With sea views from most windows and a private gate leading straight to the beach, this gorgeous coastal apartment offers idyllic accommodation for water and nature lovers seeking a relaxed Devonshire holiday. It's in Croyde, a bustling seaside village with a friendly community of local surfers and a pub, shops and cafés all within one mile of the property.

With room for up to five people over three bedrooms, this beautifully decorated holiday home is ideal for a break among family or friends.

There's a well-equipped contemporary kitchen for preparing meals and sandwiches to take out with you for the day, and three beautifully decorated bedrooms with tasteful soft furnishings and artwork on the walls. You'll also have access to a shared lawn with benches, where you may like to cook up a BBQ in the evenings. The wonderful beach and shore is a natural playground for water sports including surfing, paddleboarding and coasteering – why not hire a wetsuit and a local guide and get involved?
