To the front of the bungalow there is an open lawned area with a circular picnic bench - a pleasant spot to sit out, looking across towards the hillside. This area is not enclosed. At the far end of the property, a gate leads into a separate enclosed garden area: a steeper, more private space fenced all the way round with post and rail and stock fencing. The owner lives in the farmhouse a short distance away and is on hand if needed during your stay. Hans Meadow sits in one of the quieter corners of Exmoor National Park, in a small hamlet with a genuinely unhurried feel. The nearby Heddon Valley is a deep, wooded combe where the River Heddon runs through ancient oak woodland before reaching the sea at Heddon's Mouth - a rocky, undeveloped cove only reachable on foot. The Hunter's Inn at the valley bottom is a well-loved local pub and a natural starting point for walks in the area, ranging from gentle riverside paths to more demanding routes up onto the coastal heathland. The South West Coast Path runs very nearby (just a couple of minutes from the property) heading west towards Combe Martin and east towards Woody Bay and Lynmouth along some of the highest cliffs on the south-west coast.

The region
+ MoreTrentishoe is a peaceful hamlet tucked into the Heddon Valley on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park, midway between Lynton and Combe Martin. The South West Coast Path runs along the coastline here and Hans Meadow is just a couple of minutes from the path. Surrounded by ste...ep wooded hillsides and open moorland, this is a quiet, unspoilt corner of Devon where red deer graze in the fields and the pace of life slows right down. The nearby hamlet of Martinhoe perches high on the Exmoor coast with dramatic cliff views across the Bristol Channel to Wales. Together, Trentishoe, Parracombe and Martinhoe make a superb base for exploring Exmoor's finest walking country, hidden valleys, and spectacular coastline. The village of Parracombe is around 4 miles away and has a pub and a farm shop for everyday essentials. The Hunter's Inn in the Heddon Valley is a popular walkers' pub and well worth a visit - the valley itself is National Trust managed and one of the finest spots on this stretch of coast and is just over a mile from the property. Lynton and Lynmouth are approximately 6 miles to the east, offering a good range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and the famous cliff railway. Combe Martin is approximately 4 miles to the west, with a sandy beach, shops, and the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park. For larger supermarkets, Barnstaple has Tesco, Sainsbury's, and most high street shops. Ilfracombe also has a good range of independent shops and a small supermarket.
The Hunter's Inn, Heddon Valley - A beautifully situated National Trust inn in the Heddon Valley, serving bar meals, cream teas, and local ales in a stunning wooded valley setting. Peacocks roam the gardens. The Fox and Goose, Parracombe - A welcoming traditional village pub serving good pub food with local ales and ciders in a cosy setting. A proper Exmoor local with a warm atmosphere, open fires, and a friendly welcome. Food served lunchtimes and evenings. Dogs welcome.

A lovely spot to refuel after a walk along the coast path. Open spring to autumn - check locally for opening times. The Rising Sun, Lynmouth - A 14th-century thatched inn right on Lynmouth harbour. Freshly prepared food using local ingredients, with wonderful views over the harbour and out to sea. Real ales, good wines, and a relaxed atmosphere. Booking recommended in peak season. Lynton and Lynmouth restaurants - the twin villages offer a good choice of dining options including cafes, fish and chip shops, and restaurants. The Esplanade Fish Bar in Lynmouth and the various tea rooms along the main street are popular choices.
Heddon Valley and Heddon's Mouth - One of Exmoor's most dramatic landscapes, owned by the National Trust - and on the doorstep! A spectacular steep-sided valley leads down to the sea at Heddon's Mouth, a wild and rocky cove where the River Heddon meets the Bristol Channel. The valley is rich in wildlife - look out for dippers, grey wagtails, and peregrine falcons along the cliffs. Martinhoe Roman Fortlet - The remains of a 1st-century Roman signal station perched on the clifftops above Woody Bay, near Martinhoe. The fortlet was part of a chain of stations watching over the Bristol Channel. The site commands breathtaking views along the coast and is freely accessible on foot from Martinhoe village. Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway - The world's steepest fully water-powered railway, connecting the twin villages of Lynton (at the top of the cliff) and Lynmouth (at the harbour below). A wonderful Victorian engineering feat and a memorable ride with superb coastal views. Valley of Rocks - A dramatic dry valley running parallel to the coast just west of Lynton. Towering rock formations with names like Castle Rock and the Devil's Cheesewring rise above the path, while feral goats scramble over the crags. Free access and parking. Watersmeet, Lynmouth - A National Trust beauty spot where the East Lyn River and Hoar Oak Water meet in a deep, wooded gorge. A Victorian fishing lodge now serves as a tea room. Beautiful riverside walks through ancient oak woodland. Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park - A family-friendly attraction with meerkats, sea lions, wolves, and life-size dinosaur models set in subtropical gardens. Good for a half-day visit with children. Exmoor Zoo - A small, friendly zoo near Bratton Fleming. Home to a wide variety of animals including lynx, cheetahs, and tropical birds. The zoo specialises in small and unusual species and offers keeper talks throughout the day. Woody Bay and the Woody Bay Station - The restored Lynton and Barnstaple Railway runs heritage steam and diesel trains from Woody Bay Station. A delightful ride through Exmoor countryside, with a small museum and tea room at the station.
Heddon's Mouth - A classic Exmoor walk following the River Heddon through a spectacular National Trust valley to the sea. The path is well-maintained and mostly downhill to the rocky cove at Heddon's Mouth. Approximately 3 miles round trip. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours. Graded easy to moderate. South West Coast Path - The coast path passes along the coast just two minutes away from Hans Meadow offering superb clifftop walking in both directions. Dramatic sea views throughout, with the chance to visit the Roman fortlet along the way.

Superb views from the ridge, with a mixture of moorland, woodland, and riverside walking. Approximately 6 miles. Allow 3 to 4 hours. Valley of Rocks - A dramatic walking circuit around the rock formations, with options to extend along the coast path in either direction. Feral goats are a regular sight among the crags. Beaches Heddon's Mouth - The nearest beach, a dramatic rocky cove at the foot of the Heddon Valley. A wild and unspoilt spot reached on foot -- not a bathing beach, but a stunning place to sit and watch the waves crash against the rocks. Combe Martin - A sandy beach at low tide, sheltered by the surrounding hills, with rock pools to explore. Good for families. Shops and cafes nearby. Lee Bay - A small, sheltered rocky cove near Ilfracombe. Popular with rock-poolers and snorkellers in calm conditions. Woolacombe - One of Devon's finest sandy beaches; three miles of golden sand backed by dunes, with excellent surfing, lifeguard patrols in summer, and all facilities. Well worth the drive for a beach day. Porlock Bay - A dramatic arc of pebbles backed by salt marshes, with wonderful views across to the Welsh coast.
