The superb location not only gives quick and easy access to the beaches but also to the village centre shops, restaurants and amenities.

Woolacombe sits on the rugged North Devon Coast and amidst the surrounding National Trust land and is an extremely popular and well known village throughout the UK primarily due to its stunning beach which has previously held the accolade as the No. 1 beach in the country by Trip Advisor. Many, many visitors flock to the area throughout the year but especially through the busy summer months. The village has an array of facilities which include a variety of small independent shops, a selection of cafes, bars and restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes, a health centre, chemist and a Primary School which has an 'outstanding' rating from Ofsted. As well as main stretch of golden sand, there is also Barricane and Combesgate beaches which have rock pools to explore and the former having a beachside kiosk selling delicious Sri Lankan curries through the summer season. The surrounding National Trust Land provides miles and miles of walking enjoying some of the finest coastal scenery on offer. There are a variety of leisure facilities and excellent nearby golf courses with the best known being the two links courses at Saunton, one of which is at championship standard.
