A lovely little place to stay with everything you could possibly need for a peaceful get away, the owners were lovely, very helpful, and had left us a very nice little welcome package. The rooms were spacious and the surrounding gardens and fields a great space for our dog. Those loving the stars will not be disappointed on a clear night as it’s a proper dark sky area and the far reaches of the Milky Way clearly visible with the naked eye. Local roads are small but have sufficient passing places, and are certainly negotiable, albeit a bit steep, but not a problem if you’ve ever negotiated the Scottish highlands. Lynton and Lynmouth are just a few miles away for a seaside visit with lots to do there, further afield we took a drive to Woolacombe which hosted a huge beach and ample parking which is free if you are a national trust member. Also there are numerous national trust places to visit in the area and handy saving on parking fees if you are a member. This place is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone needing a quiet retreat
