Luxury coastal cottages in Devon

We do like to be beside the seaside, don't we? Sweeping sands and long coastal rambles, paddling in the shallows and watching as the children jump over foaming waves… Family days by the seaside are as iconic as the soft-whip ice cream with which they go hand-in-hand. With freckled faces, salt-kissed skin, and tousled hair, retreat to the serenity of one of our luxury coastal cottages in Devon, from Ilfracombe to Newton Ferrers, where the only thing left on the agenda is to sit back and relax with a chilled glass of wine from the fridge, as children dream of seashells and the sun melts into the ocean.

Homes by the sea can be enjoyed in all weathers, as autumn and winter bring a different kind of romance. Blazing summer days invite skinny dips and afternoons of sunbathing under a vintage parasol, whilst cooler months bring pumping surf and temperatures just right for heart-racing dog walks across soaring sand dunes. Wrap up and storm-watch from the tops of Noss Mayo’s rugged cliffs, or sip giant hot chocolates under blankets as those wild Atlantic winds whip sea foam against the windows of your luxury coastal cottage, the crackling fire or gurgling hot tub as the only soundtrack.
