Surrounded by rolling countryside and with sweeping views across the Taw Valley, the house offers a true taste of rural Devon life - quiet, scenic, and effortlessly relaxing. Set just half a mile from the heart of the village, the property is close enough to stroll to The Chichester Arms, a friendly local pub known for its hearty food and Devon ales.

It’s a perfect daily walk, right on your doorstep. From this peaceful base, guests can easily reach the golden beaches of Saunton Sands, Croyde, and Westward Ho!, explore Exmoor National Park, or cycle the popular Tarka Trail.
