The Watch House, a stunning apartment located in Budleigh offers the chance to switch off and enjoy balcony views of the coast. 

Available from Sweetcombe, with prices starting from £801 per week – just under £23 a night if five adults are staying.

This spacious apartment for five people offers scenic views of Budleigh Salterton beach which is easily accessed from the rear of the property. On Sundays, and on other days, depending on the weather, buy fresh fish from the local fisherman straight from the beach to cook for dinner.

The living area boasts French doors which lead to the large balcony with patio furniture and parasol, 'the perfect spot for alfresco dining.'

Once inside, there is an entrance hall leading to two bedrooms, as well as a second flight of stairs that lead up to a 'magnificent' open-plan living area, dining area and kitchen.

'The spacious accommodation has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, tastefully furnished to a very high standard. '  

A spokesman for Sweetcombe added: "Forget flying abroad, as the UK is home to plenty of staycation spots that could be mistaken for foreign holiday destinations.

"Holiday-goers looking for inspiration close to home this summer may want to head to Devon, where you can now stay in a beautiful apartment which looks like you’re in Spain. 

"Just a couple hours' drive from Bristol, The Watch House is just a short walk from the local shops, cafes, and restaurants. It’s also the perfect location for coastal walks and swims, fishing and birdwatching, or just relaxing in the Devon sunshine."
