The open-plan lounge diner is an impressive room with high ceilings and many characterful touches. The inviting seating area is at one end with a feature fireplace and wall-mounted TV perfect for a relaxing evening in. At the other end of the room, the large dining table is the ideal spot for sharing mealtimes together or enjoying a sociable evening with a board game and a glass of wine. The stylish décor continues throughout with the kitchen being a well-equipped space with an eye-level oven, breakfast bar and wine chiller cabinet. The bathroom, separate cloakroom and utility room is also located on this floor for convenience after a day at the beach.

This apartment lies just paces from local stores to ease your self-catered stay and has a good selection of local pubs and restaurants such as Brook Kitchen and Marco’s Italian Restaurant for the nights you don’t fancy cooking. You could also consider going to the new Rockfish restaurant that just opened on the beach. A picturesque seaside town, Budleigh Salterton has a 2.5-mile pebble beach with colourful beach huts overlooked by stunning red sandstone cliffs and safe, clean bathing water. Budleigh remains one of Devon’s most unspoilt and charming towns, containing many interesting shops and other attractions. The nearby River Otter Nature Reserve covers an area of 33 hectares and along with the cliffs of Otterton Point is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest with fine salt marsh habitat and one of the most popular footpaths in East Devon, running alongside an old 18th-century embankment that cuts through the floodplain. Other popular days out include Exmouth, a lively town on the mouth of the River Exe, boasting two miles of golden sandy beach and a popular spot for water sports or enjoying a leisurely boat trip or fishing trip. Bicton Park is an award-winning World Heritage Botanical Gardens and another popular choice, open to the public all year in the heart of wonderful Devon. Stone’s Throw is a lovely, seaside holiday home with something for everyone at any time of year.

The picturesque town of Budleigh Salterton is nestled in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the East Devon

Jurassic Coast at the mouth of the River Otter. From here you can enjoy a leisurely walk along the coast or stop off in one of the local cafes or pubs. The River Otter forms an area of grazing marsh and reed bed, which is of great significance for migratory birds and is therefore an excellent place for birdwatching. The coastal town is renowned for its preserved natural beauty, including a two-mile pebble beach for those wishing to take a dip in the crystal-clear water. The high street boasts an array of charming cafes, independent shops, pubs and a museum, or sit on a bench on the promenade to soak in the scenery. Cyclists will be delighted with the country lanes and National Cycle Routes, offering tranquility away from the busier roads in the town. There is also easy access into both Paddington and Waterloo from the nearby Exmouth railway station, making Budleigh Salterton an ideal base for everyone.
