A note from the site themselves...

I am a North Devonian and have lived in the area all my life. I was originally a farmer and grower of produce having a real passion for the local area and what it has to offer. I have owned the site for many years now, and it gives me a great deal of satisfaction greeting guests and helping them to enjoy and appreciate this lovely coastal area.

With its nearby local attractions, such as the adjacent village of Braunton and the local market town of Barnstaple being just a stone's throw away, these are amongst numerous places of interest in the area. I feel it is a privilege to be able to build relationships with returning and new customers, and is very rewarding to me and my family which makes it so worthwhile.
