Superb Saunton Getaway

In a beachside spot in dreamy Saunton, this bright, two-bedroom apartment creates the ideal location for a holiday - especially if you're into surfing, long walks or scenic picnics. You'll have panoramic ocean vistas from the comfort of your living room and only need to walk 150 metres to feel the warm sand under your toes. Saunton Sands is a firm favourite with beginner surfers thanks to its gentle waves, three-mile stretch of golden beach and turquoise sea.

The apartment, ideal for couples or families, stretches across the entire first floor and feels light and airy inside. Relax with fellow guests in the open-plan lounge, which has a comfy sofa, armchair, Smart TV and - best of all - wall-to-wall sea views. The modern kitchen and dining area set you up for leisurely breakfasts or hearty dinners after a day in the sun. The two beautiful bedrooms both feature super-king-size zip-and-link beds (which can be made into twins) and more of those soothing sea views. A family bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC rounds out the interior. Outside, you can enjoy a shared terraced garden with seating, a designated BBQ area for sizzling up something tasty, and even a sunken trampoline to keep little ones (or fun-loving adults!) entertained. There's private parking for two cars.

You'll be just 150 metres from the start of the South West Coast Path, giving access to the breathtaking Braunton Burrows, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve rich in wildlife and rolling dunes. Braunton itself (2 miles) has local shops, pubs and a friendly village vibe. Or head to Croyde Bay (1 mile), located around the headland - a hotspot for surfers and sunseekers alike. Woolacombe (7 miles) is another popular spot, with its expansive beach and yet more sand, surf and scenic views. Golfers will be keen to check out the prestigious 36-hole Saunton Golf Club (0.5 miles).
