North Devon has a wonderful item to offer visitors and that is the marvellous photographs of James Ravilious. These photographs show Devon in the 1970's and 80's and they convey the people and the history of the area beautifully and we are pleased to see that James' photographs are now getting the publicity that they so richly deserve.

The garden at "No Place"

If you are celebrating a birthday or an anniversary or would just like to be spoiled, why not let us know. We can serve you with a very special breakfast of smoked salmon, scrambled free range eggs and something with a fizz!! Perhaps a few flowers to colour the occasion. Or if you prefer, a dinner to suit the moment.

If you have something in mind why not discuss it with us. We can do most things, to suit most requirements.

'No Place' is thought to have been built in the 17th century and is of traditional cob and stone construction. The origin of the house name is equally lost in time but certainly appears so named on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1887. It is suggested the derivation of the name recognises the location of the house close to the borders of several parishes and, perhaps, in the distant past, was no place for local taxation. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

The house is set in five acres so guests are welcome to wander and take the Devon air. Additionally, our permanent tenant 'Tilly', the Dartmoor pony, will appreciate the odd apple or carrot.

We have just had a solar water heating system installed to help reduce our carbon footprint.
