About Combe Martin

Combe Martin is surrounded by the most scenic countryside, with Exmoor National Park to the east and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to the west. The village is on the coast with the iconic South West Coast Path passing through the village. You can enjoy some of the best kayaking and walking country straight from your accommodation!

Our Beach

Combe Martin Bay has a shingle and sand beach when the tide is high, but at low tide there is a lovely sandy beach with lots of rockpools to investigate, making the area ideal for family holidays. There are spectacular views across the bay to dramatic headlands beyond. Combe Martin Bay offers a safe place for many activities and for all ages.
