An exquisite apartment overlooking Saunton Sands for that spectacular panorama where you can hear the soothing waves cascading against the coast, and what's even better is that the building has its own landscaped gardens with direct access down to the beach. This opulent and minimalist apartment caters to all of your desires, from temperature-controlled wine fridges for that evening glass of wine on the balcony to ultra-soft mattresses with a bathtub in the main bedroom to conclude the evening in comfort. The setting itself is memorable, with a plethora of nearby activities. Go with the flow of the waves and learn to surf down at Saunton Sands, you may even be able to arrange a session with the champion herself, Sarah Whiteley, and her crew at Walking on the Waves. Gallop across Croyde beach with horses from Royston Stables, or you may wish to plan a quieter pony trip for the kids. Visit Lundy Island by boat to see seals, ponies, prison caves, sea cliffs, and (from March to August) puffins. The list goes on and on, so go down to Saunton Sands and see yourself.
