There’s a communal entrance with one other apartment and then a flight of stairs up to the entrance.
The luxury accommodation comprises an open plan living/kitchen/dining area with patio doors leading out on to a large balcony where you can sit and enjoy the incredible views with a drink in hand – the sunsets are truly wonderful! The living area has quality furniture and a Smart TV, and the kitchen area is very well equipped with everything you’ll need for your stay.

Pure luxury relaxation awaits you here! Outside there are two allocated parking spaces with additional parking available in the village public car park just ½ mile away.
The village of Woolacombe which is just below Mortehoe boasts 3 miles of golden sands, great surfing waves and a fantastic coastal footpath. There are shops, cafés, restaurants and a great boutique cinema in a local hotel too, all just a 10-minute stroll away! The main beach is patrolled by lifeguards in the summer, and you can make the most of the location for its beautiful sunsets, one of the spectacles regularly enjoyed by locals and surfers out on their boards in the Atlantic waters. Voted in 2020 Number 6 in Europe and Number 20 in the world, Woolacombe Beach is one of the best in the UK and is renowned for its cleanliness and water quality.
Should you choose to venture away from this stunning location, Woolacombe is perfectly positioned for exploring the truly awe-inspiring North Devon coastline and all its beauty and to enjoy the countless other North Devon attractions such as the popular Tarka Trail which provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and scenery stretching from Barnstaple through to Bideford and beyond. Then there’s Exmoor National Park with its magical night skies in Europe’s first Dark Sky Reserve, just 13 miles away and Lynton and Lynmouth, 20 miles to the east with its incredible sea views, rugged cliffs and amazing funicular cliff railway which opened in 1890 and is the highest and steepest totally water powered railway in the world! Of course, if Woolacombe isn’t enough for you, then there are several other world class beaches such as Saunton Sands, Croyde and Westward Ho! – all of which are famous for their surfing qualities, vast stretches of sand and great dunes! Keen golfer? Then look no further than the championship links golf course at Saunton, just 7 miles away. Beach 1 mile.

The whole building itself is stunning. We had the upper Duplex apartment and it doesn’t disappoint. On arrival, we entered and found the stairs going up to the apartment fairly dirty as are light coloured carpet which isn’t practical so inevitably shows lots of marks. Once you get into the apartment the cleanliness is very good. though. The bedrooms are lovely. Only 2 of the 4 have TVs and same with en-suites. The upper floor suite is lovely with dressing room space and en-suite. Sadly for us the feature Velux windows weren’t openable (we were informed shortly before hand this was the case) as needing work, so couldn’t get the complete experience but none the less the incredible view could still be appreciated. The balcony is large and again has amazing views and photo opportunities. Would be great in the summer (perhaps not with small children?) All the photos on the website are true to life. Comfortable beds, lovely towels. Modern kitchenThere were a couple of issues that needed attention- a leaky shower and a broken cupboard, but the contact person was happy to deal with them once advised as unaware. I would recommend as additions they consider supplying instructions for appliances and the heating as nothing in the welcome folder for the tvs, dishwasher, oven, washing machine etc..Also a bread bin, teapot, washing up bowl, drainer and pizza wheel/additional baking trays would also be brilliant as lacking a little. Some people have mentioned these already in previous reviews as well as a coffee percolator/cafettiere? I would definitely recommend this accommodation and Woolacombe in general. Beaches, shops and restaurants all close by and lots of lovely dog walks, hilly ones, so fair amount of physical ability required. Thanks for the memories made!

We had a great stay. Turning up in the dark and finding the right turning was a bit tricky but directions were very helpful
