There are many pubs, restaurants and shops close by as well as a number of wonderful beaches within walking distance. Alternatively, explore the North Devon Atlantic coastline and the golden sands of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands which are 30-40 minutes away by car. Local centres provide traditional country-based activities such as golf, fishing, tennis, horse riding and walking.
