12 Nautilus

12 Nautilus is a stylish, seafront, first floor apartment in Westward Ho, Devon, offering two designated gated parking spots, sea views from the balcony, and the beach just across the road, making it an easy choice for a seaside escape where everything is close at hand.

The reverse-level design places the open-plan living space on the second floor, where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas, form a sociable setting for holiday living.

Meals come together easily, whether it’s breakfast before heading out or supper enjoyed after a day outdoors, while the Smart TV provides relaxed evening entertainment.

Step onto the balcony to take in the coastal outlook, a natural pause between beach visits.

Downstairs, the king-size bedroom features an en-suite with a bath and shower over, while the twin bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, supported by a separate shower room with a walk-in shower.

Westward Ho itself centres around its expansive sandy beach, popular for swimming, paddleboarding, and long shoreline walks.

The South West Coast Path runs nearby, offering scenic routes towards Abbotsham Cliffs and along the rugged coastline.

Within the town, cafés, casual eateries, and traditional seaside favourites line the promenade.

A short drive leads to Appledore, known for its narrow streets, small galleries, and working quay, while Bideford offers riverside walks along the Torridge, independent shops, and historic crossings over Bideford Bridge.

Instow provides a contrasting coastal feel, with an estuary beach, gentle walks, and waterside dining.

After exploring North Devon’s coast and characterful towns, return to 12 Nautilus to round off the day by the sea.
