Combe Martin, which placed fourth, was described by the newspaper as "a quiet and unspoilt village" and recommended for its traditional pubs, uncrowded beach and as an idyllic place for country walks.

Woolacombe, which ranked at 27, was praised for being perfect for young families and "lively with all the attractions of a seaside town but without the tacky arcades and pier".

    “Great. Just what north Devon needs, more second home owners....

    Does that make Woolacombe & Combe Martin among the worst places around here for first and only home owners...?”
