David Michael

We were a part of 8 over 3 generations, including 4 teenagers. The house was perfect as there was plenty of space to spread out. The games room was ideal and we made full use of the badminton set, that we brought, on the lawn Bideford is not particularly a holiday town, which was not a problem for us and was only a few minutes drive from some beachRead morees and the Tarka Trail which we cycled a number of times. The only downside, which is obvious from the photos, is the steep hill up to the house. Hide
