Villa vacation rentals in Saunton Sands

Nice spot for what we wanted.

Had a great time lovely place would stay again

Perfect space, great activities for kids if you’re staying in the park itself. Friendly staff and easy check in/out procedures. Not as close to the beach as we anticipated (about an hours walk) but a short drive there.

Great place, good communication, easy to find, and an effortless check-in. will use again.

Rose Cottage is a lovely, old fashioned, quirky cottage - with lots of interesting objet d’art to discover throughout your time there. I loved how it is tucked away from the street, making it a really private space. Danielle was really informative about the surrounding areas and was on hand for queries. The living space downstairs is really relaxing (two of us learnt how to play chess in the lounge!) The outdoor space is really valuable as, I should imagine, in Appledore having a big garden is a real treat. The location is amazing - a minute’s stroll down to the quay - with the wonderful local shop, John’s, a stone’s throw away. We had fantastic weather, having lots of hot beach days in Croyde and Saunton Sands, but also loved catching the 5 minute ferry across to Instow village and beach. The attics bedrooms were a little warm (it was a very hot week), but Danielle kindly provided us with a fan which certainly helped on the top floor. Appledore is a magical place with beautiful cottages, great restaurants and Sylvester’s fish and chips are scrumptious - the first time I think I have ever managed to eat a whole battered cod! Thanks Danielle for a truly wonderful week’s holiday with the family.

A madcap feast for the eyes! If you want a standard Airbnb filled full of IKEA then this place isn’t for you. If you want an authentic (and original) experience in a great location - then book it. Open fires, art, antiques, the sea all make up the DNA of Appledore and typify Myrtle Cottage as a microcosm of North Devon’s prettiest fishing village (that you don’t have to pay to visit!)

We had a lovely stay here. The house is amazing. We went away with 5 adults and 3 children. The house was split perfectly, downstairs for the children and a ‘quieter’ space upstairs. Both spaces had massive TVs and were well used. The views from the hot tub were spectacular. This was definitely a highlight of the stay. Our only negative was that we didn’t book long enough! Could have easily stayed a few more days!

Great accommodation for large family. Walkable distance to Ilfracombe centre. Shops, walks, beach, activities in town centre. Ilfracombe is a picturesque place, we went to Combe Martin dinosaur and wildlife park and Watermouth Castle while visiting and had a great time. Paula was very friendly and accommodating and the place quirky, fun and clean.

This was our second day and like the first one was outstanding from start to finish. Everything that you would want in terms of creature comforts was in the house and there was more than enough room for grown-ups children and pets.

We had a really lovely stay as an extended family. Great location and everything you need is in the house. Would definitely go back.

The house was everything expected and more. The amenities were over and above and made it so easy to feel at home and enjoy our holiday. We were a group of friends including multiple couples and there was lots of social space to be together as a group but still be independent with big spacious well thought out rooms. The house would suits friends or family looking to stay together,is suitable for kids and the fact it was dog friendly was a bonus for our 4 legged friend. The location was perfect, a short walk to the harbour and the sea view was beautiful. I had the master bedroom on the first floor and waking up to those views was amazing. Oliver was a fantastic host, quick to respond or confirm anything I needed. I would 100% recommend this home and everyone that joined us said the same. The home made our 40th birthday celebrations even more special. Thank you Oliver
