We had such a special stay over Christmas. Dunes 3 was perfect as we could see the sea and had a parking space right next to the villa. The villa was decorated beautifully. We loved the little touches left for our son and dog and we got a hamper too! Just amazing to be straight on the beach but also have such stunning views from the sofa. 8We'll definitely be back!

This was one of multiple returns and it did not fail to impress again will great comfortable, clean chalets we all feel its a home away from home and get excited every time we book.
This time we did the cliff top walk to croyde had a lovely lunch before starting our walk back. This was a great easy walk especially for our senior dog who is now nearly 12 and has arthritis but refuses to slow down. Looking to book our next visit

We love Saunton Beach Villas, this is our second stay here and we love it during the winter. You can't beat the location with the amazing dunes and the beach as soon as you step out of your villa.
The people that work here are so helpful and kind, the villas have everything you need for a dog friendly stay. Love the outside shower for dogs, dog bowls, dog blankets, dog treats, dog ball and the clip for the dog collars which shows they are staying at saunton beach villas if they got lost.
You can stay on either the top level or the bottom level of villas, the bottom level is closer to the carpark and easier for bringing bags in but the top level you get amazing morning sunrises and views out onto the dunes.
Beds very comfortable, plenty of seating and strong hot showers. Only small improvement may be a heated towel rack to help us get towels dry in the bathroom - but this is minor!

What an amazing location for a weekend break - perfect for easy access to the beach at Saunton for some surfing, all made very pleasurable by being able to walk back to a comfortable villa and excellent hot shower! And the dog has never been happier with all that beach to run about on! We will definitely return.

Great autumn long weekend break for 2 couples with 5 dogs. Everything you could possibly need. Place was lovely and clean. Kitchen well stocked with crockery etc for cooking/eating. Even a little gift box for the pooches, which was a lovely touch. Only recommended improvement was the hot water seemed to run low in the shower which could be improved. Otherwise, a lovely location and villa.

We’re a family of four, two adults kids and 3 dogs. We stay red in Dunes1, perfect location for relaxing on the beach, walking on the beach or the sand dunes. The beach is dog friendly all year round. There is a cafe nearby serving very nice food. We didn’t have to drive anywhere. Comfortable beds good black out curtains, everything in good working condition. Absolutely fantastic place.

We stayed for four nights at Saunton Beach Villas, with our dog, and basically enjoyed our time there.|On the negative side:|• We were not happy at having to take our own towels. This wasn’t made clear at the time of booking, but only when we received an ‘information’ email two weeks before our stay.|• We felt that one toilet roll was rather mean, especially as the accommodation sleeps 4.|• The Reception was difficult to find. It’s not clearly signed as one enters the car park and we had to ask someone.|• One of the outside lights didn’t work and whilst a temporary unit was installed, it went off too quickly.|On the positive side:|• Parking was very convenient, with flat access to the villa.|• The kitchen was well equipped.|• The property was spotlessly clean.

First stay at Saunton Sands and it was superb stay The chalet was clean and spacious and just a two minute walk to the beach for great dog walks .Staff were very friendly and helpful and would recommend to others staying there.

The chalet was no 10 which had a view of the sand dunes. It had a parking space slightly down the hill but there was a turning circle that we could drop off our bags which was closer. The chalet had 3 good sized bedrooms, bathroom with separate wc and large lounge and kitchen diner. The patio doors opened onto an enclosed area ideal to let the dog out as it was secure. Very clean in all areas and comfortable beds. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and crockery and a small cleaning starter pack plus a large fridge/freezer electric hob and oven. |The beach , sand dunes and beach grill was totally welcoming for our dog and the service at the grill was excellent. A nice touch was a doggie welcome pack with a ring to say he was staying at Saunton Villas .The area was beautiful and we had great use of our national trust card.|The only thing we missed was a multi purpose spray to clean the surfaces before we left . |Well done and thanks for a great value for money stay although we had a bit of wind and rain !!

Just had a lovely few days at the Sauton beach villas with my 2 retrievers. They appreciated the complimentary welcome pack on arrival. Very dog friendly. Was sold on the enclosed garden very nice and the outdoor shower was useful.|Beautiful beach and so close. Was great walking to the beach evert day.|Chalet was clean, spacious and well equipped and the dog bowls were useful |Would highly recommend Saunton sands beach villas and hope to visit again.

What an amazing place to stay with family and the dogs. Fantastic beach on your doorstep and the villas provide everything for a care free holiday. The cafe on site is a lovely place to start the day and the staff are great. The surrounding areas of Croyde and Braunton are so nice meaning you don’t have to do a lot of driving around and can enjoy all the local amenities. Fully recommend Saunton beach villas.

Stayed in 1 the burrows with our doggies.||The villa was nice a clean and plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 dogs, we asked for 2 cages for the dogs on an arrival and they were in the villa on arrival. ||Beds were comfortable and sheets were clean.|Bathroom was all fine with toilet rolls and hand soap, one large towel and one hand towel. ||The shop, cafe and beach were excellent for our stay.||Will definitely return if visiting North Devon

As repeat visitors we are yet to be disappointed. The villa is always spotlessly clean on arrival, again the extra touches of coffee pods, dog treats and information fliers are appreciated. We opt to request dog crates and a fan, which add to the convenience of our stay. The villa itself contains everything you need for a pleasant self catering stay. There is a large Tesco located nearby, where you can shop for items needed during your stay, they also deliver directly to the villas. The accommodation is situated a 5 minute walk away from the beach. Parking is allocated outside each villa and is spacious (I drive a pick up truck and there's more than enough room to park and maneuver) the beach shop sells coffee, alcohol, snacks and dog items etc - all the little convenient things you need, along with beach goodies and souvenirs. I could go on with recommendations for things to do and places to eat locally! But in short, we will be back again to stay at Saunton beach villas. As a family it ticks all of the boxes for a UK coastal get away. It's easy to book, conveniently situated and a stress free break. Thanks again team, see you soon.

A lovely week with four generations of our family and 2 dogs. We stayed in 12 The Dunes and it was everything we hoped it would be. Great villa with plenty of space for all of us, comforty beds and well equipped kitchen. Fantastic enclosed garden for the dogs and a lovely treat box for them on arrival. It helped that the weather was great too. We were having so much fun that we forgot to take photos. We will definitely be back. Thank you

After a really stressful first part of the year, this was exactly what I needed. Peaceful and long walks on the beach with my dog.|The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable, loved the beach ornaments, and was so thoughtful with pets in mind. It was like home from home, but with the sea and beach on the doorstep. Walked 4 miles a day, my poor dog was shattered, but enjoyed the rock pools. Had a lovely meal at the Beach Grill were we sat on the balcony. Have already booked for next year.

Our first visit to Saunton beach villas. This is a dog friendly place with a dog friendly beach. Situated just outside of two lovely towns with plenty of amenities. Lots of lovely places to visit. This is an ideal base for walks and visiting other town nearby. The villa is looking a little tired but the cleanliness was perfect. We will definitely be booking again.
Response from the owner 12:58 25 Jul 25

Great weekend at Saunton beach villas. We stayed in dunes 2 - spotlessly clean on arrival. Every thing you could want in a villa. Super friendly staff. Super dog friendly and we loved the doggy shower in the garden - Seconds walk to the beach. Check-in and checkout super easy and explained really well. |The beach grill restaurant was a big bonus too. Dog friendly and lovely staff. |Perfect stay with our fur baby. Will definitely be back

The accommodation is spotlessly clean and comfortable if not luxurious. The positioning of the villas is very strange with windows from one chalet directly looking into the garden of the one next door. This results in compromised privacy for both. The location is perfect for the beach and the dog friendly measures are great for those with dogs. We were happy to bring our own towels but I was still a bit taken aback to only be provided with one measly hand towel in the bathroom. I was also expecting a dishwasher but perhaps that’s just me being overly demanding. Overall it’s a very nice place to stay with easy access to an excellent beach so don’t let the cons put you off.

Wow what a fantastic place to stay! Totally dog friendly, and a 5* beach that welcomes dogs all year round. The Villa was superb with everything you could possible need catered for, including a large fully fenced garden. Little touches like the dog treat box with a ball went down very will with our two dogs. If you have dogs and love the beach, book a break, you will not be disappointed.

We as a family can't love this place enough! This was our 3rd stay and we hope for many more. The villa is always clean with a personal touch to our welcome pack on the kitchen table. It has great WiFi to keep us entertained inside but to have the beach on the doorstep is where the real beauty is. Dog friendly and welcoming! Beautiful sights and amazing sounds. If you love the beach staying here is a must, no matter the season! ❤️

We had a lovely impromptu 4-night stay at Saunton Beach Villas. It had everything we needed. The dogs loved their walks in the dunes and on the beach and there were some doggie treats on arrival. The heaters in the villa were good for the cooler November evenings. We were there on fireworks night but couldn’t hear any from indoors but they could be heard in the distance from the fully enclosed garden. Braunton is only 10 minutes drive for takeaways.

A really lovely, genuinely dog friendly place to stay. The staff on site were friendly and the location is beautiful. Despite being dog friendly, the villa was spotless when I checked.
My only note would be to ignore the outdoor dog shower promise. It's a hose pipe in the garden and within a couple seconds of being used you're in a deep muddy and sandy puddle so it makes things worse!

Visited saunton beach villa's for 2nd time for a 4 night break. Villa spotless, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enclosed garden for our 4 dogs. Walks on the burrows or beach on the doorstep. Cafe and diner onsite if you fancy treating yourself. Location great for visiting Ilfracombe but Braunton village is also nice for a wander.

We have stayed here many times and have just returned from what has been a glorious sunny week. As always the Villa was clean and very comfortable. The fenced off gardens are ideal for dogs, and our two love the freedom of being able to roam in and out of the villa. With a two minute walk to the dog friendly, outstandingly beautiful, huge beach, you really don't need to go anywhere else during your stay (except popping to the beach shop to grab a pasty!). Saunton Villas is must for people holidaying with dogs, it is very dog friendly, and they are welcomed. Thanks you Saunton Villas!

Absolutely love Saunton Sands, the dog friendly beach and people you meet along the way, all like minded… it really is a lovely place!
Having stayed this time at Saunton Beach Villas, can’t recommend this highly enough! The villas are beautifully built and kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing stay with your furry best friends! Nothing has not been thought of to make this as relaxing as possible and enjoyable for both the doggies and their humans! Really is a stones throw to the beach and all amenities have been thought of, from the reception that holds items for doggies, including homemade cookies and cream, to the shop that has everything you need, for a beach day! Equally the restaurant is highly recommended and they have a click and collect for food… dinner sorted too! Highly recommend everything about this beautiful place. Thank you for making our stay soo relaxing and enjoyable.

Brilliant holiday accommodation. We stayed in Burrows 9 which was just perfect for 2 adults and 2 very large German shepherds. Lovely and clean accommodation and a wonderful personalised gift box for the dogs was on the table. We arrived later than scheduled due to traffic so I called them to let them know, they were very helpful and reassured us that the key code would be sent so we could access without any problems. They even checked on us the following day, em which was nice. The location is amazing 1 minute and we were on the Burrows for super walks and only 4 minutes walk to the most dog friendly beach - we did a 4 hour dog walk to crow point (fabulous). We can’t wait to return……

It had everything we needed, the location was amazing and the ability to have the back door open onto an enclosed garden was perfect. We did lots of beach walks and the food at the Beach Grill was delicious. tip - get your tesco delivery to your door !

What a lovely place to stay. Villa was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a self catering stay. The beach was gorgeous and our dog thoroughly enjoyed his runs on the beach and through the Burrows. Was sad to have to leave it behind and come home but would have no hesitation in returning perhaps for longer next time.

Nice place, we had an 8 sleeper and it was certainly big enough for us all. Nice kitchen, clean, tidy, fresh bedding (don’t forget to take your towels), plenty of hot water and decent bathroom.
Well equipped kitchen and able to cook breakfast for all of us each morning.
The lawn area needs some attention and nicer furniture to sit on in the sun etc.
£850 for 3 nights was on the high side I thought but the location was amazing as right in the beach and tucked into the dunes!

As always a great stay in these perfectly located beach Villas. They are basic but perfectly clean, tidy and comfy, just what is needed for a beach holiday with or without dogs. Short walk to the stunning beach, absolute convenience and the beauty of the sand dunes opposite. Always found the reception, team, cleaners to be super friendly and helpful. Will visit again.

Clean, well appointed villa with comfortable beds, the dogs loved it and enjoyed the beach at least twice a day, occasionally more. I never made it to the beach because although I'd spoken to a member of staff before booking to ask about access through the dunes and was informed that that there were concrete paths I wasn't told that in places there were slopes, in particular the quite steep ramp down from the car park to the beach. Even if I'd made use of a beach wheelchair I would have needed assistance to get down and up the ramp and with four dogs to control my friend wouldn't have been able to push me. It spoiled the holiday for me and for my friend, who incidentally had nothing but praise for the members of staff she spoke to having left her laptop behind. They were friendly and helpful and organised it being returned to her as speedily as possible.

We have just got back from a short break here. Absolutely excellent location and accommodation. The most dog-friendly place we have ever stayed. The chalet was spotless and well equipped with a few nice 'doggy' touches - a doggy bag of treats including biscuits, a tennis ball, poo bags and a dog identity disc.
Straight out of the chalet onto miles of dunes and an endless beach.

Our 4th stay in the villa but the first time we have arrived in daylight. As soon as we turned off the road, drank in the amazing view Peppa sat up wagging her tail & I swear was smiling the happiest doggy smile ever!
Dunes 8 as always was spotlessly clean with the great addition of WiFi & smart tv's. Meant my husband could finish his work , our little girl could watch her favourite tea time programmes & mummy could sit outside with a glass of wine listening to the sea.
We were extremely lucky with the weather, lots of long walks on the beach & burrows - absolutely perfect . As always sad faces on leaving & an absolutely exhausted dog!
Already looking at dates for our next trip.
Thank you once again for an amazing long weekend .
