You’ll be ideally positioned to explore the best of what the surrounding countryside has to offer. The magical woodland around the resort is the perfect place for a scenic ramble, while the many hiking and cycling trails of North Devon are on your doorstep, with parts of the 630-mile South West Coast Path passing nearby.

Sophisticated sporty types won’t have to look far - the resort has no fewer than seven all-weather tennis courts, a croquet lawn, a five-aside football pitch, and informal games like foot-golf and disc-golf. And if you’re in the mood for sightseeing, the delightful towns of Barnstaple and South Molton are a short drive away, and you’ll be 40 minutes from the beach at Westward Ho.
