The house is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos! It is so spacious, comfortable and well equipped that it made for such a perfect break with extended family. The owners have thought of everything! There isn’t too much to do close by except for a couple of lovely golf courses (around 5 and 15 mins drive away) but the games room and hot tub are incredible and so well looked after that we didn’t want to leave the house, even the 7 year old didn’t get bored! We went to Westward ho beach for a day out which is a huge beach and some lovely places to eat nearby and arcades to play in. For dog walks we did have to drive out a little. There is a nice circuit at Codden Hill and Forest walks at Eggesford. The closest is a river walk from the train station in Umberleigh. This was meant to be a one off luxury stay for my husband’s 40th but we are already what excuse we can use to can come again!!
