This home was once owned by Lady Chichester and is now a charming renovated period house. Conveniently located close to the ocean, you'll wake up to the sound of the waves every day. You get a gorgeous view of the beach from the bay windows, as well as a lovely patio to sit on while you watch the morning tide roll in, a cup of coffee in hand. The elegant yet modern decor makes every moment in this home a pleasure – we love the way the wooden staircase showcases the building's historic architecture. Walk in the footsteps of the Lady herself, and climb the stairs to the second floor to see where you'll be resting your head each night. Why not go for a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub before you have a bite for breakfast? The breakfast bar is perfect for a get-together before you all head out to the beach for the day. Journey down the Esplanade for an eighteen–minute walk to the popular Woolacombe Beach, taking in all the sights and sounds of the coastline as you tuck into ice cream. Barricane Beach is only a five–minute walk away from the home, which has a charming little beachside cafe for a quick bite. After a day of fun by the coast, head to The Tides Inn pub for a delicious homely meal, accompanied by a glass of red or even a pint of the finest ale. If you time it right, you'll be able to walk along the Esplanade while the sun sets – the amber glow reflecting off of the ocean as you return home. Once you arrive back at the house, pop the TV on to find your favourite movie on Sky, get yourself a toasty cuppa, and put your feet up.

About Woolacombe

Undulating hills rise up behind Woolacombe, creating a verdant backdrop that makes Woolacombe Beach one of the prettiest in Devon. In fact, the bay, which lies at the bottom of a valley, is often described as the best beach in Britain, with visitors able to surf, kayak and stand-up paddle board in its waters.
