The village of High Bickington offers a Post Office, two charming pubs where you can relax over a meal or a drink, and a local golf course for those who enjoy a round of golf in the countryside.



Nearby quaint villages are brimming with independent shops, cozy inns, and farm shops offering local delicacies.

Good accommodation - in the middle of nowhere

All good with every need catered for.Bedrooms good size and great to have ensuite for each.All necessary equipment in the kitchen but disappointing to realise no wifi available and in this day and age it seems essential.We also didnt realise it was quite so far from the village - good 30 mins walk along main roads with no pavements. Also with the current tick problem it wasnt great for walks with the dog - until we discovered the Community fields and woods on our last day.
