A lovely, tranquil spot in the woods and comfy cabins. The hot tub was excellent and the cabin was warm and cosy with a great heating system. If you like isolation and a simple break, then this is for you. 15 minutes from Bideford or Barnstaple down country lanes where everything you might need is on hand.
