Retreat 39723 – Bideford, Devon

This delightful seaside retreat nestles in a convenient spot ideal for spending days on the beach at Westward Ho!. Sleeping four guests this is a great bolthole for couples or small families who love the long stretch of golden sand which is renowned for its surfing as well as its swimming. Walk or drive through the sand dunes of Northam Burrows Country Park to reach the beach from this property which has an upside-down design to maximise its views out across the countryside and towards the coast.

The fishing village of Appledore is 2 miles away where you can potter in shops and galleries and in the high season catch the ferry over to Instow where there is another smaller estuary beach and sand dunes. Let yourselves into the property at the ground-floor level; here you will find a king-size with an en-suite shower room and WC and a twin room. Both bedrooms have TVs and there is also a family bathroom downstairs.

Make your way upstairs to the first floor to emerge into the spacious airy lounge/kitchen/diner with glass doors opening on to a balcony which looks out towards the sea. Sit outside on warm evenings or inside when it is cooler perhaps in front of the Smart TV. The modern kitchen area in this space is well equipped with everything you require to help you prepare tasty meals. Sit outside in the rear enclosed patio area and maybe fire up the gas BBQ if you feel like cooking out in the fresh air.

Or while away a few hours in your very own hot tub. You could also head out onto the first-floor balcony with a cuppa or your favourite tipple and enjoy the commanding views.
