Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Woolacombe, Devon

Soak up the sights and sounds of the sea from this spectacular waterfront apartment, a gem on the Devonshire coast. The first-floor abode is right on Woolacombe Bay's esplanade, within constant view of the South West Coast Path and the pristine sands of the beautiful beach. The property has been dutifully laid out with space for two to unwind, an ideal destination for romantic retreats filled with endless walking, biking, or water-related activities.

Spend time learning to surf from a local surf school (0.5 miles), or simply rent some equipment and head out on the waves yourselves. Take an external walkway up to the second floor and let yourselves into this stunning apartment. Laid out on a single storey, the property is cheerful with everything you need in close reach.

Sociable mornings and nights can be spent in the lounge/kitchen/diner, a place for dishing up tasty meals and getting cosy together on the sofa with the Smart TV on. Just next door is your bedroom, a well-proportioned double, and a bathroom with a sumptuous walk-in shower. When the sun shines, step outside and get to know your neighbours in the shared garden area, accessible via steep stairs.

With a BBQ, outdoor seating, and views of the sea, you'll love summer nights spent here. With the beach on your doorstep, you needn't plan anything else to do throughout summer month stays - sunbathing, swimming, and surfing will fill all your days. You can, of course, step out walking and explore the wider Devonshire coast, following a rural coastal pathway up to Morte Point (1.5 miles) to admire Lundy Island views or all the way along to Ilfracombe (5.5 miles) to explore the fascinating Tunnels Beaches.

In between both of those spots, the beautiful Lee Bay Beach (3.5 miles) is a hidden delight to discover.
