Measuring just 3 miles by ¾ mile, this entire island has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Really pleased with the house. It was spacious and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. Location was great as very near to Bideford town. Lots of thoughtful extras such as dishwasher tablets, laundry tablets and tea and coffee, etc and the bedding and towels were spotless. We would stay again. My only feedback is that the stairs from the living room to the garden didn’t feel very safe to use and the sofas were quite stained and needed cleaning but there was a clean throw over one of them so it was ok. Thank you for a lovely stay and we would recommend
