Luxury self-catering accommodation in Braunton
Where crescents of surf meet sandy coasts and trails thread across green coastal paths, this slice of North Devon is a holidaymaker's dream. Pack a picnic and good walking shoes then set off to explore.
The busy North Devon village of Braunton is perfectly placed between the market town of Barnstaple and the twinkly blue curve of coast that flaunts Croyde and Woolacombe, making it the ideal area for exploration and a luxury self-catering home to return to. Families flock here in summer to laze away days by the sea, while hikers march the moorland year-round, pitching across popular routes such as the Tarka Trail. This 180-mile stretch of coast and country track is perfect for walking or cycling and leads through most of the major local towns.
Braunton’s own bustling town has a theatre, market and museum, but there are lots of nearby attractions tempting explorations further afield. Children will enjoy a trip to Exmoor Zoo in Barnstaple, with its resident black leopards, marmosets, cheetahs and howler monkeys. For those seeking rather more unusual attractions, Chambercombe Manor is an intriguing property dating back to the Doomsday Book. The Tunnel Beaches are also steeped in history and providing a network of hand-carved tunnels leading to a tidal Victorian bathing pool.
