Morte Apartment enjoys spectacular views towards Lundy Island over Woolacombe Bay. The main living area is open plan, which maintains a light and airy feeling with a woodburner for the cooler seasons. French doors open on to a large patio perfect for al fresco dining with the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Two large bedrooms also enjoy the stunning views and share a family bathroom with a third bedroom. Morte takes pole position on top of the hillside in the idyllic village of Mortehoe and is an ideal holiday base for exploring everything North Devon has to offer. The accommodation is spot on for couples and families, but if you need space for a larger group, it can be booked together with Combesgate and Barricane.
Mortehoe is short walk away and has a choice of three pubs. It is a pretty stone village which earned a mention in the Domesday Book and has a village shop, tea rooms and a restaurant. There are many beaches close by including the award winning three-mile stretch of golden sands at Woolacombe, which is a healthy walk or a quick drive. Mortehoe Heritage Centre recounts the area's rich maritime history. Mortehoe is the starting point for many scenic walks along this dramatic stretch of coastline. Just north of the village, and reached only on foot, is Rockham Beach lying at the base of the 100 foot cliff; an ideal location for a peaceful day on the sand. Another great beach nearby is Barricane Beach just on the outskirts of the village. It’s a sandy cove perfect for families with low ledges that are great for jumping off. There’s also the wonderful, but seasonal, Barricane Beach café, serving up the distinctly un-Devon flavours of Sri Lanka. Exmoor National Park is also within reach, as is Barnstaple, the shopping capital of North Devon
