Beachfront holiday rental in Hele Bay

What a special place this is. Me and my sister wanted to stay near the harbour as we know the area well, and Julie's apartment was perfect. It has the most wonderful views of the sea from the lounge and kitchen, plus the spectacular coastline from the balcony. As an added bonus the bedrooms look out over the town and harbour. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in and the apartment has everything you need - and some! It's warm, cosy and very clean; also so peaceful and relaxing to be able to sit and just watch the sea. Even though it wasn't warm enough for us to sit out on the balcony, we could still enjoy the amazing views. On the first night we enjoyed our fish and chips from nearby Maddy's and had a lovely meal in Santiago's the second night, which is also close by. It was very difficult to tear ourselves away after our long weekend!

Absolutely perfect place for a relaxing peaceful break. Cannot recommend it enough! Lisa really goes above and beyond. The views of the beach from the hot tub are gorgeous and the location is ideal. We will definitely be returning!!

Highly recommend this cottage. We went as a family to celebrate my mums 80th birthday and it was perfect. Quiet, with stunning surrounding views and a beautiful sunset view. Fab memories that will last forever. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Glade, which felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Lovely welcome pack for us and the dog. Combe Martin is a great place to stay, good amenities and beautiful scenery. We hope to return and will be recommending to family and friends 😀

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!

A fabulous few days away in Park Cottage with friends. Really lovely cottage with very comfortable beds (and feather pillows which was a bonus for us) Perfect location and massively recommend Miss Fea’s for dinner. Would love to come back again. Matt, Linda, Jill and Andrew

We loved our stay and will definitely be back! The house is very well equipped with everything you can need a just a few mins walk from the beach.

Lovely home, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Great for 4 legged friends with a secure garden and suitable furnishings etc. The home is in a lovely area , with great views over the estuary from the rear of the house, particularly the main bedroom. Bideford itself is very pretty and a good base for exploring North Devon as it is close to the A39 / Atlantic Highway.

We had a lovely stay at Dreckly. Close to the local beach in Widemouth and those at Bude. Facilities were good on site, we enjoyed the indoor pool during the rainy parts our stay. Views from the holiday village were gorgeous. Thank you!

We loved our stay in Combe Martin, the caravan is perfectly located a short walk from the beautiful beaches, and there are wonderful walks on the South West Coast path and so many places interesting places to visit only a short drive away. The accommodation itself was really lovely and spotlessly clean. Please note there is no WiFi, and we feel it should not be listed in the amenities, as this is misleading. We finally purchased a connection to the John Fowler WiFi which was very poor and kept dropping off. This was frustrating and the only disappointment in an otherwise really fantastic stay.

Lovely stay. The instructions on how to get to the flat and check in etc were spot on. The walk to the beach is minutes, which is fantastic. Even though we stayed in Feb half term we were lucky with some breaks in the weather, so were able to enjoy the beach. My kids enjoyed running into the freezing sea! The flat is very clean and comfy. It’s a great base for everything that the local area has to offer. We used the swimming pool twice. It was easy to book this - I did so in advance and time slots were pretty full. We enjoyed taking a trip over Croyde and having lunch and a beer at The Thatch which is a north Devon must! Thank you for having us.

This is our second stay at Atlantic View - and just as wonderful. Beautifully situated, with stunning views. A home from home - the space is very clean and well equipped. The holiday village is quiet, but with new facilities open which are lovely. Heated pool, bar and restuarant within walking distance.

Loved the Caravan clear instructions as to how to access and gain entry which was useful as we did not realise just how big the site was! It was very clean warm and comfortable also very well equipped. I have to say I did not read the instructions carefully enough and brought no bedding with us. This was resolved via the Reception on the site and for a small deposit we were provided with bedding which was delivered! Deposit returned on return of the bedding so no crisis. Lots of lovely walking from the caravan perfect for the dog. We were visiting friends in the area and would definitely consider coming again.

Great chalet and all we needed. Good access to Widemouth Bay, Bude and beyond! Bonus was being able to use the pool onsite!

Great house in lovely location. Layout suited us well (2 families with kids and grandparents). Washing facilities proved very useful. Pool rota worked well and there was always a time available that suited us (open 8am-7pm). Host responded quickly. Lacking house guidance but not a problem and host responded to advise. Note access into house could be an issue for less able and push chairs-steep steps to front and lowest step broken away (advised host so this might get fixed). Rear access via steps and narrow sloping and muddy path. Parking to rear -you block in your other car. Parking spaces not spacious but adequate. We loved it thank you Beach Retreats!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Naomi’s place with our two young children. The location is perfect - 5 min walk from the beach and literally a road away from the main strip of shops and restaurants. View is spectacular when having a cup of tea by the window! Use of the amenities at the nearby holiday park is a real bonus. Apartment was absolutely spotless, and had some really thoughtful extras, like a hidden doll house, some kids books and games. Thank you for a brilliant stay, we’ll be back!

Stunning apartment, immaculate throughout. Great attention to detail, beautiful view and great location. Worth every penny, will definitely return. Would highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. 😃

This is the biggest and best Airbnb we've stayed in. Apart from being spacious, uncluttered and clean, it felt luxurious and generous. EG The bed gave me the best night's sleep for a long time, the hand soaps were high quality, the hot water appeared almost instantly and the kitchen was generously equipped. We didn't get to meet Simon, but the communication was clear and we felt trusted just to get on and enjoy the holiday. A very special place and host.

We stayed for a few days to see the Earl of Rone folk festivities - absolutely perfect location right next to the beach. Incredibly clean, comfortable and welcoming space with a nice bottle of wine on our arrival. The flat had everything you could possibly need including a very well equipped kitchen with good quality implements (not always a given!). It's clear lots of time and thought has been put in to making this space feel just right. Lovely walks from the flat and a quick drive to places nearby that have lots of foodie options if fish and chips not your bag. Very much recommended!

We spent a week in this very pleasant and comfortable apartment. It is well equipped with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. It has a superb view of the bay and is a short walk to the shops and restaurants.

Steve's flat ticked all the boxes- and then some more! Communication was fast and friendly right from the start. Diirections were clear and very detailed making it easy to check in. The property was clean and fresh (it smelt lovely) and it was tastefully decorated with some great artwork. absolutely everything you need is in the flat, along with some nice treats. The view is stunning and we enjoyed watching the routine of setting up the beach for the day from the lounge. Woolacombe has lots of nice places to eat, curry on the beach in the evening sun was a highlight. Thank you Steve, we hope we can come and stay again.

We were so comfortable staying at Edds house. It’s one of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was carefully thought out and we appreciated all of the small touches (particularly the bag of local fudge!). I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Andrew was very helpful and his home was beautifully presented. Parking is super easy, it's clean, the balcony is great and what I also loved was the equipment for families. I didn't need them as I wasn't with my children. But there was a highchair, kids crockery and cutlery and buckets and spades. The rooms are very spacious, the kitchen appliances work great and the welcome package was really appreciated. I would very much recommend Andrew's home for any trip to Bude. it has lovely views of the beach, golf club and cricket ground. you're away from the hussle and bussle, although a five minute walk away from it. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

A great spacious apartment with wonderful views of Saunton Sands. Very clean and well equipped and comfortable beds. Tol was veery helpful and communicated very well and responded quickly to our questions. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
