The picturesque village has a few restaurants and shops to enjoy too. Market town Bideford is 1.5 miles from here, with access via boat to Lundy and more choices for eating and drinking. Take a walk down the quayside to reach the town and park, which includes a small paddling pool and playground equipment. For fabulous family days out, visit The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 miles) or The BIG Sheep (3 miles).

Our second visit, no doubt you'll see us again. We had a lovely day at Hartland Abbey & another further afield at Lydford Gorge. Good weather made all the difference. We hired bikes & cycled to Instow on the Tarka trail. Good food & generous portions at the Instow Arms.

Tidal Reach is the perfect holiday home from home. It has everything you need for a great break and the position, overlooking the river at the back, is well placed for a supermarket and Bideford centre. It is well equipped, the beds are comfy and the owners are helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended.

Tidal Reach is a really lovely house. The conservatory makes it. Just to sit and watch the river is so peaceful. The house itself has everything you could need, rain or shine. We have stayed here many times and will again.

Exceptional accommodation in a lovely location near the tidal estuary of the river Torridge. We love the space that the house and the conservatory afford. The views are spectacular and the location is ideal to gain access to the local park, the town center and the Tarka Trail.
