Please refer to the map to look at Bay Tree’s location. Consider this when comparing Bay Tree to other properties promoted as being in Braunton. Most are NOT in Braunton and if they are most are not in the centre, with parking and an easy walk to pubs, shops and quality restaurants. [Note: VRBO define a distance to the centre of the parish and not the centre of Braunton village]

Review the photos to appreciate that Bay Tree is not a normal holiday let. The property has been upgraded to a high standard using quality materials by expert craftsmen.

Very good holiday home in centre of large village
Situated on a residential development in Braunton, (which is a bustling village), the bungalow is a short walk from all of the village amenities including pubs, various restaurants (do book before your holiday) and a good selection of shops. It is also very central to get to local beaches, gardens and Exmoor. There are also good walks from the door. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the house and felt very much at home from the moment we opened the door. Lounge is really comfortable, kitchen very well equipped, refitted shower room (and power shower) very good and the bed very comfortable. Also the enclosed garden was a bonus as we had really good weather and it was great to come back and enjoy a glass of something cold in the evening! Excellent communication with Barrie (many thanks) from booking onwards. A great holiday!

Peaceful break
The bungalow was lovely. The kitchen was very well equipped, although we didn’t take full advantage of everything and the bathroom was also fine. Very comfortable beds, I especially liked having a large cupboard instead of a wardrobe, plenty of room for hanging and also for case and hold-all storage. Overall a very nice bungalow. Braunton has masses of eating places, no need to cook if you don’t want to, which we didn’t. Thank you Barrie.

Great holiday property
The bungalow is in a great location, walking distance from town and all the shops, restaurants etc. It is also well situated for driving to different places in North Devon. The bungalow interior is clean, modern and nicely decorated. It has everything you need for your stay and is perfect for a family of three or four. There is also a nice rear garden for sitting out. Highly recommend the bungalow for anyone wanting to explore the beaches and local area.

Nice stay at Bay Tree Cottage
The process of booking & communication was very easy. The cottage had everything we needed: and was relaxed and comfortable and has a great location within a short walking distance to the town. The garden was a bonus. We enjoyed our stay but just one small suggestion to replace the old chest of drawers in the bedrooms and replace with new storage drawers. Otherwise, perfect, thank you Barrie.

Very nice place to stay, very well equiped and a lovely garden to sit in as well
We were very pleased when we arrived, very spacious, everything was there we needed. A very good location for exploring the rest of the town. Also very quiet which was a plus. We were very lucky with the weather as well it was very hot when we were there, so sitting in the garden was very pleasant with a cold one or two. The only thing we thought might be welcome was a fan as the nights were very warm but it's only a thought. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and we would definitely stay there again.

A comfortable quiet property in a central location. Ideal for exploring the area
Bay Tree was a lovely property, ideal for all our needs. It is situated in a quiet location in Braunton but within walking distance of shops, restaurants and walks. The comprehensive information pack giving us local information was much appreciated. The beautiful beaches and coastal walks are within a short drive and trips to Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and Coombe Martin are within easy reach

The house was so welcoming,beautifully clean, light and cheery. The bottle of milk and chilled wine in the fridge were a joy to discover. The house was full of information to help us get the most out of our stay. There is plenty of China and cutlery in the kitchen,everything you could think of really. The TV and music system were easy to navigate. We really enjoyed our stay here,will certainly recommend .
