Ash Cottage is within three miles of the dramatic and beautiful coast around Hartland and Clovelly. A small pebble beach at the close-by historic harbour of Bucks Mills reveals rock pools to explore at low tide; you might even spot dolphins. A short drive north to Westward Ho! and south into Cornwall to Sandymouth and Bude provides ample sandy beaches for safe swimming, surfing and bodyboarding. Also within easy reach is Braunton Burrows and Saunton Sands together with the many attractions of Croyde and Woolacombe. Picturesque fishing villages include Appledore and Instow. Golf, fishing and cycling (the Tarka Trail) are available nearby with the Tamar Lakes (eight miles) providing additional water activities. For children the attractions of the Milky Way and The Big Sheep are within a 15 minute drive. For shopping visit the ancient pannier market in Barnstaple or try the outlet centre - Atlantic Village - on the outskirts of Bideford. A range of supermarkets are within a 15 min drive.
