Directions
Bosvean House is
not difficult to find but can be easily missed
when approaching the entrance.
Bush is on the
A39 just north of Bude and Stratton. You can use
the following link to display our location in
Google Maps - this will allow you to obtain
directions to/from your own location.
Click here. For those adept at computerised
maps, there is also a "streetview" on the Google
Maps site that shows the Bridlepath sign at the
entrance to our property - so you can
familiarise yourself with the location before
arriving.
If
approaching from Bideford/Barnstaple direction
on the A39, upon entering Bush you will see a
lay-by on the right-hand side of the road. The
entrance to Bosvean House is almost opposite this, with our B&B sign and Bridleway
sign at the end of the lane.
If travelling
from Exeter you can travel either via
Okehampton-to-Holsworthy-to-Stratton-A39 or via
Launceston-to-Bude/Stratton-A39. Join the A39
and turn right (i.e. north towards
Bideford/Barnstaple). Bush is less than half a
mile away and our entrance is within a short
distance on the right with a Bridlepath sign at
the end of the lane. |
