For decades, the allure of foreign shores—with their guaranteed sunshine, olive groves, and cheap euros—has tempted British holidaymakers away from the domestic coastline. However, as we navigate the current travel landscape, the calculus has shifted dramatically. With geopolitical instability in the Middle East causing a ripple effect of skyrocketing flight prices, increased fuel surcharges, and airport chaos, the quintessential British holiday is no longer just a nostalgic option; it is the smartest, most financially prudent, and often most rewarding choice.
What our customers say...
We have stayed at Southover Beach Apartments many times in the last two years, and I have to say they are by far the Self Catering apartment of choice in Woolacombe. We have stayed in at least two of the apartments ('Garden' - nice open plan, but only apart. with no sea views, and 'Honeymoon' - fantastic upstairs/downstairs style with a spiral staircase). The front patios/balconies give unrivalled views along the beach to Putsbrough and Baggy Point - what better way to start the day looking down the beach whilst still in bed. The Steam Room is awesome after a days surfing/swimmimg, and the overal decor and layout of the accommodation is just stunning. The couple who run Southover are extremely friendly and willing to either give as much advice and help as you wish, or respect your privacy if you do not! Last time we stayed, we arrived late, and as Food is hard to come by in Woolacombe after 9pm, they even offered us some much needed supplies to see us through until the morning (not including the bottle of wine greeting us on arrival!). So popular is this accommodation, we tried to book to come down in September out of season, and can't get in! If anyone has any doubts about staying in this accommodation, then rest assured, you will not find a better mix of luxury, location and comfort in Woolacombe, or Devon or even the South West for that matter.
