Cottage vacation rentals in Saunton Sands

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

Perfect romantic break! Secluded, tranquil and calming environment. Little touches and meaningful gestures to make our stay so enjoyable. Maria couldn’t be anymore accommodating if she tried! Even kindly offered to put our online food shop put away. Beautiful welcome hamper too and a bottle of wine to celebrate our stay. Made our stay simply magical & we will most definitely be back again ❤️

The place was really nice and absolutely spotless when we got there. Nigel and Perry were both very nice and helpful and responded very quickly to messages. The only things is one of the windows didn’t have a blind which made it very bright in the mornings and struggled to sleep in. Also the sat nav brought us in a different direction from the directions on the listing which was a little confusing but Nigel was stood outside waiting for us when we arrived so wasn’t really a problem. Just something to mention. Overall it was a really nice stay and would recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. Spotlessly clean and bright. Very well equipped modern kitchen. Comfortable lounge and bedrooms and a sunny conservatory for dining in. Our host Helen welcomed us and a gorgeous cream tea awaited us, together with homemade scones, jam and bread. Milk, butter and eggs also provided. Such attention to detail. The garden is pretty and dog safe. Helen even provided dog bowls and towels and a treat! We would highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful property, everything you need. Lovely view and garden. Easy walk into town. We would definately visit again.

Such a beautiful little place, Sally provided everything you could need. She was so responsive and gave recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Made our stay so easy and a seamless check in/out. Thanks Sally!!

Great place to stay. Lovely cottage, beautiful surroundings, not too far from villages & towns. Isobel was perfect host. Would highly recommend

We were really impressed with Owl Barn Cottage. Beautifully decorated with a modern feel. We went with our two children and the books and games inside the cottage were a lovely addition to have at hand. The games barn and go carts in the courtyard was fun for them too. The garden area to the cottage was lovely with peaceful views of the surrounding fields. We loved the animals that were on site and Alex kindly let us meet and feed them too. The pizza night that Alex also hosts where you can create your own pizza and cook in the outdoor pizza oven was also great. We would highly recommend staying here as the location was only a short distance to explore some lovely beaches in the Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde area.

it's our second stay at Fish Cottage, the kids love it, we love it. As we are originally from devon we can access all our favourite places on day trips due to the location so really works for us Cottage is spacious, interesting and really well equipped and comfortable for our family. will continue each year if we can !! thankyou

We had a brilliant stay at Hideaway Cottage. It was well equipped, comfortable for 4 adults and the views (and sunsets) from the garden were absolutely stunning. Appledore itself is a perfect location to explore North Devon. Thanks also for the cream tea!

Marc and Amy were fantastic hosts! They provided everything promised. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward their guests is apparent. Marc gave us a thorough tour and history of the property which was fascinating - especially coming from the states where buildings aren’t nearly that old! Our only honest regret is that we didn’t book a few more days so we could spend more time on the property to explore and appreciate the hard work they’ve put into its upkeep and restoration.

We loved our stay at Joanne's place! It was super well-located - 5 minutes to the beach on one side and 5 minutes to all the local shops/restaurants on the other. Joanne baked us the most delicious cake upon our arrival, and was super friendly and helpful in telling us all the must-see spots. She sent us a list of recommendations and instructions well in advance, which was also really helpful. Joanne also has the most beautiful, friendly cat who we loved meeting!

Excellent accommodation. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings. High standard of cleanliness and clutter-free, yet all facilities we needed. Would 100% stay here again. 20 mins walk to beach. Really great local pub/food.

Fantastic location to explore from. Just a very short drive from Woolacombe but lovely and peaceful. Well equipped cottage and maintained to a high standard. The dog had a great time bounding through the hills and the kids didn’t argue too much about who got the top bunk!

I came to the Christian Music Festival at St. Mary’s so it was very handy to walk from there to the church. It was just right for one person. I brought my dog and the courtyard was very handy to take him out into especially at night. Lights came on as we went out in the dark which was great. The cottage was very comfortable and clean.

A lovely little bolthole in North Devon. Far enough off the beaten track to feel remote, close enough to the bigger towns for entertainment as required. We ate in Georgeham which is a 20 minute walk for some great food in The Kings Arms. The dawn chorus in the morning was a delight to wake up too. Prior to arrival, clear instructions were provided by the host to ensure we found the house with no fuss. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Mill Cottage. The house was immaculate, cosy, full of character — and the mill wheel still works! There were lots of thoughtful touches, including tea, coffee, biscuits, and fresh milk in the fridge, which were especially welcome after a long journey. The location was great: just a 5-minute walk into the village, which had a good range of restaurants and takeaways. A supermarket was only a 5-minute drive away, and the beach just 10 minutes by car. Carole really was a super host. She went above and beyond to help with additional requirements due to my partner’s disability. Without hosts like Carole, we simply wouldn’t be able to go on holiday — we’re incredibly grateful. Thank you! We’d thoroughly recommend Mill Cottage, and it would be our first choice if we visit North Devon again.

Lovely cottage perfect for families. Kids and adults felt right at home! Excellent location, close to the beach and right in the centre of the pubs and shops. Host was responsive and very accommodating!

We had a fantastic week at the cottage. We know Appledore well and this was by far and away the best accommodation we have stayed in. We were reluctant to give this review five stars as it could mean it will be fully booked from now on and we won't be able to return. However, we could not recommend this more highly. The size of the lounge and bedroom with high ceilings and loads of light was special. Thank you again.

We had a lovely stay a Rock Cottage. It's beautifully furnished, comfortable and had everything we needed to relax after a day walking or beach dwelling! Morthoe is a very pretty little village that has everything you need and Woolacombe is not far at all, a very scenic walk away. We enjoyed Barricane beach with its cafe and sheltered waters for a swim. We hope to return. Thank you Anya 😊

Lovely cottage in lovely surroundings. Lots of thoughtful touches and a homely feel. The garden was great, our dog really enjoyed playing and running around and great that it was fenced in. Really close to the beach and lovely town of Braunton. If we didn't have my mum and the dog with us we would definitely have walked there (there's no pavement for a section of the way and didn't want to risk it with the dog). With half an hour of lots of other places to visit, we went to Barnstaple and walked part of the tarka trail and into Lynton and Lynmouth for a day trip.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mariners Cottage. It’s very cozy, and the decoration is beautifully chosen. The location is perfect — just steps from the seafront, and the town is so peaceful. Charlotte was a perfect host, always available to answer any questions. And we were welcomed with some lovely treats! A big thank you — it was perfect!
