An extensively refurbished and hugely successful holiday letting business with 5 bedroom period farmhouse in a tranquil location with outstanding views, close to the north Devon coast
Introduction - As a place to live and to holiday in Robin Hill Farm offers the best of all worlds. Set amongst acres of farmland, there are no near neighbours and the views and peace and quiet are second to none, yet supermarkets and shopping centres are only two miles away, the coast and beach 3 miles away. Over the past three years the current owners have transformed the holiday letting businesses, refurbishing the interiors of all the cottages whilst making significant improvements to the grounds. A new website, hugely positive Tripadvisor reviews and a professional marketing campaign have ensured that even with the recent challenging economic climate the level of bookings have increased. The business is being sold with a comprehensive introduction and handover from the current owners.
Situation - Being in the centre of N Devon and very close to the coast, Robin Hill Farm is ideally located for holidaymakers. The beach at Westward Ho! and the SW Coast Path can be reached in less than 15 minutes, whilst most of Devon’s top visitor attractions are close by.

The nearby Tarka Trail offers over 30 miles of flat cycling, whilst the UK’s oldest Golf Club Royal North Devon is on the doorstep, with a further two championship courses available at nearby Saunton Sands Golf Club. For the keen tennis player, The Atlantic Racquets Centre is two miles away.
