Other things to note
OUT AND ABOUT….
North Devon offers everything you could wish for on holiday. From unspoilt rolling hills to dramatic countryside, sandy beaches, and picturesque villages.

There are many local restaurants and numerous beach cafes – you will be spoilt for choice, or we even cater for you! Lundy Island is only a boat trip away where you may be joined by Dolphins, Seals, Puffins & Deer!

There are beautiful sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, or Braunton Burrows but not forgetting the wonderful galleries and cafes at Instow and Appledore, which is rich with maritime themes and link to the sea. Clovelly is a short car journey away and is pretty as a picture. Once you have discovered this very special place, you’ll be looking to return as soon as possible.
With wonderful walks, stunning sunsets and endless views there is also an abundance of natural wildlife to observe. There is a shared table tennis room for you to enjoy and we also cater for extra charged experiences such as home made food delivered to your door and donkey walks plus, we have also teamed up with other local businesses to offer horse riding, drinks tasting and spa treatment experiences! Another major attraction is the experience to feed/care for animals should guests wish to.

The Southwest Coast Path is also a popular ‘must visit’ for keen runners and walkers! If golf is your thing, then you will be spoiled for choice with excellent courses including the Royal North Devon Club in Westward Ho! which was founded in 1864 and is the oldest golf course in England and the wonderful Championship Links Saunton Club.

The popular Tarka Trail can be accessed nearby and provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line by foot or by cycle allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and scenery while discovering the towns of Barnstaple and Bideford where you can wander during the weekly pannier markets, with a host of local produce, quality cafés and crafts on offer. On your Tarka Trail journey be sure to visit the Fremington Quay Café for a tasty bite to eat and then the estuary-side village of Instow – a must see!

Other places not to forget to visit are Lynton & Lynmouth for stunning views out towards Wales. And be sure not to forget to visit Exmoor or Dartmoor National Parks, the former with its magical night skies in Europe’s first ’Dark Sky Reserve’.

Neighbourhood highlights

We are in a very rural part of North Devon. The nearest pub is about a mile away and the local town with a good amount of amenities is a 10 minute drive. Other than that, you can expect peace and quiet here though we are a farm and occasionally have tractors and farm machinery around.
