This delightful holiday cottage boasts a warm and welcoming interior and a lovely outdoor space, making it a wonderful base to explore this part of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The coastal town of Westward Ho! is renowned for its sand and pebble beach, which is perfect for beginner surfers and families thanks to its gentle rolling surf and lovely rock pools. It’s also a popular destination for nature lovers, owing to the Northam Burrows Country Park (1.5 miles), a Site of Special Scientific Interest home to rare plants and wildlife. A short drive takes you to the market town of Barnstaple (10.5 miles), or the unique, ancient fishing village of Clovelly (13 miles) whose steep, cobbled streets are closed to motorised traffic.

This single-storey cottage is finished to a high standard and comfortably furnished throughout. The front porch leads into a bright and airy lounge, with a selection of sofas and chairs, family dining table, and distant sea views from the window. This open-plan room leads through to the modern fitted kitchen, which is well equipped for all your catering needs. The bungalow has two bedrooms with ample storage space, one double and one single with an additional pull-out single bed. The property is completed by a family bathroom, and a light-filled conservatory off the single room with comfortable seating, a screen for gaming and DVDs, and additional dining table.

Outside, there’s a lawn patio to the front of the bungalow and an enclosed patio to the rear with a bench and outdoor dining table, so you can make the most of the warmer weather.

We had a brilliant week staying at Sea Breeze. We found the location to be perfect for us, it's within walking distance of the town but in a quiet location with a beautiful view. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable, it was also very clean. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The patio seating area was very relaxing. We would definRead moreitely return and not hesitate to recommend this cottage. Hide

Lovely bungalow, tucked away off the Main Street. Easy to park with a side access gate too. Garden safe for dogs which was a big plus. Ten to fifteen mins walk max to both the seafront and a gorgeous country park with roaming horses and sheep which also leads to the stunning beach. We loved walking this every day. Bungalow is well equipped. Would bRead moree good to have a welcome book with some information regarding the property and local attractions and amenities. Would use again. Thank you. Hide

We had a wonderful stay, the bungalow was really clean and very well equipped. The bed was really comfortable which was a bonus as normally when Im away the beds are always uncomfortable. Bungalow was close to shops and the beach so not needed to do much driving. A really enjoyable stay.

Lovely property. Very comfortable and well equipped. Second time we've visited Summer Breeze and very pleased we chose to book again as despite mixed weather we've had a really nice and relaxing week. Quiet location but close enough to walk to beach and town. Would recommend

Firstly, this is a very nice cottage in a lovely, quiet area. Light, roomy and spacious. Designated off road parking is a boon, although to reach could be a bit of a squeeze. We have a Qashqai and managed OK. The back gate opens out to the parking area to make transporting cases in and out very easy. Very well equipped with utensils, crockery and cRead moreooking equipment. The living area was very comfortable. There is a selection of games to keep all ages occupied. There is also a garden store full of beach equipment - body boards, buckets, spades, wind-breaks etc. The garden is very nice and fully enclosed if you have dogs. It would have been nice if after spending 6 hours on the M5 carpark on a Saturday before Bank Holiday, to have been able to make a cup of tea or coffee upon arrival. This is the first cottage I have been to where none was supplied. I would think for over 900 a week, it wouldn't have been too much to ask. The double bed is a metal frame and creaks a lot when you move, plus the mattress is very uncomfortable. The big issue though is the cleanliness. There was a film of noticeable dust on all of the venetian blinds - kitchen and bathroom, plus in the drawers in the bedroom. There was also a smell of damp in the bedroom. This was even more noticeable when the wardrobe doors and the cupboards above the bed were opened . Under the bed, there was a thick line of black dust on the skirting. It doesn't look like this area has been cleaned or hoovered in some time. Hide

A lovely little bungalow. It was clean and easy to keep on top of as all cleaning equipment was available in the bungalow. There was a lovely view of the sea and only a 15 minute walk to the beautiful beach. The contact with the owners/company was brilliant and kept us updated throughout. We highly recommended it!

Lovely comfortable well equipped property. We were lucky with the weather and once we'd had a beach walk found it lovely to sit in the garden at Summer Breeze. Really good bungalow, high standard overall and would love to visit again.

On arrival ten minutes after the set arrival time, gardener and cleaner still on premises taking up parking space forcing us to park elsewhere which upset a neighbour. On entering the property, kitchen and living room floors were both still very wet. Items of glassware were dirty, so, had to inspect several and wash immediately. We noticed that theRead more fridge/freezer was set on number 6 which we thought was high, despite this, both the fridge and freezer did not appear to work to full capacity taking a long time for items to chill in the fridge and for ice to be made in the freezer. We came to this conclusion after monitoring its performance until Tuesday morning when we then reported the matter, we were informed that it would be checked on our departure. However, despite the above we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Summer Breeze and Westward Ho! and so did our dog, Buddy. Hide
