Wonderful Westward Ho Getaway

Facing the seafront, this beautiful ground floor apartment in the charming Victorian resort of Westward Ho! is a perfect little getaway. A stone's throw from the beach and Northam Burrows Country Park, it has wonderful views from its private terrace across to the wildlife haven of Lundy Island. Over Bideford Bay lies Braunton Burrows (15.5 miles by road), one of the largest sand dune systems in Britain. Westward Ho!'s lovely shops and eateries are within a mile, as are the Royal North Devon Golf Club and Surf School, and access to the unravelling wonders of the South West Coast Path.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is light and airy, set against floor to ceiling windows and superb ocean views. The ambience within is of nautical cool and boardwalk beach boutique, with all the amenities you need within easy reach. The double bedroom is welcoming and cosy, with high windows and seaside charm. Outside, the terrace has bistro-style table and chairs, perfect for a bright morning breakfast or an ocean-side soiree.

Take a trip to Clovelly (12 miles) to see how we used to live, and walk the rugged coastline around Hartland Quay (17 miles). The stretch from Bucks Mills (9 miles) to Clovelly is breathtaking. Learn to surf on Croyde (20 miles) or Woolacombe's golden sands (22 miles). Watch the big cats at Exmoor Zoo (21 miles), or try Xtreme Coasteering at Shirwell (15 miles). Browse the independent shops, pubs and galleries in Barnstaple (11 miles) and catch an evening show at Queen's Theatre. Closer to home, the excellent Maritime museum and quaint estuarine charm await at Appledore (3 miles). Let this lovely strip of North Devon's Heritage Coast feed your passion for life.
