The Barnstaple area
Barnstaple is the commercial centre of the region, combining sophisticated shopping with the bustling atmosphere of markets and speciality shops. The modern Green Lanes Shopping Centre compliments the traditional Pannier and Craft Markets held since 1855 in the Pannier Market Hall.
This attractive market town is the oldest and largest town in North Devon, nestling in the Taw valley on the other side of the estuary which the Saxons first settled in Barnstaple (Barum) over 1000 years ago.
The Long Bridge, crossing the tidal River Taw was thought to have been built in the 12th and 13th centuries and in Litchdon Street are located the Penrose Almshouses built in the early 17th century.

This was the second time we stayed at Combrew Farm Cottages, the reason we came back being it was so good the first time...and we certainly weren't disappointed! The accommodation was comfortable and spacious enough for four adults and a two year-old (we stayed in Tuckers Retreat - one of the two bedroom cottages), with all the amenities and facilities you need, just like home. Spotlessly clean too! The swimming pool with built in jacuzzi and the sauna are perfect for relaxation and we love the fact that the pool temperature is kept at 36 degrees. Location wise it's perfect for exploring the North Devon coast with plenty of things to do and see and a lot of good places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be returning! |

A warm and cosy winter retreat, beautifully furnished, lovely bathrooms, and a gorgeous warm pool which our 2-year old adored! Fabulous playground, rabbits and chickens to keep the little ones entertained. Nearby Fremington Quay serves the best cream teas ever! Highly recommended. |

have just returned from a short break in Tuckers retreat, and loved it. My 3 yr old and my husband and i did not want to leave. The accomodation was excellent and very clean. The facilities were great; my son particularly liked the indoor pool and play area. The location is relaxing but still in easy reach of amenities, and a short drive to a beach. We will defo be returning again. |
