Seaside Nostalgia Mortehoe, Devon

Holiday Rental Description

Summers spent at the seaside live long in the memory of families, and this home will be another one to add to the memory bank. Live out your own childhood nostalgia of building sandcastles on sandy shores and sunny walks along the coastline. Being situated between the popular Devon destinations of Woolacoombe and Ilfracombe, you'll be in a prime location to take full advantage of a seaside holiday here. Spend ten minutes wandering the local coast path to Grunta Beach where the turquoise water gleams like blue crystals in the sun, or make the six minute-drive to Woolacombe for a classic English day out at the beach on a huge stretch of sand with sea waves to jump over.

English cottages don't come much more traditional than this one with its characterful wooden beams and doors. With a wood burner and garden oasis to enjoy, the whole family will love returning here after a day out on the sand. Pick up some freshly caught fish & chips at the shop next door and live out your seaside nostalgia. While this home is traditional in many ways, we can't help but admire the handmade copper bathtub in the master bedroom – a real touch of modern luxury in a classic English home.
