The West Country / Devon region

Quarry House is perfectly located to explore the beautiful & unspoilt North Devon area. The house itself backs onto the South West Coastal path, where you can walk along the cliffs to quiet villages with quaint inns, or brave the steeply sloping paths to discover beaches you’ll have all to yourself. At the end of the road, just a 5 min walk, is the spectacular privately owned Tunnels Beach with its original Victorian tidal bathing pool, chic bar & restaurant & quirky tiki shack - perfect for evening cocktails.

The 3 miles of golden sand & clear waters of Woolacombe Bay are a 10 min drive. A surfers dream, the waves are also great for beginners. Learn to surf with Nick Thorn. Saunton Sands Golf Club has one (if not the) best links course in the country. There is also a good course, with some wonderful sea views, in Ilfracombe. For adventurous guests you can try your hand at Coasterring.

The Ilfracombe area

Ilfracombe is a pretty Victorian harbour town. The high street has many independent shops, and offers much locally produced food – a great butcher, local bakers, and greengrocer & health food shop/deli. The shops are a 10 min walk away. The harbour, a 15 min walk, is postcard pretty & boasts Damien Hirst’s restaurant no 11 The Quay, the artist lives locally. Eat delicious fresh local fish whilst surrounded by museum quality art. Sightseeing boats leave the harbour regularly & enable you to explore the coastline from the sea.

If you wish to use public transport to get to Quarry House the nearest train station is Barnstaple (c.20min drive away). This is a branch line from Exeter St Davids. Alternatively you could get a mainline train to Tiverton Parkway (c.45mins drive) & get a taxi from here. If there are a few of you the price is OK & it’s a bit quicker.
