Hawthorn was such a lovely place to have a break away from it all. It was comfortable, clean, tidy and well equipped and the surroundings were beautiful. The welcome pack was a lovely touch from the owners Mary and Graham. We would definitely recommend this place if you want a lovely holiday in North Devon.
