Enjoy a romantic retreat at this one-bed apartment, with everything you could possibly need in a quiet Braunton location. Slick, contemporary interiors lend it a light and welcoming air, perfect for leaving the cares of everyday life behind. It’s in a great spot within the village, but also with country and riverside walks nearby as well as North Devon’s golden beaches like Saunton Sands (3.5 miles). While away the hours just relaxing on the large, decked veranda. You can lounge here with a good book or cook up a storm on the BBQ before dining alfresco. The views of the valley and surrounding countryside are breathtaking.

This deluxe apartment forms the ground floor of an attractive, partially wood-clad townhouse in an elevated position, taking full advantage of the wonderful views. The owners live above. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a generous, bright and airy room, all the more so if you open the two sets of French doors onto the large veranda for inside-outside living. The big king-size bedroom features a dressing table in a quirky alcove. Attractive light wood flooring and clever use of mirrors really help brighten this beautiful apartment further, giving it a super relaxing feel. The decked veranda is impressive with dining and lounging furniture plus a BBQ. 

The village of Braunton offers independent shops, cafes and places to eat in or take out. The popular Tarka Trail can be picked up here, which is great for cyclists and walkers. Surfing hot spots abound at Saunton Sands, Croyde Beach (6 miles) and Woolacombe Beach (7 miles). You’re also just on the edge of the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its stunning coastal and inland scenery. So, get exploring!

Beautiful property, home from home. Spotlessly clean. The decking area is lovely. Perfect location, 10 minute walk to town centre which has plenty of good pubs and restaurants. Staunton sands is a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely apartment, spotless clean and a good location within the village for pubs and resturants. The owner and her husband were lovely and very welcoming. Becky gave us some great advice for cycling the Tarka Trail. (If going to a pub for good local beer the Black Horse is recommened - other pubs in the village are pretty grotty to be honest. SQRead more, Squires and the Thai restrant recommended for eats) Hide
