The place
This is an amazing place for two to settle into the easy Devon lifestyle for a few days. With room for a baby, it’s an ideal launching point to explore Devon's coast, with Combe Martin Beach just a five mile drive down the road. Revel in the fresh sea air, take tours of the seafront, or head further afield to the very dog-friendly town of Woolacombe for a day trip, and explore their award-winning beach. If you came to avoid the hard work however, you might love just staying nearby, taking local walks with the dog, swimming in the indoor pool on site, an afternoon battling in the games room or even taking some yoga classes. When evening rolls around, take a glass of wine to your outside seating, curl up in front of the fire, or take a leisurely and decadent shower in the wet room!
In the neighbourhood
- Favourite Walk Nearby (10 min drive): Enjoy a scenic walk through ancient woodland in the Heddon Valley, leading to the sea between some of England’s highest cliffs. A designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, the valley is rich in wildlife, including otters and the rare high brown fritillary butterfly. Don’t miss the restored 19th-century lime kiln on the beach
- Bull Point Lighthouse, 35-minute drive: take on the walk to Morte point to the southwest. Known locally as the ‘Seals and Smugglers’ route, we recommend bringing some binoculars, as you might well spot Atlantic seals or porpoises if you’re lucky!
- Baggy Point, 35-minute drive: Overlooking Croyde beach, and one of North Devon’s best surfing spots, you might spot climbers scaling the cliffs or coasteerers… coasteering. This spot’s maintained by The National Trust and is three paw rated for dogs!
- Dunkery & Horner Wood, 40-minute drive: Take the dogs for a trip around the woods, searching for smells and burning off that excess energy. Just be sure to lead up where necessary.
