Street for free parking. In any case, the cottage was so close to all that central Braunton could offer that we only used the car to go to Saunton Sands. Hide

An excellent property for two adults. We thought it might be a bit cramped with four adults. We found road side parking (2 cars) acceptable.

We love this cottage and yet again had the perfect stay. Weve stayed here on many occasions and its so close to the shops, restaurants and beaches. The cottage is home to home and has everything + that you needed for your stay.
