Lundy Island and the pretty Ilfracombe are definitely worth a visit, as are some of the beautiful gardens and historic houses in the area. For the adventurer there’s obviously the undeniable surfing opportunities (Ruda even has it’s own surf school), and for family fun days there’s The Big Sheep farm, Ilfracombe Aquarium and Exmoor Zoo, to name but a few.
So whether you want to venture near or far from your lodge on your visits here (There will surely be days you can’t tear yourself away from your beautiful lodge)… You’re certainly not short of things to do.
