    “A wonderful quiet and private property on the outskirts of Bideford.”

    Easy and immediate access to the large enclosed garden was a bonus for our dog.The Hot Tub was excellent and we had everything we needed for a relaxed holiday. Close proximity to many lovely beaches and the Tarka Trail.
