4 guests
-
2 bedrooms, 3 beds
2 bathrooms
Escape to the edge of Exmoor National Park and revel in a family-friendly stay just a stone's throw from the unspoiled moorlands, award-winning beaches and perfect peeling waves of North Devon. This well-appointed lodge brings an inviting open layout and a touch of style to this breathtaking countryside setting, making it ideal for families looking to spend quality time together. In addition to the comfortable seating area, a wrap-around balcony ensures ample space for four, whatever the weather decides. At the same time, the gently bubbling private hot tub is perfect for post-surf soaks. Finally, a fully equipped kitchen is convenient for self-sufficient stays, with the award-winning Coach House brasserie on hand for those evenings when you don't feel like cooking. Alternatively, for less formal fare, eating fish and chips off your lap as you look out over the sea is hard to top.
