The perfect weekend away!
We recommend a wide range of activities available in the local North Devon area. Including award winning family theme parks, outdoor attractions and more.
Our award winning luxury cabins on the coast are only 1.25 miles from the sea. There are literally hundreds of miles of coastal paths to explore right on your doorstep, not to mention that North Devon has a selection of the best beaches in the country.
Here’s some ideas of things to do in the area, both on site and nearby.

Rest those tired feet and let the 26 spa jets massage away your aches and pains. Sit in the ‘Captain’s Seat’ and succumb to the exclusive 15 point ultrablast master massage jet. Add to the mix some stunning views towards the Atlantic and a glass of cold bubbly and you’ll be in holiday heaven.
