Experience the rugged landscape with invigorating treks along the South West Coast Path, bracing walks through quaint villages and steaming hot chocolates in cosy cafes. North Devon in winter has a magic of its own, allowing you to blend the beauty of the season with a sense of calm and connection.

Each dish is designed to provide a true taste of North Devon’s rich culinary heritage.

What a fabulous break in a wonderful hotel.

“We arranged a late booking for a New Years Eve break, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff are so friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable but the highlight in the room was the comfortable bed and amazing pillows and cushions. The food was absolutely delightful, local produce well cooked and served piping hot even on NYE when the hotel catered for more guests. We would definitely recommend a stay here and will be back again ourselves. Thanks to all who made our break so enjoyable.” Carol P. January 2024

A warm, relaxed and well run hotel

“We booked a 2-night New Year’s Eve break with food included and it couldn’t have been better. Michael the owner was lovely and very welcoming. There’s a relaxed atmosphere but also a bit of a buzz which was great. Our room was nicely decorated and the bed comfy. The communal areas are really well presented and inviting. The food is very tasty and locally sourced. A really good selection to choose from and we definitely didn’t go hungry!! The whole team were brilliant, everything went smoothly and was well organised. […] A big thank you to all the team.” AimesP. January 2023
