The Hide is a tranquil getaway, tucked into the corner of Lemons Farm, our 15th Century thatched farmhouse. Originally a piggery, the cob and stone building has been converted into a little cottage with a living area, kitchenette, bathroom and mezzanine sleeping area. Fall asleep under the stars and wake to the sound of birdsong. Lemons Farm is located in Atherington, a lovely village with a church, tennis court and park. Some great pubs are nearby as are the gorgeous North Devon beaches.

We live in Devon with our three daughters, dogs, cats and guinea pigs. In 2016 we bought a lovely old thatched farmhouse which we are happily and slowly bringing back to its former glory. We love long country walks and pubs, and spending time on our beautiful local beaches. The Hide is self contained so it remains very private, though it is attached to our farmhouse and we are often around and about in the garden if the sun is shining. Feel free to knock on our door whenever you need anything.

We are just 25 minutes from North Devon's spectacular Atlantic coastline. Westward Ho!, Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and Croyde Bay are our closest beaches and we try to get there as soon as the sun comes out. We also love walking and cycling on the Tarka Trail which goes along the river estuary. We are 15 minutes' drive from the market town of South Molton, well worth a visit for its pannier market and a Devonshire cream tea. From nearby Bideford or Ilfracombe you can take the ferry to Lundy Island's spectacular nature reserve. Family attractions include The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Dartington Crystal, RHS Rosemoor Gardens and the lovely seaside towns of Clovelly and Lynmouth, which are all under an hour's drive. If you love walking, we are not far from Exmoor, but there are some very picturesque spots to explore even closer to home, like Northam Burrows and the Taw River. The South West coast path is also on our doorstep. Our nearest station is Umberleigh (2 mins drive), which is on the line from Exeter to Barnstaple, a relaxing train ride through the pretty Taw River valley. We are also a 45 minute taxi ride from Tiverton Parkway, which has a fast service to London.
