Trimstone Manor Country House Hotel is situated five miles from Braunton, and two miles from Woolacombe and the North of Ilfracombe. Many local attractions, beaches and Exmoor are not too far away.
Beaches & Surfing
We are ideally situated within minutes of some of North Devon's most beautiful beaches including Woolacombe Bay, Croyde and Saunton Sands.
Many of these beaches are very popular for surfing and wind-surfing.

Golf
Three local courses including Saunton Golf Club.
There are two 18 hole courses at Saunton, both are traditional links courses, the East being the recognised Championship course. Whereas the West although shorter in many ways offers a more exacting test of golf. There are two putting greens available as well as practice grounds with a recent addition of a covered practice range to brush up on your swing! More information here: Saunton Golf Club
