Owner's Description
Just a few miles from the soaring cliffs and wide surfing beaches of the north Devon coast, these privately owned and extremely well appointed lodges provide an ideal base from which to enjoy the county's popular coastline, pretty villages and national parks.
Delightfully car free, the picturesque village of Clovelly, with its donkey transport and quaint cottages lining stepped cobbled lanes down to the ancient harbour, is only 4 miles distant. Fabulous beaches at Westward Ho!, Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and the surfers' paradise of Croyde Bay are all within easy reach as are Bude, a bustling holiday centre with superb surfing beaches, and stunning coastal pathways around Hartland Point's 325 feet of sheer cliffs. Also an easy drive away is Bideford, an attractive market town set on the banks of the Torridge estuary, and boasting a harbour from where visitors can take a boat trip to the unspoilt little island of Lundy – England's only marine nature reserve and home to the largest seabird colony in the south of the country.
Further afield to the north, the glories of Exmoor National Park and Lorna Doone country are a joy to explore – whether on foot, on horseback or by wheeled transport. The resorts of Lynton and Lynmouth, linked by a unique water powered cliff railway, are a 'must see', whilst to the south there are great days out to be had amidst the rugged grandeur of Dartmoor's landscape, home to the famous wild ponies and dotted with picturesque and welcoming villages.
There is plenty to see and do nearby – the Big Sheep and Milky Way are popular family attractions, and Hartland Abbey, RHS Rosemoor, Appledore's art galleries and the new Atlantic Village are all well worth a visit, whilst the justifiably world famous, amazing Eden Project is about an hour's drive. Sandymouth Bay's award winning National Trust managed beach, the Tarka Trail's miles of walking and cycling track running through glorious Devon countryside, and the South West Coastal Path all invite exploration.
Hartland (4 miles) offers sea angling, riding and a golf course and both tennis and coarse fishing are available at the lodge park. The thriving village of Woolfard is worthy, or Woolsery as it is known locally, offers a shop/post office and pub serving food (2 miles).
