Choose from the warm and welcoming sitting room with plenty of seating, a woodburning stove, and Smart TV, a great space to relax in, or take a seat in the inviting snug with sofas and another woodburning stove, which forms a delightful focal point to the room and is somewhere you can imagine spending lots of time catching up on the day’s adventures. Alternatively, there is a fantastic games room complete with table tennis, pool, and air hockey, to keep you entertained for hours. When it’s time to eat, then the resident chef will be delighted with the amply fitted kitchen/diner which has everything needed to produce hearty meals for the holiday party with an elegant dining area, all ready to host formal dinner parties and informal breakfasts and brunches. If the Devon sun is shining down, then make your way out to the gardens which as well as lawns, a barbecue, and a patio area has a fabulous summerhouse, the perfect spot for some alfresco entertaining. There is even an outdoor shower here! After a day of exploring and socialising, you’ll be ready for bed, so take your pick from five wonderfully-appointed bedrooms, featuring a tucked away double bedroom, a double bunk bedroom that sleeps four, a king-size master suite with far-reaching views, and a stunning en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, a super-king-size (zip/link) and a further king-size. There is no better place to wake up in the morning than Sundial, where you can enjoy a full breakfast together, either in the kitchen/diner or outside, and plan your day's activities. Stroll into Braunton, which has a great selection of shops and eateries, and because this is in the heart of the North Devon Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty, there are plenty of walks and trails to enjoy, with some great bird and wildlife to spot along the way, as well as the South West Coastal Path, which also offers some stunning scenery along the Tarka Trail. Check out the neighboring beaches, including Saunton Sands, which offers three miles of golden sand, Croyde Bay, which is renowned among surfers, and Woolacombe Bay. An amazing adventure awaits at Sundial.
