Set high above one of England’s most majestic stretches of coastline, Chalet Saunton rises in quiet, effortless splendour — a sanctuary of modern coastal luxury where sea, sky, and architecture meet in seamless harmony. This boutique collection of six exceptional apartments has been crafted to an impeccable standard, yet none quite rivals the elevated grandeur of The Penthouse, poised at its crown and surveying the golden sweep of Saunton Sands below.
A private staircase leads you into the Penthouse’s open-plan living space, where calm, contemporary design meets panoramic drama. Soft, inviting furnishings frame a widescreen TV and surround-sound system, while a wood-burning stove transforms winter evenings into the cosiest of retreats. The beautifully appointed kitchen — complete with breakfast island and dining table — draws your gaze outward, its uninterrupted sea views turning simple moments into something quietly extraordinary.

Both bedrooms sit peacefully at the rear of the apartment, each thoughtfully designed to evoke rest and refinement. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed, roll-top bath, and an elegant en-suite bathroom with WC and washbasin — a serene space to soak and reset after days spent by the shore. The second bedroom features a double bed and a double sofa bed (available by request), along with its own en-suite equipped with a jet shower, WC, and washbasin. Every detail throughout speaks of quality: bespoke materials, tactile finishes, and a serene, light-filled atmosphere that flows from room to room.
As part of a dog-friendly, purpose-built apart-hotel, The Penthouse blends the privacy of an exclusive residence with the indulgence and ease of a luxury coastal retreat. Here, comfort is considered, service is discreet, and the landscape takes centre stage.
Step outside and Saunton Sands unfurls before you — a vast, cinematic expanse of beach fringed by Braunton Burrows, England’s largest sand dune system and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

It’s a playground for walkers, runners, surfers, and four-legged adventurers, while nearby Saunton Golf Club and the Tarka Trail offer world-class recreation surrounded by Devon’s wild natural beauty.
Beyond the shoreline, North Devon reveals its full tapestry: the windswept moorlands of Exmoor National Park, the cliffside charm of Lynton and Lynmouth, the artistic pulse of Ilfracombe, and the timeless cobbled pathways of Clovelly. Families, too, will find endless adventure — from The Big Sheep and The Milky Way Adventure Park to Exmoor Zoo and the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.
Poised in its commanding position, elevated in design and spirit, The Penthouse offers more than a place to stay — it’s an invitation to live to the slow, mesmerising rhythm of the se
