The nearby riverside town of Bideford with its various facilities, restaurants and large park is also the place to hop on a boat trip to Lundy Island. You can also hire a bike and take a trip along the beautiful Tarka Trail either towards Barnstaple, North Devon’s ‘capital’ or Great Torrington in the opposite direction. RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Docton Mill and Hartland Quay are well worth a visit, along with many pretty fishing villages to explore, including nearby Instow and picturesque Appledore. For family fun The Big Sheep and Milky Way adventure parks are a must.

The Threshing Barn is just beautiful. Wonderfully decorated, great and very well equipped kitchen, and a view from the open plan living room to die for!We were incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to sit out on the patio in the morning and early evenings, which is quite something for late September.Could improvements be made? Yes; a washing machine would be nice as would having a gate on the communal garden to allow dogs to wander around offlead. Please note that the patio is dog-secure but ours will only do her business on grass…The location is fab too; easy access to some of our favourite, dog-friendly beaches such as Westward Ho!, etc.

We loved the Threshing Barn ! Jane and Paul were great hosts, and it was nice to know that they were on hand for any issues. The accommodation is spacious, bright , comfortable and clean with a great view !Close to all of our beloved places, like Clovelly, Appledore, Hartland Quay etc and our favourite watering holes, The Hoops and the Farmers Arms !Sadly our weather wasn't the best so we were unable to utilise the lovely outdoor space and BBQ ....but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Speaking of which ....thanks for the cake and biscuits Jane !! 😋
