About Us

Over 20 years of helping people explore and enjoy North Devon

Wendy and Penny of Woolacombe Cottages have run the family business for over 20 years, helping people explore and enjoy North Devon.

Woolacombe Cottages HQ is based on their family farm, near Woolacombe, where Penny, at every opportunity, sets off to ride horseback along one of the many bridle paths and byways that crisscross North Devon, or gallop along one of the long sandy beaches.

Draw on Penny and Wendy’s love and knowledge of the area and let them help you plan and create your perfect holiday in North Devon – they are always on the end of the phone, so give us a call and let’s get started!

Woolacombe Cottages are proud to offer an extensive portfolio of quality self-catering properties scattered around North Devon’s Award-Winning Golden Coastline, including Woolacombe, Croyde, Georgeham, Putsborough, Saunton, Braunton, Ilfracombe, Lee Bay and West Down. Our properties range from romantic one-bedroom rural retreats to stylish six-bedroom seafront villas and clusters of cottages to accommodate group bookings.

Ilfracombe Harbour in North Devon

Unforgettable North Devon

North Devon is not just about the beauty of the more popular beaches and resorts. Woolacombe Cottages have accommodation at lesser-known gems like Lee Bay, with its ancient woodland and quiet, rocky beach, perfect for launching a kayak, and Westdown, deep in the Devon countryside with farms and many bridleways and footpaths crisscrossing the fields and rolling hills. Not forgetting the picturesque villages of Braunton and Georgeham. Braunton is host to numerous quality bistros, restaurants, cafes and pubs and many surf shops – great accommodation in great locations throughout North Devon.

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday and to get away from any hustle and bustle, relax in a self-catering cottage in Saunton and experience all that the area has to offer. Saunton golf course, a links golf course, is set amongst Braunton Burrows, designated as a bio-reserve, and only 10-20 minutes walk from the magnificent Saunton beach. Crow Point, which borders the estuary, is a haven in itself, you can sometimes spend hours exploring this area and see only a handful of people – immerse yourself in the ambiance of unforgettable North Devon.

Woolacombe Cottages is open all year round. It’s not just about summer! If you can, experience North Devon out of season. Spring in North Devon is buzzing with new life and expectancy, watch the lambs bouncing around the green fields. After a blustery walk on the beach in autumn or winter, relax in front of a fire in a cozy cottage, or next to an open fire in one of the many charming country pubs.

These are just some examples of what you can see and do in North Devon. With our experience and passion for North Devon, contact us now and we will help create your perfect holiday.
