About the home
This is a privately owned chalet, on the edge of Bideford Bay Holiday Park, with a stretch of grass in front, then nothing but steep wooded cliffs between the chalet and the sea. In season (easter - end october) the site has many facilities including a shop, indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, all weather sports court, reception, launderette, children's play area, adventure playground, crazy golf, and organized activities and entertainment. Passes are needed to use some of the facilities and for the entertainment program.
Ideal for 4 but expandable to 6 using sofa bed.
Out of season it is a nature lover's and walker's delight. The surrounding woodland is managed by the Woodland Trust and the Park itself has a David Bellamy Conservation Award. Site facilities are closed from November to late March and the site is very quiet. A shop and post office are available at Bucks Cross when the site shop is closed.

+ The accomodation was very well equiped, clean and in a great location in the park and in close reach of all the great places to visit in North Devon. The holiday park felt very warm, welcoming and great for families. The entertainment was good(we even had an outdoor music festival on the sunday, great fun for all) and the staff very friendly, helpful and full of energy. - The premises felt a bit compact with one hall for all activities(meals, children clubs, and evening entertainment) and would benefit from further development. |

We had a lovely family holiday with our two young children and a baby. Would recommend. Lynette was very easy to deal with. The chalet was as described, clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It had a great location on the site, secluded but near to the Manor house, children's play area and swimming pools. In a lovely part of Devon with lots to see and do. Westward Ho! beach was ideal for bodyboarding and safe for the children. The nearby Buck's Mill beach was ideal for rockpooling and Appledore was great for fish and chips, locally made icecream and watching the boats. The boys enjoyed the nearby Milky way theme park. Shopping was easy with an Asda and outlet village just down the road. We'd love to come again soon |

In a great location this is a chalet which is definitley value for money. It had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Very clean and comfortable. Being on a holiday park we had use of the Manor House facilities. Being vegetarian we found that the Manor House had a good selection of vegetarian options on the menu. The chalet is situated in an ideal location to use as a base to explore North Devon, close to Bideford and Barnstaple. We found that Barnstaple had a couple of great restaurants for vegetarians including an italian and a mexican place. The owner is very accomodating and very helpful. If we go North Devon again we will definitely be lloking to rent again. Thanks Lynette. |
