The farm is situated on 100 acres which runs up to the spectacular South West Coastal Path, which is easy walking distance from the cottage with breath taking views.
You can walk to the local pub (The Blue Ball Inn) which is 4 miles along the 'Jagged Path', or onto Lynmouth and Lynton which is another mile further on.
