Lower Hearson Farm, Self Catering Farm Holiday Cottages, North Devon

Our nearest beaches are Saunton Sands, Northam Burrows, Putsborough and Croyde Bay with Woolacombe not much further beyond. Saunton is ideal for novice surfers with a beach shop, Cafe and large car park. With 3 miles of golden sand it is perfect to wander and forget the stresses of everyday life. Behind the beach is Braunton Burrows Nature Reserve, a world recognised site of special scientific interest (SSI).

Croyde & Putsborough are smaller family beaches with very pretty villages that are well worth a visit, with many thatched cottages and a teashop in Croyde that does great cream teas. The Thatch Inn serves good food and beer.

Surfboards and wetsuits can be hired in Croyde and Braunton (on the main road to Saunton Sands) and usually in Saunton Sands carpark as well.
