Overview
Property code: 47214

Enjoying sea views, this luxurious property, with indoor swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, is a great base for exploring the delights of North Devon.

Just a short walk from the seaside village of Westward Ho!, this six-bedroom property sits in an elevated position above the town enjoying magnificent views across Bideford Bay. With two lounges, an indoor pool complex and extensive gardens, this is the perfect property for family gatherings or special celebrations on the North Devon coast. Spend the day on the golden sandy beach, exploring the rock pools and splashing in the surf. Why not book a private group lesson with the local surf school and ride the waves together? Slightly further along the coastline is picturesque Appledore, full of lively pubs and well-regarded eateries. Pick up some freshly-caught fish straight from the fishing boats on the Quay to BBQ for a tasty evening meal.

Set on a quiet residential road, this impressive property offers luxurious accommodation with oodles of space to relax and unwind in. Bathed in natural light from the large picture windows, sink into one of the sumptuous sofas in the lounge to chat about the highlights of your day or watch a family film on the TV. For quieter moments, curl up in the cosy second lounge, where exposed beams and wood burner create a welcoming space to sit and read a book or catch up on the news. The magnificent kitchen is a cook's paradise equipped with everything you may need to produce simple suppers or celebratory meals. There is room for everyone around the elegant dining table to share leisurely breakfasts or sociable suppers. After a day of surfing or bodyboarding, stretch out aching muscles in the incredible indoor swimming pool, complete with hot tub and sauna. Heading upstairs at the end of the day you will find four well-appointed bedrooms. The master suite is an indulgent space with a king-size bed, lounge area, en-suite bathroom and sea-facing private balcony. A spacious double room benefits from an en-suite shower room and the two twin bedrooms share the family bathroom. There is a further ground-floor double bedroom and separate WC and another twin bedroom on the second floor. Share an al fresco meal in your private garden enjoying spectacular sunsets and extensive views across to Lundy Island.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.

A really lovely house with a great view of the bay. It was a shame that the view would have been so much better if it were not for the obscuring trees. The house has been well furnished, but I have to say not with the older person in mind. No ramps for access to the front door, most seating was very low and getting into the pool could only be done Read moreby an upright ladder. However the house is well heated and the pool was always warm. My one gripe would be that maintenance needs to be more frequent Hide

Lovely house - close to shops and the beach. The swimming pool was great, thats why we booked the house for a week so the kids had a holiday (similar to going abroad). The house was equipped with everything we needed.

The property was magnificent, but after paying 5700 for a weeks accommodation I would have expected enough toilet rolls, soap and shower gel, dish washer tablets etc to be provided for the stay! Also found a mouldy mug and a tray of roasted potatoes in the oven! Check in after 5 pm and departure before 10am, removes almost a whole day from the rentRead moreal. Overall the property outweighs these indiscretions, but these few things would have elevated it to a really amazing holiday. Hide

Not suitable if you like walking to the beach a very steep hill to it. Pool area is a great asset to this property. Two very large Lourges which are great for spreading yourself out also very different in decor one very traditional and the other very modern.
