Guests staying at Braunton Farmhouse have the luxury of choosing from various beautiful beaches for their seaside excursions, all within a convenient 15-minute drive or less. The stunning North Devon coastline boasts glorious golden sands and pristine waves, making it a haven for beach lovers.

Saunton Sands, with its three-mile stretch of golden sands and accessibility via bike directly from the cottage, is a popular choice for families, dog walkers, and surf enthusiasts.
