A little beyond is Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway. The property is within around 15 minutes' drive from the North Devon coast at Instow and Westward Ho!, whilst a little further afield are the sandy surfing beaches of Croyde, Puttsbrough, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands (which also boasts a championship golf course), although there are courses nearer, including the oldest course in England at Westward Ho!

Continue to the outskirts of Newton Tracey, and just prior to the village, at the minor cross roads, bear right signed 'Lovacott and Horwood'.
