Moving through the property, you will find a super-king-size bedroom, a single bedroom, and head upstairs to discover another hidden king-size bedroom, while the bathroom is the perfect place to unwind in, with a relaxing bath after a long day at the beach.

A short excursion to the historical town of Barnstaple offers a chance to explore the Rock Park, visit The Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon, and indulge in some afternoon tea at Tea by The Taw. Further afield, you will find North Devon National Landscape, a must-see coastline if you're looking to escape the city life, ideal for a scenic walk, a splash of surfing or even visiting some spectacular waterfalls. A home-away-from-home, Yo Tams makes a delightful experience for a Devon Escape.
The pretty little Swaledale hamlet of Fremington is situated at the southernmost point of Arkengarthdale, where it meets Swaledale, and is a delightful area with magnificent countryside and spectacular views. The villages of Grinton and Reeth are just a short walk away, offering good pubs and excellent places to eat. Dating back to Saxon times, the village of Reeth became a centre for hand knitting and local lead mining and its 18th Century houses and hotel, clustered around a large village green, make it one of the very popular Dales villages. The village also offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Askrigg, better known to millions as Darrowby in TV's "All Creatures Great and Small", is just a short drive away as well as Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater and Hardraw Force (England's highest single drop waterfall at 99ft). The historic market towns of Richmond and Leyburn are also within easy driving distance and offer a wide range of amenities.
