It is a house full of character, with superb views. It is close to the main town of Barnstaple and also handy for Exmoor and the North Devon coast.
Response from The Spinney:
We are so pleased you enjoyed your short stay with us and thank you for bringing to our attention the very hot water whilst we do display warning signs we would agree a mixer tap would be an option and we are now looking into this.
