Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in North Molton

In the green hills of North Devon lies the village of North Molton, bordered by the beautiful county of Somerset. Devon’s second largest parish, North Molton, offers picturesque views from all angles and makes for a perfect escape to the countryside for families and couples looking for a relaxing self-catering holiday with gentle activity. Sip a delicious pint at the Grove Inn or Poltimore Arms and soak in the atmosphere, of course not forgetting to take a trip to the local shop, which sells homemade pasties and fresh food from local farms. For the kids – or for fun-loving adults! – there is the Rock and Rapid Adventure Centre, offering both indoor rock climbing and other exciting outdoor fun. Go for a walk around Bamfylde Clump on a sunny day, and sit between the beech trees while looking down onto the village, admiring the surrounding nature of Exmoor and the stretching golden coast of North Devon.
