There are many beaches nearby Westward Ho! is only five minutes drive and cars can be driven onto Northarn Burrows, adjacent to the beach (charges are made during the season). Instow, Croyde, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe are all within an easy drive.

For our green fingered guests there's RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Tapeley Park and, further afield, the Eden Project.

Also not to be missed are Clovelly, with steep cobbled streets leading down to the picturesque harbour; and Lynton & Lynmouth, scene of the tragic flood of 1952 and linked by the famous cliff railway.

There's horse riding locally or, for the more adventurous, the Tarka Trail where you can walk for miles or hire cycles for the whole family while you take in the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

For those guests with children there's The Milky Way and The Big Sheep adventure parks only a short drive away.
