A little bit about Mid Devon and where we are: We are 40 minutes from both the North and South coast. The busy market town of Crediton is nearby and Exeter is only 20 minutes away with its historic quayside, Cathedral and superb shopping facilities. Dartmoor and Exmoor as well as North and South Coast beaches are accessible from here. A car would be handy when staying here but there is a train station and mainline buses running from Crediton, plus local taxi firms. We are Suzi & John & have been here, with our children at Great Gutton for over 10 years. Whilst the children have nearly all left home, we love welcoming guests to stay and understand there are many reasons for choosing to come to Great Gutton. Whether it is family gatherings, celebrations, holidays, time together or simply time away from it all to relax, we try and make all things possible. Should you have any questions, then simply ping them over and I will see what I can do! Escape, Relax and Unwind......
