Hello, We choose this area as most resorts where within easy reach, Beautiful place , Looks recently renovated, So peaceful idea for a relaxing break , We came for 2 weeks . From East Yorkshire it’s an area we don’t normally come and we shall come again . I would recommend to anyone, But generally you need a car .

A charming place to stay in a quiet location on the edge of the village. Handy for Sidmouth, Exmouth, Exeter & other hot spots. We recommend the Donkey Sanctuary where the cafe does a really good breakfast. Part of the attraction is exploring for places to eat. The Hare & Hounds, The Blue Ball Inn, Beckett's cafe, and Myca's Seafood & Grill are all very good. All in all, The Piglet is an excellent choice
