With the outstanding views and a ground floor bedroom, the whole family can relax and unwind with a touch of luxury for that much deserved holiday. Step inside and you will see that the kitchen has everything you need for rustling up feasting treats and as you walk into the sitting room your eyes will be drawn to the fantastic views where you can lounge and relax and simply marvel at the beauty. The three bedrooms are beautifully styled with luxurious linens for you to sink into at the end of a busy day; wake to estuary views in the master bedroom and pamper yourself a little in the gorgeous en-suite bathroom.
Let the children play in the garden or compete over table tennis, while you take your coffee on the large patio area or escape to the cottage garden or the summerhouse with a good book. Surrounded by the lovely gardens you can easily lose a few hours taking in the views from inside or out. The village of Ashford is situated to make the most of the views giving a feeling of peace, quiet and countryside air with Braunton providing all your amenity needs. Take a trip to the historic market town of Barnstaple which offers some good shopping and nightlife for the young at heart.
Pack your bucket and spade and head off to one of the sandy beaches along the North Devon coast, with Woolacombe, Saunton and Croyde all within easy driving distance and offering miles of soft sand, plenty for the water-sport enthusiast and don't forget to have the compulsory Devon Cream Tea! A superb choice whether you are looking to relax and unwind or love the great expanse of sandy beaches for fun family time together – go ahead, make some wonderful family memories.
Braunton is a village in North Devon, situated right at the centre of the North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporating Braunton Burrows, the largest area of sand dunes in Europe, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. A couple of miles from the village is Saunton Sands beach, a three-mile stretch of beautiful west-facing sandy beach, backed by the sand dunes. Stroll along the beach, enjoy the surfing, or have a leisurely picnic. Just five minutes around the headland is Croyde Bay an excellent surfing beach, and round the next headland is Woolacombe Bay, another 3 mile stretch of beautiful sandy beach. There are some fabulous golf courses in the area including Saunton, Portmore or Royal North Devon golf courses. The South West Coast Path from Braunton to Instow follows part of the Tarka Trail along the estuary of the River Taw. This is part of North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve and much of the route follows old railway trackbeds, which now serve as an easy level route for walkers as well as cyclists. An understated part of Devon, with plenty to do for coast and country lovers alike.

Chris
A clean, well equipped cottage in a very enviable position with panoramic views over the Taw Estuary. There is also the best welcome pack that you will ever receive. Charlesworth is ideally placed to explore the local area. Fantastic walking nearby at Crow Point, Braunton Burrows and Saunton Sands, all within a short car journey away. Slightly further away are walks at NT Baggy Point and Morte Point not forgetting the lovely beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe. Your dog will love them. A lovely stay and we will return without a doubt.

Lovely friendly owner who provides the best welcome pack you'll get anywhere! Great area, with lovely beaches and fantastic walking. Spekes Mill waterfall, Morte Point and Baggy Point to Putsborough beach are not to be missed. Can't wait to return.
