Perfect for families and smaller parties holidaying together, these properties enjoy a wonderful range of facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool and hot tub, a gym, a nine hole pitch and putt course, a snooker room, children's games room and, at extra charge, a sauna and solarium. The 10 acres of grounds provide plenty of space for relaxation as well as an excellent 1½ acre coarse fishing lake, and there is also a restaurant and licensed bar.
If visitors can tear themselves away from the delights of Moorhead Farm, the surrounding area offers a wealth of attractions. Nearby, twelve miles of coastal paths around Hartland Point (325 ft) afford wonderful views of stunning sunsets and Atlantic rollers crashing into the cliffs, and Hartland Quay boasts a fine beach and clifftop paths to explore. Boat trips to Lundy Island depart from the harbour at Bideford (8 miles), a thriving market town also home to Atlantic Village, a glazed mall of over 35 stores. And no Devon holiday would be complete without a trip to Clovelly, a gloriously picturesque village of colourful old cottages, where donkeys and sledges are the only means of transport on narrow, cobbled streets winding down to its tiny, ancient harbour.
Also within easy reach are Bude's famous surfing sands, Westward Ho! and Barnstaple, from where visitors can take a Tarka Line train to the lovely cathedral city of Exeter, or pick up a bicyle from the station and pedal the Tarka Trail. Further afield to the north are the fabulous beaches at Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay (another favourite with surfers) and Woolacombe Bay's legendary mile of golden sands. Great days out can be enjoyed at the Eden Project (1½ hours' drive) and in the outstanding natural beauty of the Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. The Dartington Glass factory at Great Torrington is well worth a visit and the nearby Big Sheep and the Milky Way Adventure Park are always popular with children.
Riding, golf and fishing are all available locally and for the sailing enthusiast, Tamar Lakes provide a wonderful setting. Local stores/P.O. and a pub serving food are found 1 mile away in the friendly village of Woolsery (or Woolfardisworthy West, to give it its proper 'grown up' name).
