Look out over the fine golden sands and peeling surf of Woolacombe Bay from this boutique three-bedroom apartment. Just 150m from an award-winning beach, one of the finest in the South West, there are few better places for a family holiday that ticks all the boxes. Surfers, sunbathers and sand castle builders flock here over the warmer months (with committed surfers remaining in the depths of winter) and it's easy to see why.

The apartment is split across two levels, with a beach-inspired barefoot luxury interior that opens out onto two glass-fronted furnished balconies, one on each level. Wake up each morning, brew yourself a coffee and check the surf from the comfort of your apartment. Sure, you could check the internet, but it's not the same. With its inviting open layout, the kitchen/dining room/living area encourages you to spend time together as a group.

You're also ideally located for easy access to the bars, restaurants and surf shops that line Woolacombe's centre. After an early morning surf and a day spent enjoying all the on-site facilities at your disposal – including a gym, heated pool and sauna – why not head into town for a seafood dinner and to catch an open mic night at a local bar? While there are options to suit all tastes, enthusiastically tucking into an authentic Sri Lankan curry at nearby Barricane Beach is a sunset experience that's hard to top.

There's little reason to venture far for sun, sea and surf unless you're sheltering from south-westerlies at Putsborough or seeking out the occasionally heavy beach break at Croyde. However, keen golfers might like to test their mettle on the challenging links course at Saunton Golf Club, while landscape lovers should take the opportunity to explore the wilds of Exmoor's western edge, both within a half-hour drive.
