From the owner

Surf is a detached spacious bungalow standing in its own grounds of half an acre with magnificent views over Braunton Burrows and Saunton Championship Golf Course to the sea and the Taw/Torridge estuary.

The lounge/sunroom, dining room and largest bedroom all lead out through french doors to the south facing sundeck, which runs across the entire width of the house - perfect for watching the sunset or enjoying dinner outside with family and friends. Apart from the third bedroom which faces the wood on the east side, there are extensive views from all main rooms over the 2500 acres of Braunton Burrows which forms the centre of the only English Unesco Biosphere Reserve.

At the bottom of the garden, the gate leads directly to Saunton Championship Golf Course, the South West Coast Path and a path through the sand dunes taking you on a short 10-15 minute walk to the 3 mile-long sandy beach, avoiding crowds and cars.

Saunton is a renowned safe surfing beach, with lifeguards at peak times. Surf board hire and tuition is available. Sandboarding, kite surfing and paddleboarding are also popular.

Surf has three bedrooms - two triple rooms (each with one king and one single bed) and a twin room. One of the triple rooms has an en-suite bathroom. There are two other main bathrooms, one with a shower and one with both a shower and bath. Surf has recently had all of its bathrooms modernised and refurbished.

We can also offer an extra twin room in the cabin in the grounds for an additional cost - please enquire for further details.

Further details

Cost of bed linen, electricity, central heating and wi-fi is included in the rental.

The Garden Hut which is adjacent to the house may also be hired. It has 2 beds and shares facilities with the house. Ideal for a large family gathering.

One bedroom has a king sized bed and a single and direct access to the sun deck. A second bedroom has a king-sized bed and a single with an en-suite lavatory and basin. The third bedroom has twin beds.
There are two bathrooms, one with bath, shower and WC, the other with bath and separate WC. A mural attributed to a Royal Academician fills one wall.There is a modern kitchen
There is a spacious dining room and a large sun room which both open onto the sun deck via patio doors. Telephone for incoming calls and chargecards.

Further details outdoors

The glass-surrounded sun deck has magnificent views across the golf course and sandhills to the sea and Hartland Point. A large table, sun loungers and deck chairs are provided and there is a built-in BBQ area and BBQ in the upper area of the garden.

Steps lead from the deck to a small, largely enclosed garden, and a path leads down through Surf's private grounds (of about half an acre) to a gate opening onto the sandhills and giving access to the beach, golf course and coast path.
Surfing equipment hire and tuition is available at the beach.
Bicycle hire is available at Braunton (2 miles) for the quiet lanes nearby which are lined with wildflower blossoms in the spring and summer. The Tarka Trail provides traffic-free cycling for more than 20 miles to Barnstaple, Instow and Torrington. The village chapel is a short walk away. From there two lovely footpaths take different routes over Saunton Down.
