Grab a hefty dose of sea air at this North Devon cottage set within the grounds of a working lighthouse. Granted, the home's exteriors could be more characterful. But the sea views and striking distance to the beach more than make up for that – as do the home's fresh and contemporary interiors. One of four cottages within the lighthouse's grounds, you'll share the wider gardens, but there's a private terrace for alfresco breakfasts, too. It's worth noting you'll need a car as the cottage is blissfully secluded. But Woolacombe Beach and the village of Mortehoe are both just a short drive away.

Home truths:
*Access roads to the cottage are narrow, with limited passing places. There is parking within the grounds.
*A telephone with honesty box is provided as there is limited mobile signal. Given the remote location, the Wi-Fi speed and availability cannot be guaranteed, and therefore, the home is not suitable for remote working.
*The lighthouse does not have a fog signal, so you can sleep easy here.
*The perimeter of the site is fully fenced and gated, but once outside this area, it is very dangerous. Children will need to be supervised at all times.
*A travel cot and high chair are available on request.
*This is a heritage building. Therefore certain features, such as steps and floor levels, may not comply with that of a modern building.
