About this property
Escape to the coast in this characterful cottage, just 300 metres from Woolacombe’s gorgeous, sandy beach. The property has a sociable, open-plan layout, and would suit both couples and small families. You’ll have easy access to fabulous walks along the South West Coast Path and you can enjoy day trips to Ilfracombe (6 miles) and Lynton and Lynmouth (21 miles).
The former fish and chip shop has been lovingly renovated to an exceptionally high standard. The single-storey property is full of personality, with vaulted ceilings and exposed trusses sitting alongside contemporary furniture and luxurious accessories. After a day at the beach, stretch out on the comfortable corner sofa in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. The stylish kitchen area has everything you need to create delicious feasts to share around the beautiful wooden dining table. There are two bedrooms: a king-size and a super-king-size that can be made up as a twin on request. A luxury bathroom completes the property. There is no outdoor space at the cottage, but you’ll find a children’s play park just 150 metres away, and the golden sands of the beach are within 300 metres.
Woolacombe boasts a fabulous array of eateries, from cosy village pubs to exquisite, fine-dining restaurants. There’s also a cute collection of independent boutiques and galleries to peruse. Adventure-seekers can try their hand at a whole host of outdoor activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, horse riding, and hang gliding. The Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe makes a lovely day out. Wander around its picturesque harbour and admire Damien Hirst’s Verity statue, climb Capstone Hill for panoramic views, or hop on a boat to spend a magical afternoon on the remote Lundy Island.

Ms Ward
The cottage is lovely and has everything you need for a home from home stay. The bed was extremely comfortable which was needed after busy hiking days. The location is fantastic and Woolacombe has such any amazing vibe and beach.

Vardan is in a great location, close to the beach and centre of Woolacombe. The cottage is well equipped and we had a lovely stay. Parking the car with the supplied permit was easy and we always found a spot on the road. Not always easy in Woolacombe where parking is at a premium. Towards the end of our week there was building work carried out on an adjacent property which was quite noisy which we were not aware of before booking.

Lovely cottage, fresh modern decor, but also preserving some of the period features of the building. All modern appliances present and tvs in all rooms! [Except the bathroom!] Cottage is centrally located in Woolacombe and just a short stroll from the beautiful sandy beach; great for surfing or just relaxing. Thoroughly recommend.
