Long Beach House
Description
Longbeach House is aptly named with its enviable vantage point gazing down over the golden sands of, arguably, Britain's best family beach - Woolacombe. Consistently heralded as one of the finest beaches in the country (TripAdvisor voted it the best beach in the UK two years running), the pristine sands, backdropped by dramatic dunes and flanked by breath-taking headlands where the sea meets Exmoor, are less than a 10 minute stroll away.
Its location within the North Devon Coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes Woolacombe a spectacular beach to visit at any time of the year.
Nestled into the side of the valley, Longbeach House commands sensational views across the sparkling bay and out, onwards, to mystical Lundy Island on the horizon with Devon's rolling hills opposite. As the sun settles, the large sun terrace becomes the ideal place to luxuriate and admire the breathtaking sunsets.
Living
The spacious, dual aspect living room has bi-fold doors leading out to the terrace and garden and enjoys fabulous views across Woolacombe and giving stunning views of the beach, sea, and countryside. There is comfortable seating for 6 people, a wall mounted electric fire provides a nice ambience and some heat for the cooler evenings, a Smart TV, Apple TV and fast unlimited secure broadband are all provided.
Dining/Cooking
The large separate kitchen / diner leads off the living room and enjoys similarly spectacular views and is fully equipped with everything you might need to prepare the perfect family meal including a Ninja Multi-Function Air Fryer and even an Onni 16 Pizza Oven! The sun terrace can be accessed directly from the kitchen via patio doors.
There is also a separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. A nespresso coffee machine, with a starter supply of pods, is provided for your stay.
Sleeping
There are 3 bedrooms in Longbeach House sleeping up to 6 guests. The Master Bedroom is a spacious room with a double bed and an en-suite shower room, mezzanine floor and views over the garden, Woolacombe and towards the sea.
Bedroom 2, with a King Size double, enjoys the same views as the Master Bedroom and has an en-suite shower room.
Bedroom 3 has twin beds.
Bathing
To the ground floor there is a WC with hand basin, upstairs the main family bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and basin. Both double bedrooms benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms.
Outside
Outside there are surfboard racks, wetsuit rails, sun loungers, a BBQ, fire-pit and a large table and chairs where the whole family can dine al fresco as the sun goes down.

Lovely house overlooking Woolacombe. It's tidy, modern facilities and comfortable. Plenty of room for a large group aswell. Will look to come back again soon
Review in the Property Review Book:
We have had a wonderful holiday at Long Beach House. The views are fantastic and the house itself is amazingly high-spec. The weather has been unbeliveable (and we didn't pack appropriately). We enjoyed walks on the beach and to Morthoe, and even a nostalisic day trip to Croyde. We enjoyed food at The Beach House, the Red Barn, the chip shop and pastries and cream teas. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and imagine we will be back for a third.
We loved the beach. The weather was good on a few days so we went to the beach and did body boarding - the waves were really big and fun to ride. On the not so hot days we went on 2 walkss - one was on Baggy Point and the second one was on Morthoe which were great. Also on one day we went to The Milky Way and that is a really good theme park. We have enjoyed this holiday lots and thank you for the biscuits in the ktichen and we hope to be back soon. (Aged 10)
We had a very relaxing stay at Long Beach House. The house overlooks Woolacombe with a fantastic view of the sea from the spacious patio, kitchen/diner, lounge and two main bedrooms. The house is very well appointed with everything you need for a great holiday. It's also within 10 minutes walking distance of the centre of Woolacombe and the beach. Thoroughly recommended!

We have had a wonderful holiday at Long Beach House. The views are fantastic and the the house itself is amazingly high-spec. The weather has been unbeliebable (And we did not pack appropriately). We enjoyed walks on the beach and to Mortehoe and even a nostalgic day trip to Croyde. We enjoyed food at the beach house, The Red Barn, the chip shop and pasties and cream teas.

Great location with lovely views, spacious and comfortable. However property needs updating as it shows wear and tear from letting. Overall good experience, but taken down rating as the kitchen was a big let down due to not being touched by the housekeeping service at all: dirty work surfaces/cupboards from previous occupants, oven, microwave and fridge freezer haven't been cleaned for a long time. As a mother with young kids, kitchen is one of the first things you check. Needless to say I wasted an hour sorting it out myself as needed to use it asap for the children after a long drive!
We have just had a wonderful few days at long beach house.
Perfectly situated above Woolacombe beach.
The house is immaculate and so well equipped with all the
best branded kitchenware …. Was a real special treat.
The beds, bedding and bathrooms are first class. We will
definitely be going back and sooner rather than later.
We had a super week at Long Beach House. We managed some winter surfing and coastal walking. The house has a glorious view south west - from the living areas and two double bedrooms you can see the length of Woolacombe beach - hard to take your eyes off it! We found the house to be spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach and village.
Easy to access and all as expected. Comfy rooms and well kitted out kitchen. Our only negatives are small - dont like the kettle - takes an age to heat up and the handle is very hot so easy to burn your hand! I think it would be good to have a recycling bin in the kitchen as well as the general disposal.
The service and detail of Ocean Cottages at our recent stay in Woolacombe was brilliant. Very prompt and efficient with the service, communication and documentation around the house. First thing I did when I got home is start to look when I can go back and Ocean Cottages will always now be above other properties in my consideration
This house is genuinely big enough to accommodate 6 adults. We stayed a week. Plenty of space inside and out, decent size bedrooms, nice bathrooms, and lots of the stuff you need to make a holiday work without having to take it with you. In a residential private road up on the valley side the house and its patio have enormous views over the wide beach, the sea and some countryside too. In the immediate foreground is Woolacombe, a few minutes walk down to its centre. The two proper car parking spaces are a real asset.
Had a lovely week in this well appointed house, with its views over Woolacombe and its beach. There was a well thought out welcome pack together with a comfortable, relaxing interior. There were two parking spaces which are very welcome in Woolacombe. The house is in a great position for the amenities and beach and we would definitely recommend a visit.
What a beauitful house; perfect for our stay. The sun shone constantly on our first day walk to Mortehoe, the BullPoint Lighthouse and Morte Point (stunning views!).
The following day we walked the length of Woolacombe beach and back, stopping at Putsborough Beach Cafe for refreshments ; the scampi and chips were perfect.
Thank you for a lovely mini break with friends.
We have stayed at Long Beach House many times with friends and with family and it never disappoints! The house is pristine inside and out, with a well equipped open plan kitchen, convivial lounge, comfortable beds with soft cotton bedding, efficient bath and shower rooms and an ample terrace for al fresco dining, sunbathing or star gazing. You can never tire of the beautiful view across Woolacombe beach and beyond and with easy access to the centre, beach and coastal paths as well as proximity to other surfing beaches your holiday adventure begins as soon as you arrive!
Another fantastic stay at Longbeach House - everything was perfect and we love the views!
Beach walks, cliff top walks at Mortehose and beyond - great dinners as Beachhouse restaurant and great owners at Electric Bar! Thank you so much!
Good weather and nice house, we liked the playing cards.
Beautiful house, perfect for our family. Enjoyed 3 wonderful days of sunshine at the end of our week. Would recommend the curry on barricane beach - get there early to avoid the queues.
Beautiful house, wonderful sunny weather - we had a great time, thank you
We stayed at 'Long beach house' in April 2023 for 3 nights with our son and his fiancé and had the best time. The house is stunning with a beautifully furnished patio and bi-fold doors that open up to show off the amazing view over Woolacombe Bay. There's everything you need in the fully equipped kitchen with the added extra of a great coffee machine and a lovely big fridge. The bedrooms are light and airy with extremely comfy beds and all 3 have access to their own bathroom. The short walk to the center of Woolacombe is a great advantage as there are some lovely places to eat and drink with a gorgeous large sandy beach literally right in the centre. I look forward to returning.
We have had a wonderful week in the house with surely the best view in Woolacombe! We especially loved sitting in the sunshine on the patio and cooking with the amazingly well equipped kitchen! Thank you so much!
We had a lovely stay at No3 Longbeach House. The house is beautiful with lovely views. We had yummy food at the Jube and good drinks at the Electric bar.
We had a very yummy roast at The Rock in Georgeham. It was really, really good.
The views are amazing and we had a great time!
We were amazed upon arrival looking out of the lounge and seeing the view of the coastline and the sea ! The house is absolutely gorgeous, a real home from home . It has everything you need to have a fabulous break . The two bedrooms at the back have a fantastic view of the sea and have very comfortable beds with lovely crisp bed linen . The house has a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next break !
Wow, where do I begin! My partner and I stayed from the 28th October - 4th of November and it was everything we needed. Knowing that the weather was going to be hit and miss this time of year, we were sceptical about how the holiday was going to be, well we needn't be! The downstairs of the lodge comprises of a utility room with washing & tumble drying facilities, a downstairs toilet, and an open plan lounge which filters into the kitchen dining area. You can really tell that whoever owns this property takes real pride in their home, with everything kept to a 5* standard. The kitchen is kitted out with excellent equipment - smeg fridge freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, non stick pots and pans and built in oven/microwave. The lounge has 2 large sofas, an arm chair with 'poof' and a fire to keep you cosy on those cold autumnal nights! The lounge is also extremely bright and vibrant, when the sun beams through the patio doors and it offers fantastic sea views. Upstairs you're welcomed with 3 large double bedrooms, 2 of which are en-suite with sea views and then a family bathroom. The beds were really comfy, with crisp white bed linen. The lodge is operated by hive for the heating and also has a great sound system! It really was a magical stay and I can't wait to go back again! Thanks, George
We stayed at the Longbeach House a few weeks ago and what a fantastic trip it was! When we arrived, we were greeted with a beautifully turned out, modern beach house. The interior was pristine clean with crisp white bed linen and sparkling bathrooms/kitchen. The kitchen was excellently equipped with everything you could need during your stay including some coffee pods, jams and biscuits as an added touch. The lounge is the perfect level of roomy and cosy with the most spectacular views looking over the Woolacombe beach and Devonshire countryside. Each bedroom is spacious with the two rooms at the back also having fantastic views over the coast. There is plenty of room to get ready in each room with dressing tables, mirrors and hairdryers. The master bedroom has good wardrobe and draw space with a king size bed. To the back of the property there is a large patio with tables, chairs and sun loungers. This is an excellent space which again looks out over the amazing scenery. There is a BBQ with all the bits and bobs you need for alfresco dining. The garden has a large lawn perfect for children and dogs to play in safely as this is all very secure, even for small dogs. To the front of the house there is space for 2 cars and off road car parking. The property is located at the top of Woolacombe making this a very quiet property to stay in as it is not situated on a main road, however you are only a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of the beach and town. Long beach house is set 5 mins walk away from Woolacombe beach and town making everything very accessible without having to use a car for the essentials. The town has a great selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and a lovely little cinema situated in the Woolacombe bay hotel. The location is great to access walks to Croyde, Georgeham and Ilfracombe. Overall we could not have asked for more during our stay at the Longbeach house, it really is the perfect spot for couples or families and not forgetting our fury friends.
This property is located in a quiet position,a short distance up the moderately steep hill out of Woolacombe thus,luggage for the beach requires relay transport but,'drop off' is not a problem.Dedicated parking accommodates two vehicles with an electric charging point.This is a very high quality house with every convenience ,including latest internet smart TV,sound system ,etc and ,a wonderful rear garden with views along Woolacombe beach towards Putsbrough.We would book again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and this house made our holiday 10/10! Views were beautiful and the house was super clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend Croyde and The Beach House reastuarant. Also the slushie shop in the main car park.
A wonderful villa clean spacious and tremendous views. All mod cons were a wonderful touch too Thoroughly recommend.
Absolutely beautiful house and location with stunning views... Woolacombe is a special place for us.
Thank you.
House was well equipped with everything you needed. . Comfortable beds and cleanliness spot on. Beautiful views of the sea and surrounding area . Garden a real sun trap. Deffinetly will be back.
We loved our sunny half term week in Woolacombe. The property, the location and the views were all perfect and we really hope we can visit again in the future.
Simply fabulous!! All of it...but especially the very lovely Long Beach House with its stunning views and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We have visited some truly amazing places (especially Lynmouth & Appledore - we recommend the Royal George by the way)
We have had the most fantastic week and have eaten, drunk and slept to full capacity! We are even going home with a bit of a tan and feel fully rested and rejuvenated. Very envious of the next guests.
Thank you to all involved with Long Beach House for a wonderful stay.
Long beach house is simply amazing! The views of the cliffs and and beach are mesmerising and the outdoor terrace, a perfect place to sit - whether around the table or on a sunlounger. Inside the house is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything anyone could wish for! Simply excellent!!
We have had a fanatastic time her at Long Beach House, the views, the house and amenities did not disappoint. The outdoor space was such an added bonus for us with two little girls. Location is great too. We can't wait to return!
Our stay was shorter than planned but once we arrived we were mesmerised by the amazing views from this lovely house. Well equipped with every small detail though of, we came for the Feb halft-term hols and also to gain some healing after chemo for my Mum. The sound of the ocean despite our arrival after 3 storms was certainly healing. We will be back.
We visited clovelly whilst here and we would certainly recommend the drive there. Post office and shops 2 minutes away, so very convenient a location. Will certainly recommend this house!
Thanks for a lovely stay!
Fabulous accommodation in the heart of Woolacombe. Excellent location and stunning views make this the perfect retreat for a family holiday. Ample space in a high quality residence. Looking forward to a return visits with family and friends.
A very modern, light and airy house, equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday. It's just a pity one cannot control the weather. We found the rooms spacious, the beds were the most comfortable beds that we have slept in, in a holiday let. Most of the rooms have fantastic sea views and the sun (when out!!!) is on the terrace most of the day. It is only a short walk to the beach and whilst the house is on a hill, it is an easy hill to walk up. We enjoyed the house so much, we ended up booking a week next year.
This property had everything we needed for a great holiday in Woolacoombe, a real home from home. The views from the property made it extra special. Can't wait to come back.
My fiancé and I stayed here from 11 June for 1 week with my sister, brother-in-law and 2.5 year old niece. The house is lovely and so we'll equipped. It has everything you need for a stay and the views over Woolacombe are just incredible. We very much enjoyed BBQs outside and watching the sunset. The beach is only 5 mins walk and there is so much to do locally for all the family, whatever their age. We will definitely be staying here again - we didn't actually want to leave!
Wonderful house, fantastic views, amazing holiday! On our arrival the house was spotless and we immediately felt at home. Everything was perfect. Lovely 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and the shops/restaurants and we had some great days out. We would love to come back again.
We have visited long beach house on a number of occasions and have always been happy staying there. We are due to stay again in August this year. Many thanks to housekeeping who were also extremely helpful during our switchover week. Thank you
We have stayed here three times now and thoroughly enjoyed every moment from start to finish .... the house is stunningly furnished, fully equipped and enjoys incredible views over Woolacombe Bay towards Lundy island. The beach is 5 minutes away and you can walk to adjoining Putsborough for a pasty and cup of tea on a 5k round trip... the fire pit and sunsets on the terrace create a dream evening every night. Thoroughly recommended if you can get in!!.. book early !!!!
If you are looking for the WOW factor you will find it here. Spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and incredibly sea views. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable stay
Second holiday here. The house is lovely and well equipped in every way. We have had a very relaxing and cosy/comfy stay. Days on the beach and walks on the coastal path in lovely weather. We will be back again later this year! Excellent service from Ocean Cottages, as ever. Thank you.
I love this house. It is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. All the surroundings and furniture are very comfortable and the view is stunning from the kitchen, lounge and double bedrooms. We have had a couple of brilliant family holidays here and will definitely come back.
Another fabulous but woefully short stay at this wonderful spot! We come every year and it never fails to live well beyond our expectations.
The house is our home away from home; clean, spacious, warm and always welcoming. We love all the rooms and it is always well kepy. Always new bits and pecies added each stay to make it a wonderfully comforatable and relaxing break.
There is a new electric charging point, outdoor furniture and local paintingof the fantastic beach. I defy you not to be moved when you stand on the patio and look out and listen...its a glorious spot! Just love it here!
The house has the Wow factor. The views of the beach and sea are wonderful. It is well equipped and very comfortable. We will be back again soon.
Luxury home with excellent facilities for a family of up to 6. Views from the south facing terrace are superb and great area to unwind and watch the sunset towards Lundy Island. Excellent base for the beach and catching waves/body boarding first or last thing and then exploring the local area on the network of footpaths around Woolacombe, Mortehoe, Lee or further afield towards Ilfracombe, Heddon's Mouth and Woody Bay. Cannot wait to return
Beautiful house with all the amenities that you need for a comfortable holiday with fantastic views over looking the sea & woolacombe bay
We had an amazing week, full of lovely memories. Beautiful house with everything you could want (except a shaving point for my toothbrush ). Would definitely love to come back again x
We had a brilliant week staying here. Decor is fresh and crisp and the kitchen is very well equipped. It was very clean and tidy on arrival. The garden has an epic view too. Our only suggestion is for there to be a better quality table and chairs outside so you could enjoy the view in comfort. There's currently only a round pub bench-style table whereas the adjoining property has a lovely table and chairs.
It was absolutely lovely to be able to look out over the beach and sea from the picture windows and patio, with views across to Lundy Island as well as to Baggy Point and Hartland. Hearing the lapping sea was magical. Great location for exploring the area and for coastal and country walks.
It has been a very relaxing week. The house is beautiful. great views. We look forward to returning
We have spent a lovely week here. Beautiful house, magnificent views over the bay, wonderful beach. Lots of nice places to eat.
A shame the weather wasn't too good but we made the most of it and the rain didn't bother us too much. A wonderful family holiday, hope to be back one day.
Had an awesome time. Incredible walks and managed to catch a few waves. The house is clean and well equipped.
Lovely house - great views! Would recommend. Croyde worht a visit too, toddler loved it there on the beach. Curry on Barricane Beach was fab. Funder Island great for little one and very handy because you can use tokens over the week. A wonderful holiday for the Webb family
We have all really enjoyed our stay at 3 Long Beach, such a beautiful house and amazing views. We really appreciated the cake and tea/coffee/milk on arrival. Thank you very much. We can recommend the Bar Electric in Woolacombe and the Chichester Arms in Mortehoe for Sunday roast. We enjoyed visiting Croyde, Combe Martin and the cliff railway between Lynton and Lynmouth is a must. Just a shame the weather wasn't brilliant, but will definitely be recommending this house. Thank you for a lovely holiday!
It has been so wonderful to return to the Long Beach House we first visited nearly 3 years ago, our children now 5 and 3 years! the house just as it was, the house exceptionally clean as usual and well equipped still. the views are breathtakingly mesmerizing! A great lookout point and a lovely garden to spend an early summers evening! We have been blessed with the weather, having only 2 overcast days out of 10. but it was still very warm. We have a tan that could rival a week in Majorca! We mainly spent out time on the beach here in Woolacombe but did visit Ilfracombe, Watermouth Castle and the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park - a big hit with out son! We also visited Saunton Beach, to see the D-Day parade which was fantastic fun and educational too. As before, a wonderful stay in a beautiful house, we will miss it, though we will return again soon!
The three nights that we've spent here have been absolutely amazing. the sights, the works, the memories made out on the beach only to come back to a stunning house and such a beautifully decorated house too! The trek down to Baggy Point really puts things into perspective as you're just taken away by the sound of the crashing waves and the sights. This trip has honestly been a breath of fresh air, thank you so much for your hospitality!
A beautiful house with fabulous views and easy access to all the facilities of Woolacombe, to beach and footpaths. Very clean and quite well-equipped. Perfect for family of grandparents (if quite mobile), parents and teenagers. 2 or 3 showers are the overhead type, not ideal for everybody. Property managers very helpful in every way. Would definitely stay again.
Great house and location, literally 5 minutes from the beach. Had everything that you'd require for self catering, clean and comfortable. Only criticism is the light weight curtains, need to be thicker to stop the sun shinning in at 4am! As a family we have been holidaying at Woolacombe for years and would definitely use Ocean Cottages and Long Beach house again.
