Bournebridge nestles in a tranquil valley next to a nature reserve and our six and a half acres offer peace and quiet, yet we are within easy reach of all that Devon has to offer.
Situated well back from a quiet lane, we offer the ideal spot for a peaceful and relaxing break or holiday.
After a day exploring Devon or Exmoor in whatever way you choose, you can come back to the pleasant open country-side making the most of the games paddock, relaxing alongside the pond or the stream or just meandering through the woodland.
Children will love the space and freedom. We have an adventure playground, tree houses and a wood to explore. We even have a rope swing across the stream where the adventurous can have fun. Just across the stream there is direct access to a Devon Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, noted for it's Culmgrassland and Frittilary Butterlies and wild orchidsThe Cottages - The holiday cottages are 200 years old former farm buildings. They border a very pretty central courtyard garden where, if you feel like a little exercise you can try your hand at croquet.
All the self-catering cottages are maintained and prepared by ourselves and have many little 'personal touches' giving them a real home from home feel.

About the area:- Rurally located but not isolated, we are only 30 minutes from Junction 27 of the M5 and close to the railway stations of Tiverton and Egggesford. The bustling market town of South Molton is just 15 minutes away and offers a range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, teashops etc. It is the "antique centre" for North Devon and you can browse for many happy hours searching for that special item.
The villages of Witheridge and Chulmleigh, approximately 4 miles away have village stores, post offices and newsagents. Whilst further afield, the larger towns of Barnstaple, Tiverton and the City of Exeter are easily accessible. Locally, pubs, restaurants and cafes are numerous and offer a wide range of Devon fare at surprisingly reasonable prices.
