Arrive by road on A399 and turn off and down single track road to this retreat.
(It would just be possible to take train to Barnstaple and then bus which is not very frequent, to the cross roads at to top of our lane. But we think that you really need a car to enjoy all the interest and amenities around).
Nearest Town(s) Bratton Fleming and Challacombe
