The kitchen had everything we needed, and the cozy living spaces made for the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring North Devon. Whether it was walks in the surrouRead morending nature, enjoying the indoor pool or the outdoor facilities, we never ran out of things to keep us entertained. Highly recommend. Hide
