Amazing 3 bed cottage on Esplanade close to village and opposite main beach with fab views and garde

Just along Woolacombe's Esplanade sits Cliff Cottage in its own private gardens, set back and elevated from the road. Literally steps from the beach, it commands outstanding sea views right across Woolacombe beach to Putsborough, Baggy Point and beyond.

This 1950's chalet-style house has been recently refurbished to a high specification and sleeps up to 8 plus a baby in 3 spacious bedrooms and will accommodate 2 families very comfortably.

The large front garden is enclosed with a low wooden fence and gate. There is plenty of car parking for 2/3 cars and the garage offers ample space to store surf boards, body boards, bikes and general beach kit. At the rear of the house are two heated showers to enjoy after a dip in the sea. Beach-life facilities at their very best!

On the main front patio terrace there is a California-style outdoor furniture suite where guests can make the most of the amazing views. On the other front patio area, outside the kitchen diner, are a table and chairs for al fresco meals. To the rear of the property there is a decking area providing a more secluded outside space, yet still enjoying stunning views of the sea.

As you step inside the house, to the left of the front door is the kitchen diner and separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The refurbished kitchen has white retro-style units offering plenty of storage, and new appliances including dishwasher, American style fridge/freezer and a range cooker with 2 ovens and 5 burners, including a wok burner.

To the right of the stairs, the door leads to 2 lounge areas, separated by large double doors providing a flexible living space. The first room has two anthracite grey fabric sofas and a large 55" wall mounted Smart 4K Ultra HD TV. The Smart TV has internet access so Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, etc. can be accessed by guests with their own accounts. There are also HDMI ports available for anyone who wants to connect to their own devices e.g.laptop, etc. although a DVD player is not provided. Through double doors is a larger lounge with original stone clad fireplace and patio doors leading to the seated terrace front patio. The property features a DEFRA approved Stovax 5kW energy efficient wood burning stove so you can cosy-up by the fireplace in the cooler evenings. There is a large L-shape corner sofa and additional footstool. Both rooms share the most incredible views over beach and sea: simply stunning!!

At the back of the downstairs area is the newly fitted shower room with double shower, sink basin and WC. Travertine tiles finish a sleek contemporary look.

Next to this is a double room with two single zip n' link beds that can be made into a super-king (Please state your preference when booking).

Upstairs are the additional two bedrooms. The luxurious master bedroom has a super-king size bed and enjoys amazing sea views.

The other bedroom, ideal for children and teenagers, has a sturdy white wooden 3ft bunk bed and a white wooden single bed with an additional pull-out trundle bed underneath that can be conveniently positioned in an L-shape to maximise the floor space.

At the top of the stairs there is also a bathroom with bath, sink basin and WC. The original grey tiles and suite have a 70's feel and add to the charm of this delightful property.

With new flooring throughout, white washed walls and beach influenced art-work, Cliff Cottage looks fresh, clean and modern yet retains the character of the older house that has always stood proudly on The Esplanade.

Holiday Home Hunter are delighted to be able to offer Cliff Cottage for the first time ever to the holiday lettings market. This is proving to be a truly popular family holiday home. Book now to avoid disappointment!

Excellent property for a family beach holiday
Excellent property for a family beach holiday, fantastic position on the Esplanade (although those overnight camper vans should be moved on) and unrivalled sea views over Woolacombe Sands.

Cliff cottage
A very enjoyable stay at Cliff Cottage. The location of the property and its proximity to the beach and village were perfect. The cottage is simply furnished and very spacious. The lovely wraparound garden and outside space was a real bonus and perfect for our needs with an elderly relative and two dogs.

Autumn holiday
Very nice house, but really a shame that the upstairs toilet didnt flush. Kitchen was a little bit worn down, pots and pans not really tidy, new baking trays are needed. Besides everything was fine.

Another lovely family holiday
Once again a very enjoyable holiday in this “cottage” in a super location. Ideal for the younger family members - beach,sea and walking and us “oldies” sitting on the terrace watching the world go by! The property is not luxurious but has all that you need for a very relaxing time and even the changeable weather didn’t detract from this. Have already booked again !

April in Woolacombe
This is a regular stay for us as a family. Wonderful location with fantastic walks from the door for us and the dogs. Handy for the shops and beach. The children loved the surfing. Ideal for the dogs with enclosed garden. We hardly used the car. Lots of lovely local cafes. Holiday Home Hunter are fantastic. Very helpful. Best Holiday Property agents we have dealt with.

Our second “sea view fix” this year !
Keep coming back - booked again for next year. Not really suitable for the less mobile but once in the cottage it’s fine so my husband struggles up the steps just to enjoy the peace and views. The housekeepers do a really good job and have been so helpful. Looking forward to next July (if not before ?!)

A gem in Woolacombes crown
Cliff Cottage on the Esplanade is the perfect location for a family holiday. There is easy access to the beach and local amenities that cater for your every need. The house is spacious, clean and very comfortable with ample parking and amazing views. The outdoor showers were a real bonus for washing off the sand before going into the house. The welcome pack is a very nice gesture from the owners 'Thank you!' I highly recommend Cliff Cottage.

Great location and great car parking spaces.
The housekeepers were really very helpful. A new mattress was required for the travel cot as the one supplied was not long enough to fit the cot which they sorted and was delivered to Cliff Cottage. The one thing that was missing was summer duvets, the ones that are on the beds upstairs were very high tog. and were very hot. The shower floor was slippery, I had read this in a review so I took a bath mat with me.

Wonderful Week in June
This is only our second visit to Cliff Cottage but we have already booked for next year. That is really all you need to know. A fantastic holiday home in an amazing location for a family plus pets. We brought our dogs. The house is roomy and comfortable. The garden is also beautiful at this time of year. The location is wonderful for access to everything Woolacombe and Mortehoe has to offer and the views from the patio are wonderful. We did not use the car once but spent our time walking and exploring and visiting all the lovely cafes. We would thoroughly recommend this Cottage if you have a dog. Loads of different walks from the door. A perfect week to relax and unwind and forget all the troubles at home!

Cliff Cottage for a family holiday
Very first stay at Cliff Cottage. We were delighted with the accommodation. We were 3 generations and it met all of our needs. The cottage is very spacious giving plenty of room for socialising and quiet times with plenty of seating. The oldies in our group were happy to sit and take in the views from the outside furniture on the terrace. The garden which wraps around the whole of the property was a real bonus. There was total privacy and you are not overlooked by any of the adjoining properties. We used the outside showers after returning from the beach, which were again an added bonus. The whole property was very clean and tidy, the bedding and towels were of a high quality and everything you needed for a self catering holiday was provided for. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and a nice touch. We are planning to return next year.

Perfect holiday house with amazing sea views
5 stars from us for this perfect house. Loads of space, comfy beds, masses of outside space to sit and watch the beach and sea. The most amazing views (from indoors too), and fun to watch the surfers when we’d finished in the sea - which is just steps away. The village is also very close. Outdoor heated showers! Getting clean after the sea could not be easier. A good tumble dryer as well as washing machine. Loads of lovely touches such as old photos and local artwork. Although so close to the beach and village, it feels lovely and private due to trees/shrubs screening it from neighbouring houses and being set back. Crucially parking for at least two large cars and probably more if you have a visitor. The garden was lovely with flowers and birds. Holiday home hunter were very helpful as usual, especially as I had changed my mind a couple of times about dates etc. We really didn’t want to leave.

Ideal for a family beach holiday
Unbeatable position for superb sea views over Woolacombe sands and for quick and easy access to the beach and village amenities. House clean and well equipped, good laundry facilities and parking, but things beginning to look a bit worn and shabby and the description of the property should now be taken with a pinch of salt. The two double rooms have nice large beds but the children’s bedroom would be cramped for four children. Eight people dining around the table in the kitchen would be crowded and rather uncomfortable with two benches and four folding chairs - hope for warm weather as it’s lovely eating outside. It would also make it much easier for guests if the checkin (5pm) was an hour earlier and the checkout (9am) an hour later. However another great week, thank you.

Perfect location
This is a fantastic location just across the road from the beach. Stunning views, especially sitting out on the terrace. We've been returning here every year for over five years. It works well for grandparents as there is a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Two large sitting rooms mean plenty of space for a big family. It is always spotless. A few things could be updated or replaced, but are livable with. Overall, a really excellent location, with a garden and parking. Holiday Home Hunter who manage the bookings are friendly, professional and go out of their way to be helpful - thank you.

Family Holiday
Perfect location and lovely house. Space enough in the living rooms for 6 adults, 9 month old granddaughter and a 3 year old fur baby who loved the bunnies in the garden. The parking area has plenty of space and easily accommodated our 3 cars. Already book again for next year.

Just what we hoped for.
The property is a little tired, especially the kitchen but the view along Woolacombe sands makes up for the properties short comings. The master bedroom is very comfortable with a great view and we had a wonderful week.

Great location with house overlooking Woolacombe beach
Another great stay at Cliff Cottage during January. House is ideally located very close to the beach, shops, restaurants & pubs. Comfortable house with large garden & lovely sea views across the bay. Would highly recommend for a relaxing holiday retreat.

A really superb location
Found and holidayed in Cliff Cottage over 50 years ago then by chance saw it again (extended and refurbished!) - brought back memories of the fabulous time here with the children , so 3 years ago brought them again with their children - upstairs for the younger ones and downstairs for the “old folk”with shower etc and no need to use the stairs. This has been our third visit with them and already booked for next year.

Fantastic location and views of Woolacombe bay
Cliff Cottage is located right in the front line of buildings, elevated above the level of the road, on 'The Esplanade' with exceptional views (especially from the front upstairs bedroom) across Woolacombe bay and its magnificent beach. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to sit indoors or outdoors, watching and listening to the sea. The house is also within easy walking distance of the shops, cafés and restaurants. There are two outdoor elevated areas of table and seating at the front of Cliff Cottage from which to sit in the open air to enjoy a stunningly beautiful panoramic view. In addition to a very well equipped kitchen/breakfast room and two lounge areas to relax in downstairs, there are also a utility room, a downstairs bedroom and a shower room with basin and wc. Upstairs there are another 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with basin and wc. An additional benefit at Cliff Cottage is the large driveway which prevents the need to find parking along The Esplanade.
