At one
with nature
This is a tranquil spot where nature, wildlife and farmlife are on your doorstep. Watch the deer grazing across the valley, see red kites riding the thermals and watch lambs frolicking in the nearby fields. And when you can drag yourself away from the view, North Devon has plenty to offer...
