Lots of things to do…
The options are virtually endless, but here are some of
the more popular.
Massage
Just the thing to soothe away stress! The masseurs come
to the house for a minimum of 3 hours, for either hour or
half hour treatments.
Archery, laser clay, pistol and clay shooting
can be arranged in the grounds, ideal if you are short of time
or don’t fancy driving further afield.

If you don’t mind a scenic drive
down to Exmoor, there is nothing more exhilarating
than Horse Riding on the hills, this can be
combined with Fly Fishing tuition and Clay
Shooting as all three are quite near each other,
with the prospect of meeting up afterwards for a pub
lunch to tempt everyone out of the house! |
On the entertainment front, our casino night is
very popular (strictly for fun, we do not have a gaming
licence!). We can also arrange a murder mystery or
you can choose from a wide range of musicians, from a pianist to a ceilidh or from Blue Grass to dinner jazz and anything in between.
We can arrange all the above activities for you, and in
addition are details below of other popular activities.
Hire your own sports complex
We have a private arrangement with a local public school
to hire their facilities at weekends. Fancy a cricket pitch
for some 20:20 fun (tea in the pavilion too!), fabulous
tennis and squash courts or why not try fencing in the salon
coached by Olympic champion Gyorgy Felletar. The sports
hall can be hire by the hour for 5-a-side football, badminton
or basketball.
Cooking skills – let our chefs work with you and have a fun experience producing a meal for yourselves – our Thai course is very popular.
Golf - we can direct you to excellent parkland, championship and links courses all within 5-10 miles of our properties.
Walking
Whether you want a gentle stroll, or a more energetic hike
up a hillside, there is something for everyone, (mostly
with a pub along the way!) there are maps and guided walks
at the houses; we can send you information on these before
you come if you wish.
Quantock Hills, home and inspiration to the
writers Wordsworth and Coleridge and home for the oldest
breed of wild pony; glorious for walking, especially down
Dead Woman’s Ditch!
The Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty and the West Country’s best kept secret.
Exmoor, including Lorna Doone country, Tarr Steps
(we know an excellent natural river pool to swim in the
summer at OS grid ref. 3286). All are beautiful areas to
explore.
Coastal walks on the north Devon coast, you can even walk to the beach from Berry House.
Surfing – we can direct you to great spots or arrange excellent private tuition for your group including all equipment.
Branscombe Beach on the
south coast near Lyme Regis, is a romantic, wonderful, shingle
beach. Early summers evening barbecues on the beach are
also highly recommended!
Saunton Sands; near Barnstaple,
north Devon, is a two mile stretch of lovely, soft, sandy
beach. Around the corner is the popular surfing beach Croyde
Bay and Woolacombe Sand. Roads around this area can get
busy in the peak summer months.
