The Neighborhood:
The house is located on a picturesque row of Victorian terrace houses. It's centrally located and a short walk from all the local amenities, but in a peaceful location. It's right opposite Rock Park, which is a beautiful park on the River Taw where you can enjoy walks, a kids' play park, park runs, yoga sessions and more. Cycle hire can be found at the train station if you'd like to set off on the Tarka trail! You are also conveniently located nearby to a handful of shops, a Sainsbury's supermarket and a large ASDA superstore.
Barnstaple itself is situated right on the beautiful River Taw and some of North Devon's best beaches. Saunton Sands is just 20 minutes away by car, whilst Croyde and Woolacombe are a little further. Saunton Sands is simply superb, with a huge expanse of beach and sparkling blue waters. It is excellent for surfing, bodyboarding and swimming with lifeguards on duty. There is a café and surf hire shop behind the beach. Croyde and Woolacombe are equally as lovely, and there are a handful of pubs, restaurants and shops in the area.
Westward Ho! Beach is just 15 minutes away by car, and provides a gorgeous day out on the beach. Again, this is lifeguarded all year round. Appledore is a historic fishing village just south of Westward Ho!. It is just 16 minutes away and is a lovely day out: wander through winding narrow streets and admire colourful houses! In summer, you can take the seasonal ferry over to the neighbouring Instow for a day trip. For those keen on boat trips, we would also recommend taking the boat to Lundy Island from Ilfracombe or Bideford. This is a fantastic day out spotting wildlife and enjoying the remote island.
The Tarka Trail is one of the gems of North Devon. The entirely traffic-free 32-mile cycle trail runs from Braunton to Meeth in North Devon. The flat and family-friendly trail travels through beautiful countryside, offering stunning views across the estuaries of the River Taw and Torridge with many picnic spots, cafes and pubs along the route. You will be able to hire bikes from Barnstaple or Braunton.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of North Devon, we recommend you bring a vehicle for your stay. There is a mix of free on street and paid parking nearby. The surrounding streets have lots of free parking, with the nearest being Victoria Road, which is less than a minute's walk away. The nearest paid car park, Portmarsh Lane, is a few minutes walk away and costs £3.50/day.
That said, there is a train station in Barnstaple with regular trains running to and from Exeter St Davids. There are hourly trains from Exeter St Davids to Cornwall, Bristol, Reading and London Paddington. The station is 5 minutes away by car or 10 minutes on foot. Taxis are available from the station, as well as cycle hire.
Other Things to Note:
The BBQ is available for use from April to October.
