This gorgeous property, set within 14 acres of gardens, lake, and fields, is ideal for family holidays, reunions, or friends' getaways, close to local amenities and attractions on North Devon’s coast. Head to the pebble beaches backed by rugged cliffs at Peppercombe (4 miles), which offers opportunities for spotting wildlife or Bucks Mills, a picturesque fishing hamlet with beautiful natural surroundings, 7 miles away. If you prefer long, golden sandy shores for water sports, beach walks and building sandcastles, then Westward Ho! (3.5 miles) is a must-visit. Spend a day at Hartland Abbey and Gardens (13 miles), explore the historic house, and relax strolling through the beautiful parkland and valleys before heading one mile further to Hartland Quay, with its wild and dramatic coastal scenery. Alternatively, for something a little more serene, RHS Garden Rosemoor (11 miles) features a diverse range of gardens providing year-round interest for visitors.
