Bask in the sunshine on the long, golden beach at Westward Ho! when you stay at this newly built holiday home on the outskirts of Bideford in Devon. Swim, surf and play games on the famous beach, which is just 3 miles from this stylish property. Nestled in a tranquil spot, within attractive gardens and with its own hot tub, the four-bedroom retreat sleeps up to eight guests and has been carefully finished to ensure a high level of comfort. Ideal for an extended family or perhaps two families on a Devon break together, the stylish property makes a great base from which to explore the countryside and coast.

All the bedrooms have Smart TVs. There is also a family bathroom and a bedroom with a small double bed. Make your way upstairs to the chic, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where light pours in through enormous windows. Stoke up the wood burner on chilly nights and lay the table in the dining area for lively meals together. Find the kitchen, with all its modern fittings, provides everything you require to help you whip up tasty meals with the fresh, local produce you have bought. Make yourself a fresh cup of coffee in the machine then perch at the breakfast bar on the island as you enjoy it. Find you have a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer to make your break as easy as possible. Spill out into the garden with your family and friends.

Nice spot with a sense of space and peace. The building is very well finished and is really comfortable. It is fully fenced, so your kids and dog can't wander into the road. As others have said, the hot tub is great, I would add that the beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are particularly nice for a holiday let.
