Property code: OC-18DRIF

This bright and cheerful first-floor apartment is ideal for families looking for the perfect beach getaway. It could also suit a small group of friends holidaying together on the North Devon Coast. Woolacombe is a lively seaside town ever popular with families. Woolacombe Beach won The Sunday Times Beach of the Year award in 2021, and it is consistently highly rated for cleanliness and safety and often featured top of the list in Tripadvisor polls. Three miles of golden sand stretches between Morte Point and Baggy Point. In the summer it is very much family-orientated with lifeguards on hand throughout the season. Surfers also flock to its shores when the waves are right. This blissful beach is just 0.25 miles from the apartment and there are many restaurants, cafes and bars on the surrounding streets and seafront. The historic cliff top village of Mortehoe is 1.2 miles away, and from there you can enjoy dramatic walks along the coastal path. The larger seaside town of Ilfracombe is 6 miles down the coast with its pretty harbour and great range of places to eat, drink and shop. Alternatively, walkers can delve into the many charms of Exmoor National Park, both coastal and inland.

The apartment is on the first-floor and is accessed via a flight of external steps. Once inside the whole accommodation is on one level. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas are welcoming and cheerful with all you need for your holiday. There are plenty of sofas to relax on, a dining table next to the large window and a neat little kitchen area. Three bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements with a double room and two single rooms. All are equipped with a TV and DVD player and one of the single rooms has an additional pull-out single bed, or space for a cot. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and there is a useful separate WC.

Outside you’ll find a handy covered area just outside the front door where guests can leave their wet beach gear. There is also a small bistro-style table here and two chairs – perfect for a solo or couple’s escape with a morning coffee. Secure storage space is available at the rear of the apartment block.
