The panelled bathroom includes a bath with a tap fixed showerhead. W/C, and hand basin. Guest access We have ample off road parking. The lanes are narrow and winding so take it slowly and let your passenger take in the stunning scenery through gateways and gaps in trees. Drivers must watch out for cows at milking, tractors in all seasons and pedestrians. Please remember to slow down for horse riders as you may be passing your host! Crediton is our local town, just under 6 miles away. It’s station and has regular quick services to Exeter for city sights and shopping, or Barnstaple and Okehampton for North Devon or Dartmoor. We are lucky to be only a couple miles from Morchard Road railway station which provides hourly links to Exeter and Barnstaple. There is a local village bus which will stop at our gate ((369), connecting you nicely to The Lamb in Sandford, other pretty villages, more great walks, and Crediton. Stagecoach run more direct and frequent services from the main road enabling you to explore North Devon, Crediton and Exeter. We find map based search engines excellent.
