With the South West Coastal Path on your doorstep Southole Barns is an ideal retreat for nature lovers and walkers with pets welcome in both Clovelly and Smudgers Barns (see individual barns for details). To the south the path leads down to unspoilt Welcombe Mouth Beach, to the north the drama of the Hartland Peninsula unfolds before you... Here, high open moorland and ancient woodland give way to breathtaking seascapes, rugged coastline and coastal waterfalls tumbling from hanging valleys onto rocky shores. Yet, hop in the car and 25 minutes away are historic fishing villages, beach resorts and lots of entertainment for all the family including fantastic pubs (5 minute's drive away), restaurants and days out. The Eden Project and Plymouth are an hour and 15 away for days out, and boat trips to Lundy are a must. Padstow, Port Issac and Clovelly are all well under an hour away and theme parks such as The Big Sheep and Milky Way are less than half an hour away to keep the children happy too. Plenty to do, and plenty to not do if peace and relaxation are the order of the day.
