The Neighborhood:
Westward Ho! is a pretty village on Devon's Torridge-Taw Estuary, boasting beautiful beaches and idyllic countryside. Restaurants and fish & chip shops line the waterfront of the beach while down the coast you can uncover quieter sand dunes, salt marshes and meet the wild ponies.

The beach is just a ten minute walk so you won't need to worry about parking! It offers a flat and wide expanse of sand when the tide is out, which makes a great place for a game of football or rounders. Lifeguarded all year round, the beach is also ideal for families and small children. You'll also often see surfers braving the waves - beginners can give it a go by booking a lesson at North Devon Surf School. Another excellent surfing spot, Saunton Sands, is just 20 miles away and well worth a visit!

Once the tide draws in, you can spend time on the promenade playing in the amusements or gazing over the fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean while savouring an ice cream or two! A walk along the coast to the beach will bring you to Northam Burrows, a Site of Special Scientific Interest with a salt marsh, sand dunes and grasslands. Here you will also find a handful of friendly ponies and grazing sheep to go say hello to!

The infamous South West Coast Path runs through the town, and there's an easy route that follows an old railway track and around the foot of the cliffs. You can continue south along the coast and follow a challenging 12-mile walk to Clovelly, a must-visit for anyone in North Devon. Known for its steep cobbled street, Clovelly is a true treasure trove of quirky shops, museums and cafes. For cyclists, the popular Tarka Trail runs through nearby Bideford and is a fantastic way to explore the gorgeous countryside.

Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Devon, we would advise bringing a car with you. That said however, Westward Ho! beach is conveniently located just a 10 minute walk away, so you won't need to worry about parking! The closest train station to the property is Barnstaple, which is a 20 minute drive. Regular trains run from here to Exeter St Davids, where you can change and pick up the fast train direct to London.

Other Things to Note:
There is space for 3 cars to fit comfortably on the private driveway outside the property.

Dogs are welcome with a fee of £20/dog (max 2). It is on the condition they are not allowed on the soft furnishings or in the bedrooms.

Guests should be aware that the gardener is scheduled to come every 2 weeks which may coincide with your stay. They will not need to access the interior and can access the garden via the side gate.
