Have you been to Barnstaple?

North Devon’s capital Barnstaple is often overlooked. A place to drive through on your way to the stunning golden coast. But it has a lot of hidden gems, you just need to know where to look!

My top tip has to be Butcher’s Row. As the name suggests it was once a terrace of butchers shops, but it’s now packed with some of the regions finest food outlets.

Bordering the Panier Market (which dates back to the 1800s) you’ll find the best local cheese in @southwestcheese and the finest beers and spirits @thecraftybeershop (who also do fab cocktails and sharing platters!)

If you need a pit stop then book into @eatatblock for the yummiest asian inspired food. Or if you fancy a coffee and sandwich try @artisarni. Need something sweet, head to @thecupcakerybarnstaple. There’s something for everyone!
Another tip – if the kids needs to burn off all that sugar then head to Rock Park. A pretty park by the River Taw. Paige is a big fan of the zip wire!
Our cabins are just a 30 min drive from Barnstaple and the perfect base to explore both North Devon and North Cornwall.
