Family Holiday Cottages in Combe Martin

Combe Martin lies on North Devon’s dramatic coast, with a long, narrow village stretching down to a small, sheltered sand-and-shingle cove framed by high cliffs. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Combe Martin means you are close to the beach for paddling, rockpooling and kayak or paddleboard hire, with the South West Coast Path climbing steeply away on either side for big sea views. The village has the basics you need – shops, pubs, cafés – without feeling overly commercial, and is home to the unique Pack O' Cards pub.

Families can split days between low-tide rockpool adventures, simple sea swims and short but steep coast path walks to nearby viewpoints. Larger sandy beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton are within driving distance when you want more space and surf. A holiday home in Combe Martin gives you a cosy base between Exmoor’s moorland and the north coast, where you can return tired but happy after cliff-top walks and time in the cove.
