Nearby

Dartmoor is a 20-minute drive away and the beaches of Bude and Widemouth are a 35–40-minute drive in the opposite direction. You can be standing on a Dartmoor Tor in the morning, swimming in the Atlantic in the afternoon, enjoying dinner in a tucked-away country pub in the evening, and finishing the day sitting gazing into your campfire on site. The area is great for cycling with the nearby Tarka Trail and the Granite Way for off road, and any number of quiet country lanes. If you fancy honing your Robin Hood skills, there’s an archery centre just down the road: Arms of Old (01409 231171). Or Dragon Archery (08000 372466), further afield, has exciting courses – come and have a go at the Agincourt course if you and your bow are up to it.

Food & Drink

Three pubs are within walking distance – the Golden Inn in Highampton (01409 231200) - which does not serve food. The Half Moon at Sheepwash (01409 231376) and Black River Inn in Black Torrington (01409 231888) which has fantastic tapas. We are also in hiking distance of the Gotland Gin distillery which offer tours and tastings. There are also plenty of other pubs and restaurants within easy driving distance.
