Recently returned from a great weeks stay in Soft Sands. The appartment was lovely, clean and well laid out with everything you could need. Plus a fabulous balcony with the most beautiful panoramic views of the Woolacombe beaches. Only 5 minutes walk to the beach and town centre where there are some lovely resturants, bars and shops. We will definitely be staying again!
