Overview
Property code: OC-STABB

This lovingly restored, traditional white cottage sits in the historic quarter of the village of Braunton and is surrounded by countryside in its spot on the North Devon Coast: perfect for outdoorsy breaks, whether you’re a family or group of friends. Ramble or cycle on any of the nearby paths including the famous Tarka Trail which goes through the village and past the Taw Estuary; or visit picturesque beaches like Croyde (5.5 miles by car, 4.5 miles on foot), Woolacombe (7 miles by car, 5.5 miles on foot) and Putsborough (4.5 miles) which are great for surfing or simply relaxing. When it’s time to put up your feet, head into one of Braunton’s charming pubs or restaurants for a relaxed evening out. For the theatre or cinema, or a wider range of places to eat and drink, head to the market town of Barnstaple, just 6 miles away.

Settle into the cosy cottage together, starting in the stylish ground-floor living space where you’ll find sofas, comfy seats and a dining set for four. Enjoy dinners beside the double-glazed doors that look out to the courtyard and let in lots of natural light. Open them in summer to let in the lovely country air. If you’re visiting in winter, you’ll appreciate the underfloor heating and the wood burner in the feature fireplace, offering extra cosiness. There’s plenty of family entertainment thanks to the USB facilities and 65-inch Smart TV with a Sky package. The big kitchen features a Bosh Tassimo coffee machine and the ground-floor bathroom has a bath with a shower over to enjoy after beach days. Head upstairs to find the two homely bedrooms: a super-king-size and a twin.

Through the living area’s double doors, take one step down to the enclosed courtyard with space for your pet to enjoy. The raised decking (one step up) with wrought iron bench, chairs and coffee table is a great al fresco dining spot for evenings using the BBQ. They’ve thought of it all, as there are even facilities for your outdoor pursuits including a cycle or surfboard secure anchor point, a wet suit hanging rail and an outside hose and shower for pets and wetsuits.

A very warm, clean, comfortable and welcoming property that is well appointed with modern appliances. We especially appreciated the enormous television, wood burner and EV charge point. There is off road parking but the entrance is narrow and anyone with a large SUV would find manoeuvring challenging. We feel that this property is best avoided by tRead morehe elderly and those with mobility issues as the stairs are steep and slippery and the bath is deep and not fitted with a grab handle. Despite these comments, we had a lovely holiday in this charming property and thoroughly recommend it. The "Aggi" pub two minutes away is extremely friendly and provides a decent menu at fair prices. Unfortunately because of the weather we were unable to use the attractive outside sitting area, but this property provides an excellent base for exploring north Devon. Hide

Brilliant location, well appointed with some lovely homely touches. Excellent smart TV and well appointed kitchen. Well arranged and dog friendly with a guard at the bottom of the stairs. This was a return visit and we hope to be back again next year. Thank you!

A beautiful, comfortable, very well equipped cottage. Spotlessly clean. Everything seemed high spec. Good quality kitchen equipment, towels and bedding. The cottage is beautifully decorated with lots of lovely touches. Shops, cafes and takeaways just a minutes walk away. Beaches close by. We really enjoyed our stay.

The Stables is a lovely cottage for a family of four. Well-equipped, comfortable beds, great location and within a short walking distance from the center of Braunton, we enjoyed our week long stay.

We stayed as a family of 4 in July and found this to be a great base for visiting all of the local areas. When we came home each evening it was easy to use the local pubs, restaurants and takeaways for food without having to drive as there were plenty to choose from on the doorstep and also having the well-stocked Co-op just round the corner was pRead moreerfect for getting what we needed to self-cater. The cottage is small but spacious as its open plan. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cleaning products to get started with, plus a cordless hoover to use as needed. The quality of the crockery and glasses were much nicer and they were clean and plentiful, the same for bedding and towels which were fluffy and comfortable. The little shed outside had some body boards and beach equipment in that we borrowed and then put back for the next guests which was a lovely touch and saved us having to buy these as we hadn't brought our own. The parking is off-road, but there is only enough length for one car - however we have a large Audi estate and it was perfect for us, the car was secure and well back from the pavement. Our only query would be that there was no information left regarding the bin collection days and this would have been helpful as the bin was quite full already on our arrival and we would liked to have put this out for collection so it could be fully emptied. But overall we would have no hesitation in recommending this property, we had a fabulous holiday and look forward to returning again! Hide
