With enviable views over the River Torridge which flows directly past out towards the Taw Estuary at Instow and out into the Atlantic.
Spending time outdoors in North Devon is a major pastime for locals and holidaymakers alike but if you don’t fancy venturing out you can enjoy the gorgeous private woodland which takes you alongside the riverbank or simply sit outside with a drink in hand enjoying the view. Bideford is the second largest town in North Devon with plenty to see and do with a lovely riverfront and port, which was once Britain’s third largest. Beaches, such as Westward Ho! and Instow are firm favourites locally and are less than 4 miles away and the South West Coastal Path is a must for keen walkers & runners as is the popular Tarka Trail, which stretches for 180 miles and can be accessed via the same side of the river. It provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line by foot or bicycle, allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and river views and enjoy various treats along the way through Instow, Fremington Quay, and onto Barnstaple, North Devon’s historical regional centre.
Swimming, surfing, canoeing and entertainment for all the family plus fishing are all close by and the for a day with a difference why not take a trip across to Lundy Island? With regular trips from Bideford, you can enjoy the home to England’s first statutory Marine Nature Reserve, due to its unique flora and fauna. Measuring just 3 miles by ¾ mile, this entire island has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Westward Ho!, the nearest seaside village offers an array of seaside amenities including some fascinating curiosity shops and a range of restaurants and cafés. Beach 4 miles.

Lovely apartment, situated in a great position overlooking the river and the tarka trail where you can watch birds, butterflies etc. The owners were kind enough to allow our cat to tag along which was a bonus for us. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
