Old Skittle Alley
Old Skittle Alley is set within a traditional community village located just over 9 miles from the regional centre town of Barnstaple and just another 4 miles or so to the nearest beach. The detached cottage offers comfortable and modern accommodation internally with traditional external character.
Downstairs you will find a spacious living/dining room with Smart TV, a separate toilet and a long galley-style kitchen where the skittle alley used to be. All the expected modern appliances are provided and even a set of small skittles for the younger members of the group to enjoy. Upstairs are the two double bedrooms and a bright and airy bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside you will find an allocated parking space and a small patio and decked garden with table and chairs so you can enjoy an al-fresco meal or an evening drink.
Located near the county’s two National Parks: Exmoor, 17 miles to the north and Dartmoor, 20 miles to the south. The location is just over 9 miles from the regional capital town of Barnstaple with its many cafés and restaurants, Queens Theatre, multi-screen cinema, leisure centre with swimming pool, a purpose-built tennis centre with indoor and outdoor courts and an indoor trampoline centre. While just 31 miles to the south is the historic city of Exeter. North Devon is famed for its fantastic natural attractions such as Exmoor National Park with its magical night skies in Europe’s first ’Dark Sky Reserve’, the many rugged coastal towns and quaint villages such as Lynton & Lynmouth, Ilfracombe and the world-famous Clovelly Village, all with awe-inspiring scenery.
If stunning beaches are your thing, then the region will leave you spoilt for choice with Saunton, Woolacombe, Croyde and Westward Ho! The fantastic Southwest Coastal Path runs through the region’s rugged coastline and is perfect for walkers and view seekers offering 90 miles of stunning walks.
The popular Tarka Trail provides the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line on foot or by bicycle, allowing you to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and river scenery which will take you through places like Fremington & Yelland Quays and Yarde with their excellent cafés, Instow with its estuary beach and view towards the lovely fishing village of Appledore through to Bideford, Barnstaple and beyond.
