We are surrounded by the breathtaking, panoramic scenery of the North Devon coast, overlooking the rolling countryside and the Bristol Channel. Our location strikes the perfect balance between countryside peace and coastal adventure.

When you stay with us, you get far more than just a place to sleep. We want you to feel right at home, which is why our 3.5-acre grounds are packed with things to do.

Here is what you can enjoy right on our doorstep:

• Sports: Play football, badminton, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, or swing ball.
• Kids’ Fun: Burn energy at the children’s play area and let imaginations run wild with our “Fairy Treasure Hunt”.
• Relaxation: Find your own quiet corner for a picnic or watch the incredible hilltop sunsets.

Our Special Coastal Touch & Local Highlights

We know that packing for a beach day can be a hassle, so we have set up a special on-site beach hut just for our guests. You are welcome to borrow everything you need for a carefree day by the sea, including deck chairs, buckets and spades, and body boards for catching the famous local waves.

Our prime hilltop location puts you within arm’s reach of spectacular local sights and family-favourite amenities:

• Beaches: We sit just minutes away from the golden sands and clean waters of Woolacombe Beach, alongside Croyde and Saunton Sands.
• Walking Trails: Hikers can easily access the spectacular clifftop loops of the South West Coast Path.
• Family Attractions: Enjoy wildlife cruises from Ilfracombe Harbour, or visit nearby Watermouth Castle and Bull Point Lighthouse.
