Stowford Village is located close to Ilfracombe, Combe Martin, Barnstaple and Braunton, also offering quick road access to the glorious beaches at Woolacombe, Saunton and Croyde.

Nearby is the natural beauty of Exmoor National Park – wild, open moorland, deep river valleys, wooded gorges and the rugged appeal of Valley of the Rocks.
