    “Lovely spacious cottage with everything you need.”

    Parking is tight and awkward due to limited space, large safe enclosed well presented garden. Would definitely book again. Welcome pack would of been nice to explain heating controls, recycling and rubbish day/collection points, etc

Just on the outskirts of Barnstaple, the quaint village of Bishops Tawton is perfectly placed for exploring all the region has to offer while being set back from the main visitor crowds.

This is a great base for exploring the many surfing beaches that surround Barnstaple Bay, and the many visitor attractions that are located along the fabulous coastline that extends westward to Clovelly and to Bude in Cornwall and beyond.
