3-bedroom holiday cottage in Woolacombe with sea views and within walking distance of the beach

Wow what a location! Set high on the cliff above the beach at Combesgate, Woolacombe is Sunnycliffe, a bright, open-plan 3-bedroom house with amazing sea views. You can easily walk into the popular seaside resort of Woolacombe and to the 3-miles of golden sands at Woolacombe Bay, alternatively the smaller beaches of Combesgate and Barricane are over the road.

Inside Sunnycliffe, there are 3 good sized bedrooms, all located on the first floor, these include a master with sea views, a king-size double bed and an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower, a wash-basin and a WC. The second double bedroom also has fantastic views over the sea and across Woolacombe Bay to Baggy Point. The final bedroom is a twin and has two full size single beds, as well as a small balcony where you can stand and look out over the countryside and sea beyond. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor, which is fitted with a bath with a good overhead shower, a wash basin and a WC.

Downstairs at the house there is a wonderful open plan living area, which is beautifully bright and spacious and benefits from stunning sea views thanks to large windows and doors opening out onto the terrace and balcony where the breath-taking views over the sea are best enjoyed. The lounge has two large leather sofas plus a tub-chair and bean bags for children. There is a flat-screen TV/DVD and WiFi. On entering the house there is a small lobby with space to store coats and boots.

The kitchen is situated to the left as you enter the main room and is well equipped with ample storage space and work surfaces. Appliances include an electric built-in oven, a four-ring hob, a dishwasher, a microwave and a four-slice toaster, plus a small dining table ideal for relaxed breakfast. Next to the kitchen is a useful utility room with a washing machine and ironing board, plus a handy downstairs loo.

To really make the most of the incredible sea views Sunnycliffe has a lovely south facing terrace with sun-loungers and a table and chairs, plus parasol. Also to the side of the house is a lovely large balcony with a corner sofa, two chairs and a table, there is a glass balustrade to provide uninterrupted sea views.

There are steps down from the house to the parking area, where there is space for one car. One additional small car can be parked in the garage (please ask the team for additional details).

Please note Sunnycliffe is not suitable for less mobile guests, and we are unfortunately unable to welcome pets.

Sunnycliffe is perfectly located on the edge of the very popular seaside village of Woolacombe, which is renowned for its stunning golden beach that stretches for almost three miles. The award-winning beach is patrolled by lifeguards from Easter through to the end of October and is loved by water-sport enthusiasts, as well as families visiting with children. There is plenty to see and do in Woolacombe with various different shops, pubs and restaurants, if you fancy it there is even England's oldest night club located in the village. For days when the beach is not suitable, many of the nearby holiday parks are open to day visitors who can take advantage of the onsite facilities, such as a paint a pot. Further along the coast, beyond Baggy Point, which can be reached by walking the South West Coast Path is the trendy surfing village of Croyde, which is home to more great pubs and surfing shops. If heading in the opposite direction Mortehoe is just up the road from Sunnycliffe and has some great place to enjoy a meal or get a take away, with the deli providing picnics for walks along the coast path or up to Morte Point where the views are spectacular. Other nearby places worth visiting include Braunton, Ilfacombe and Combe Martin. Alternatively, Exmoor is only a 30-minute drive from Woolacombe and is a wonderful place to enjoy a traditional cream tea whilst taking in the local scenery and wildlife, make sure to stop off at Lynton and Lynmouth to see the Valley of the Rocks and the famous water-powered Cliff Railway.

Lovely house with beautiful views of the beaches. Would be helpful if info supplied on nearby doctors, hospital etc. Also places of attraction as well as recommended eating houses as not all visitors are surfers

Short distance to a fabulous local beach. Views are excellent.
Sunnycliffe has fabulous views and it is in a great location. Money spent on the property could bring it up to a very good standard. Unfortunately there were a few things that caused unnecessary issues.

Fantastic views
Perfect location between Woolacombe and Mortehoe so we did lots of walking. Fantastic views in all directions with lots of outside space to sit and appreciate them. The kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are comfy. If I were being picky, the sofas and pillows could be more comfortable and the table needs a tablecloth but otherwise perfect holiday despite the weather.

Great location and kitchen, could maybe be more homely!
Have stayed twice and would again. Really well equipped kitchen, good accommodation including downstairs loo and a truly brilliant view. Could be more comfortable with fewer hard surfaces and furnishings, and some softer lighting options. Garage really useful for bikes, surfboards etc.

Great Apartment Overlooking the Sea
We had a great stay despite bad weather. The local beach is a few minutes walk and perfect for bodyboarding. The tap was situated at the entrance convenient for wetsuits. The side balcony gets morning sun so is nice for reading and relaxing. Kitchen is fine for preparing meals and dinners. Great location for the exploring the local area, which we knew already.

A few minor improvements and it would be excellent
Nice property in a fabulous position, however, there are a few things which let it down, the main thing being the sofas which are hard and uncomfortable. Fortunately during our stay the weather was really good so we didn't have to spend much time inside.

Great location but property in need of a bit of TLC
The location is very good with fabulous views but with a steep drive and 25 steps up to the property it could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. The side balcony has very comfortable seating and lovely views, the front area although it again has lovely views could do with a tidy up. Inside the property could be made more comfortable with better seating (the sofas and chair are rather hard and not the most relaxing to sit on after a long day) and some lamps rather than bright wall and ceiling lighting. The laminate flooring gives the room a cold feeling and perhaps a rug would help make it cosier. Similar priced properties seem to have better decor and more comfortable furnishings.

Superb Position
Really glad we booked Sunnycliffe House. The position above the Watersmeet Hotel is superb, in a quiet location even in the high season, but only a 10 minute walk into Woolacombe. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the road with reasonably regular services into Braunton, Ilfracome and Barnstaple. Very nicely appointed, clean and pretty spacious, although the third twin bedroom is a bit tight on space but adequate. There is a very nice patio area out front with the views when the weather is ok. If we had any gripe, it would be the wi-fi. Speed etc., is very slow and we ended up mainly using our mobile data instead. But given where you are and the fact you're there to explore and be out n about it wasn't too much of a problem, We had a very relaxing holiday here, would happily return and would highly recommend.

Memorable holiday home in a beautiful location
Lovely holiday home in a fantastic location. Great for beaches and walking. We booked advising we would have 2 cars. (Property sleeps 6 and we were a group of 5). The garage space was unfortunately too small to park our 2nd car which we and neighbours found out to everyone's frustration. So there were 4 cars on site with no-one using the garage spaces - challenging! Despite this touchy issue we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful location staying in this great property.

Fantastic location, beautiful views
The property was great and perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults, 15 and 12 year old). A 15 min walk to Woolacombe or Morthoe, and a smaller lovely beach perfect for body boarding is only 5 mins away. We did some lovely walks, including to Croyde and back, spent lots of time in the sea body boarding, the location was perfect as we prefer not being in the very centre of a town. The property was very clean and couldn’t fault much, agree with others that the sofa’s aren’t comfortable (they recline but not easily and are against a wall), to lie on one is very uncomfortable as they’re a bit lumpy, and lamps would make it nicer in the evenings. A bottle opener would also be very helpful. I think it would be a squish for more than 4 people, but for us it was a really great place and we’d definitely recommend.

Fantastic Views
Had a great stay at Sunnycliff house for a week early June. The house was clean and well equipped with ample room for my two children. The views from the two balconies where amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again. Although it didn't pose any problems for us I would advise anyone with mobility issues not to book this property. Thanks again to Harry and Amanda for responding to us quickly with the couple of queries we had the service was top notch 👌

The house was very comfortable, clean and warm. However the access is pretty steep and many people would struggle getting up the slope and steps. We appreciated the milk and other provisions left for us.

Lovely cozy break for Christmas
We had a lovely relaxing break for Christmas. The property was warm and welcoming and had plenty of space. The views were spectacular. The only down side was that it was a bit under equipped for cooking more than the basics and the boiler can be a bit loud. Over all a lovely stay.

Simply stunning.
A wonderful house in an amazing position both in terms of the view of the sea and coast and its close proximity to Woolacombe and the lovely Mortehoe - just up the road (very definitely "up" - its a steep hill on foot or bike!). Everything about the booking, ease of check in and the property were first class.
