The only Devon village west of the River Tamar offers a pub which serves real ales and a children’s play area. This is a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding area with some lovely walking and cycling opportunities. Nearby Holsworthy has much to offer, including a swimming pool, tennis court and splendid park with bowling green. Holsworthy town centre boasts a varied selection of traditional shops, pubs and cafés, based around the market square. Further afield is the popular coastal town of Bude which has something for everyone; great beaches for relaxing, and building sandcastles on, rockpools for investigating at low tide and cafes to watch it all from. For days out, take the coast road north to see the lonely lighthouse above the sea at Hartland Point or walk down the steep and cobbled village street (no cars allowed) of beautiful Clovelly to the harbour and the pub below. Follow the coast in the other direction and there's the little cove of Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, Doc Martin's "Port Wenn" at Port Isaac, home of the Fisherman's Friends and yet more great surfing beaches at Polzeath.

Mark
The photos do not do it justice - the kitchen and bathrooms were stunning and every comfort is covered. It is very focused on dogs , with the warm dog shower and hairdryer , the fenced in patio area and fenced paddock , and as many clean dog towels as you want! Perfect for us! Lots of lovely woods walks and 8 miles from perfect beaches! Mark and Carroll are very welcoming and always available for any queries-so friendly and helpful! The property is spotless and the bedding is a very high quality,I have very sensitive skin and bring my own sheets on holiday - but I didnt need to use them which was lovely! We will definitely be coming again next year and would highly recommend to anyone. We were over the moon with everything-and the hot tub is on from 10-10 every day so you can nip in whenever you want to! We really loved that! The only problem was we didn't want to leave!
Andrew
