Azure Bay

Azure Bay suits families and groups wanting a seaside base without having to leave the building to reach the beach. The three bedrooms sleep six: a master with kingsize bed and ensuite, a second kingsize, and a third with zip-and-link beds that convert between single and double. Two bathrooms serve the property, which is all on one level. A spacious open-plan living area has a kitchen with electric cooking, dishwasher and everything needed to self-cater, a dining space for six, and a sitting area with television. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are provided; heating and electricity are included in the cost.

What sets this place apart is the private hot tub in the front garden, directly overlooking Woolacombe seafront. The patio has garden furniture and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after time on the beach. There is private parking for two cars and an electric car charging point. The property is on the Esplanade itself, steps from three miles of sand and close to the Barricane Beach Cafe. Smoking is not permitted inside.
