The footpath behind Bossington Hall takes you straight down to Bossington and onto the South West Coast Path. We loved the walk to the old Coastguard lookout and Selworthy Beacon for the views, though the climb is steep. The shorter loop to the shingle beach and back was gentler. If you're travelling with furry friends, Martinhoe has a water bowl, mat and towel, plus a rear door that opens directly onto the grounds. For us, a coffee pod machine would have been a welcome extra. We were there for three nights, and the place felt more like staying with friends in a beautiful country retreat than a conventional hotel. It's quiet, classy, and wonderfully relaxing. The sunny weather helped, but so did the care and attention to detail. We walked the grounds, used the sauna, helped ourselves to Nook snacks and stopped at the excellent Honesty Bar several times. Highly recommended.
