We have visited Bartridge Farm again and again as it is the perfect location and has everything you need for a relaxing, but active family holiday. It is set in a beautiful location with a hot tub looking over a stunning valley. The pool is fantastic and is available whenever you want to use it. On arrival the owners have taken the trouble to unpack the online grocery shopping (including chilling the wine!) and lit the woodburner so from the moment you arrive, you can relax into the holiday. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, offering plenty of advice on beaches, walks and restaurants, however they are not in any way obtrusive. The location is stunning and is within easy reach (driving) of Barnstaple, beaches, lovely walks and we have even visited south devon on day trips - so overall a great base for exploring the whole region. The indoor swimming pool also means when the weather is bad it is easy to entertain the children. We have raved about this place to all our friends. A fantastic holiday all
