A conservation-minded zoo near Bratton Fleming, with red pandas, meerkats, bush dogs and plenty of rare smaller animals.
Exmoor Zoo is a conservation centre near Bratton Fleming in Exmoor, North Devon. It grew from Exmoor Bird Gardens, which opened on a former farm site in 1982, and today it specialises in smaller animals, with a good number of rare species on show.

A working-farm-turned-theme park near Abbotsham with sheep racing, a roller coaster and a huge indoor play zone.
The BIG Sheep is a farm park and theme park in Abbotsham, North Devon, built from the old buildings of a family farm. It is best known for its live shows, including the World-Famous Sheep Race, the Duck Trials and the Sheep Show.
Tip: Pre-book tickets online, as the park gets very busy in school holidays and term time, and booking ahead is cheaper than paying at the door.
Sat nav: EX39 5RY
A family adventure park near Bideford where all rides are included and there's plenty to do indoors in any weather.
The Milky Way is a family-run adventure park on a former dairy farm near Bideford. It has more than 110,000 sq ft of indoor attractions as well as acres of outdoor space, so a day here works whatever the weather.

A Regency house, a famous carriage collection and wide estate walks near Barnstaple in north Devon.
Arlington Court is a neoclassical country house, built in the 1820s and set in a picturesque garden. Inside, you can see the Chichester family's antique furniture and an eclectic collection of family memorabilia. The National Trust Carriage Museum on site holds an impressive collection of horse-drawn vehicles.
Tip: Dogs on leads can go in the garden, wider estate and Carriage Museum, but not the main house or tea-room. Follow the brown signs, not sat nav, as unmarked lanes are dead ends.
Sat nav: TA24 6SL
A hilltop Somerset castle and country house with subtropical gardens, parkland and a watermill to explore.
Dunster Castle stands on a steep hill called the Tor above the village of Dunster, and has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period. Today it is a Grade I listed country house run by the National Trust, with dramatic views and subtropical gardens around it.
Tip: The car park is small and its gates lock at 6pm, so arrive early. In poor weather you may be asked to use Dunster Steep village car park instead.
Sat nav: EX39 6DT
A family-owned former abbey with Jekyll-influenced gardens, a wild valley walk to the Atlantic cove and Malory Towers fame.
Hartland Abbey was founded in the 12th century and is still the home of the Stucley family. You can wander through the house at your own pace, taking in rooms from Medieval to Victorian times, with paintings, furniture and Chinese porcelain collected over generations. Exhibitions cover filming on the estate and the Stonehenge pioneer William Stukeley.
Tip: Hartland Quay is only a mile away, so it pairs well with a visit; the tea room needs a valid garden entry ticket.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

44 reviews from guests who stayed at Beach Cove Coastal Retreat
Cozy but a bit small lodge. I think smaller furnitures would fit better.
Just adore this little place. Our second visit and would definitely return again. Its a little slice of heaven. Love the hot tub overlooking the beach listening to the sound of the waves and watching and listening to everyone having fun.
Great thank you , accommodation had everything we needed , and a hot tub which was used daily
Could not fault a thing apart from not enough hangers
Look forward to next year
Didn't enjoy holiday the only best thing was the hot tub
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you for an amazing break away. We were planning to explore Devon from here as never been before but because of the incredible view from the Cabin and the fantastic beach below we nearly never left the area!This is a must stay! Fantastic non touristy little village with a local pub a short walk away.The cabin was fantastic clean and had everything we needed including great shower pressure. Can't fault the place!I am only giving a 4 star review as we booked a hot tub but unfortunately it was broken we were advised by hoseasons a week before and they gave a small discount however It didn't ruin the break it just would have been the cherry on the top. Will be back to actually explore the area! And thank you so much!
I really liked the look of the beach huts but hot tub ones unavailable, so I ended up booking the pad apartment. First off looked OK, but then looking round, it was one of the worst places I have stayed in.Paint on the walls in living room and the bedroom peeling away, lack of plug sockets in living room by sofa where you would sit, sofa has signs of wear and tear, an old door dumped on flower bed by outside seating area, underneath of boiler exposed, dishwasher broken, mattress collapsed so could feel every spring and never seen stains like it, floor dirty. Complaint and pictures sent off awaiting a response but would avoid at all costs!
Couch was uncomfortable as it was dralon and slippy .Bed was nice but a bit cramped and you couldn't leave the windows open so got hot. Shower was slso cramped and had tiles loose inside with some black mold behind the sink .
Everything is starting to look a bit sad.Shame, a few years ago, it felt luxurious, but there seems to be less here each year.It doesn't match up to the facilities offered at other venues for a similar price.Sadly, now, its quite overpriced for what they offer.
Excellent, lovely sea views
Great staff
We loved the lodge and the hot tub, my wife would consider staying again which says a lot as she can e difficult to please.
Great holiday lovely view and location lodge really comfortable with everything you needed. Nice and quiet at night and very private
However, there were a few niggles with the apartment . - there were only 3 coat hangers for 2 people for a 7 night stay- the sofa and the 2 chairs in the living room are very uncomfortable - the mattress was very stained, although it did have a mattress protector on it- the wicker stool at the side of the bath in the bedroom was very dusty- although you have allocated parking space, it is very tight to get in and out at the top of a steep ramp. We were advised to be careful as other cars had been damaged on exiting- they only supplied 1 toilet roll for 2 people for a day stay- the blinds in the living room and bedroom have seen better days and could do with replacing. Having said all of the above, the views and location of the apartment outway the issues, and would definitely stay again.
Everything included for a great break with all mod cons and outside space to sit and watch a fabulous sunset .
Lovely little hut. Very clean. There were some wear and tear starting to show but we were not bothered by that. We didnt watch tv in the end as we were out so much but my husband put it on the first night and it was pretty bad signal so you couldnt watch anything. Internet connection good though.
Stunning relaxing weekend away.
Bathroom looking tired
The place was lovely, a great view and the bed was so comfy. Only thing Id say is the floors were still dirty, it wasnt super visible but if you wiped the floor after spilling something it would come up muddy, and if you wore white socks you could notice it.
Our accommodation was wonderful, comfortable and well equipped, comfy bed with adjoining shower room and hot tub too.
We've now stayed twice in this lovely little lodge. The location overlooking the beach is great where steps lead to the South-west Coastal Path to Ilfracombe. Alternatively Ilfracombe was a 25 minute walk along the slightly less hilly road.We've absolutely no complaints about the lodge as we are happy to forgo the luxuries that a more expensive and updated lodge would have and will probably be back again.
we loved the coffee table turning into a dining table once we found it.Although small it had everything we needed in the accommodation. Hiring the robes for the hot tub was very simple and good quality.
Would recommend to others.The loft apartment had great views and the apartment was fantastic.
We stayed in the Driftwood Premier Seaview lodge and it was great. We overlooked the bay and had a hot tub, which was amazing in the evening with the sun setting. The staff were very helpful and there is a good pub within walking distance. We will definitely return!

Just fabulous! Great value for money. Beautiful place
Just back from a lovely week in the so called dreaded no 1 and have to say what a great improvement no more frosting on the entrance doors and a new fence with chairs positioned to look out over the sea inside was a fantastic view even treated to seeing a seal bobbing about in the sea and a horse and rider riding the beach at sunset, yes the mirror still has water damage and the drawer bottom is worn but thats nothing at all to think about. The staff on site were helpful and friendly cant fault them or the location just sit in the hot tub and relax perfect!
site is popular with dog lovers, more lodges are now available for pets. good kitchen facilities, fridge, cooker, microwave, toaster and kettle.
Our holiday home had a fantastic view from deck hot tub was great inside was super clean yes a few places you could say tired in need of a freshen up but did not spoil the place staff fantastic great time had and going back soon
Thanks for a great time
Lovely holiday in a fantastic setting.
Lovely accommodation. A very peaceful relaxing week’s holiday. Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Excellent location. Very friendly staff. Well equipped and very clean.
Very small accommodation, looks bigger on the pictures also if u have dogs be aware terrace is not secure so we had to block it off with what we could which was a pain ,, apart from that lovely and quiet nice dog friendly beach on your door step , views are amazing , nice little village x
Spent 3 days in the beach cove Seaview cabin and found it was beautiful views across the bay. Location was laid back, peaceful retreat. Great place for a chill out. My wife and I can't wait to get back there.
Absolutely amazing place to stay lovely views lovely scenery will definitely be booking again
Perfect small compact everything you need
the hot tub was a added bonus amazing views great location
Lovely setting with sea views directly above the beach. Comfortable large bed in superior sea view room. Good shower and kitchen facilities. Hot tub was great and checked daily. Close to local facilities.
Improvements: WiFi patchy and TV tuning settings locked with very few channels available on free view.
Overall we loved it and will be back!
A pleasant quiet site. Easy access to the beach
Excellent location compact cabin but had everything needed great sea views and bonus of a hot tub will definitely be returning slept well very relaxing hearing only the waves lapping
Been to Beach Cove five times, love it! Great location and comfortable accommodation.
We were very pleased with the accommodation. Staff on site extremely welcoming and helpful
We had a brilliant time! It was in a perfect location with the pub basically next door. It was a very short stroll down to the closest beach and we could see the sea from the hot tub. It was approximately 1.5 miles into the centre of Ilfracombe, so that was very convenient for a more vibrant day out too. Adorable thatched roof pub on the way to Ilfracombe there too! ? some fab restaurants/takeaways nearby. Shoutout to Hele’s Kitchen who gave us a free cake!
