Town: Located on the border between Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the picturesque settlement of Combe Martin. This little seaside resort, with a wide variety of amenities, is a great attraction for locals and visitors, and is home to a very popular beach. Lynton and Lynmouth, Woolacombe, Croyde Bay, Saunton Sands, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple are all within easy reach. There are also numerous National Trust properties and gardens close by, offering unique insights into local history. Woolacombe beach is close by and is an excellent place for surfing, whilst the South West coastal path passes within a mile for those who love rambling.

An amazing cottage but shop around sites to rent it

This is a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. The owners are so welcoming and we could not want for more for our holiday destination. We rented this through Vrbo who provided an efficient service. However, we would recommend looking up the cost of this particular cottage on a number of providers' sites as the cost seems to vary considerably between different operators.

Perfect holiday cottage

We had a fantastic week staying here. Absolutely perfect. The cottage was absolutely delightful. Very nicely fitted out to a high standard. All the furniture and fittings are in great condition. Comfortably spacious for a toddler to play indoors and outdoors (in the private garden). The owners farmhouse is nearby but the cottage still felt private with a garden looking out over the sheep fields below. The setting is delightful - removed from the bustle of the touristy spots but only a short drive from a variety of sights - sandy beaches, rocky beaches, towns, villages, easy family friendly walks great pubs... Couldn't have asked for more.
