Standing on the banks of the River Torridge, this is the perfect place for a group of friends or family to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Mesmerising views alter with the rise and fall of the river's tide and there is always something to see such as herons and egrets. If you're feeling adventurous and are confident, take to the river on a canoe or kayak (available, along with life jackets, to rent) – there's direct access to the water from the garden. Meanwhile, the towns of Bideford and Torrington are a short drive away and there's easy access to the Tarka Trail for country walks and cycling.
