Knelle Lodge, located in Saunton, Devon, is a beautifully refurbished Edwardian house that offers a stunning view of Saunton Sands, a favored beach among families, surfers, and walkers. The area is characterized by miles of golden sands, expansive dunes, and the inviting sea, all just a short stroll away. For those interested in surfing, the renowned Croyde beach and the Saunton Golf Club are conveniently situated a mere five-minute drive from the lodge. The property features four spacious apartments, including Apartment 4, which is designed for year-round enjoyment with activities such as surfing, walking, golfing, and cycling, and is also pet-friendly.
Apartment 4 is a bright and generously sized one-bedroom unit located on the ground floor, accessible via a private entrance that leads to a secluded outdoor seating area. The interior boasts an open-plan living room and kitchen, enhanced by skylights and large windows that flood the space with natural light. A cozy wood burner adds warmth during cooler months, while the kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances, including a Lavazza coffee machine and a Ruark radio, making it a comfortable and functional space for guests.
The bedroom features a premium Superking Zip and Link bed, allowing guests to request either a twin or double setup at the time of booking. Blackout blinds and curtains ensure a restful night's sleep, while secure outdoor storage for wetsuits, surfboards, and bicycles is available for all apartments at the rear of the property. Additionally, Apartment 4 has a private outside shower and one designated off-street parking space, shared among the four apartments, providing convenience for guests.
Knelle Lodge also offers shared garden access, with lower terraces available for all guests and a top terrace reserved for Apartment 1. A sunken trampoline is located on the lowest terrace, with a safety notice for users. The property welcomes two well-behaved dogs, with additional fees applicable, but requests that dogs remain off furnishings and in designated areas. Guests should note that the garden is not enclosed and that the nearby main road can be busy, especially during the summer months. The apartment's prime location in Braunton places it near various attractions, including the South West Coast Path, Ilfracombe Harbour, and local gardens, making it an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts.
