Swimming, surfing, canoeing and entertainment for all the family plus fishing are all close by, and the for a day with a difference why not take a trip across to Lundy Island?

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

Great location, good description, easy to access and property was very clean and had everything we needed for a lovely and pleasant stay. We had three older people in the party and they were not a fan of the outside staircase but they were able to access via the bedrooms. Would stay again.

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
