Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away among the Devonshire hills, we find this cosy coach house. The open-plan dining area is perfect for enjoying family meals, but we particularly loved the wooden terrace, boasting stunning views of the countryside. Guests can also make use of the garden, which is shared with the old rectory next door. Take a walk down to the village of Berrynarbor for some local pub grub or spend the afternoon kayaking at the nearby Combe Martin beaches.
