Can’t say we blame … we all love a comfy bed when we’re away from home 💤 Which is just what we’ve got at the Alley 😉

📍 Location, location, location 📍

We're often asked where exactly we are in North Devon. This map shows the Alley (the red pin) in relation to beaches, towns, landmarks and just a handful of the places of interest we have nearby and which we can recommend 👍 The white spots show the approx. route of the Tarka Trail, great for cycling 🚲

We're a little inland, really handy because once you reach the A39 Atlantic Highway (about 20mins away), you can travel east or west and explore so much of the gorgeous North Devon coastline in all its rugged glory 🌊☀

Fancy spending some time exploring? Contact us for pricing, we've got some good deals going!

Best Wishes to all this Father’s Day 🍻

Here’s Mr Skittle Alley enjoying a pint 🍺 at nearby Instow and Grandpa Skittle Alley doing what he loves best, making stuff - here he was working on the Alley window seat 🪚🔨

Not that we’re in any way suggesting that only blokes can enjoy these pursuits 😆 …but we do have golf, fishing, cycling, walking and beer all local to us, perfect for the dads and grandpas in your life, and we’ve got some cracking deals on at the moment including summer holiday availability from just £650 for 7 nights 😁

Always park neat and tidy 😇😆

Drivers of poorly parked vehicles could be paying more than three times more than that of the neatly parked cars
