Location, Location, Location star Kirstie Allsopp clearly knows a thing or two about property - and the place she's chose as her second home is the idyllic, remote region of Welcombe Mouth, North Devon. Visitors have raved about the "beautiful beach", while gentle hiking routes offer superb atlantic views.
The famous Cornish coastal town of Bude with its surf, sea and sand, is just 20 minutes away by car - and yet there's no hustle and bustle in Kirstie's neck of the woods. On the contrary, it's secluded, remote and one of the region's best kept secrets. Even better, if you're a group of 14, each person could end up paying rates of just £185 per week - and end up in a beachside mansion for less than the price of a one-bedroom London flat.
Visiting Welcombe Mouth is a no-brainer - but also, fans of Kirstie's Channel 4 shows will jump at the chance to stay in her very own home.
Her primary residence is in London's Notting Hill, while she and her family visit their Devon home regularly - but when they're not around, particularly during the summer, they rent it out.
The Kirstie's Homemade Home star doesn't hide evidence of ownership, either - there's even a poster of her on the wall in the games room.
The six-bedroom Meadowgate Cottage residence, which is listed on the Classic Cottages holiday lets website, also boasts Kirstie's own homemade crafts and characterful, eclectic choice of furnishings.
The games room, situated in the ground floor annexe, contains ping ping and football tables, while from there, the adjoining garden has a direct path leading up to the blissful beach.
The kitchen is huge - perfect for cooking connoiseurs looking to lay on a banquet for 14 - and is equipped with an AGA stove.
Then there are two sitting rooms benefitting from plenty of natural sunlight and a roll-top bath for luxuriating on holiday.
It's already received rave reviews, with one visitor praising: "A wonderful spacious, well-equipped house, in a hidden corner of Devon, with easy access to the beach. My granddaughter named it the WOW house - and it really is!"
