The 15th Century Duke of York is the focal point of the stunning village of Iddesleigh in North Devon. This picture perfect village, overlooking the moor, was made famous by Michael Morpurgo’s ‘War Horse’ which is in part set in Iddesleigh. Excellent local beer and cider with comfortable rooms available, a welcoming landlord in John and an excellent venue for a stag do too (or for Exeter University students, just ask Deetiles co-founder!) If you stay here you avoid the mandatory 11pm closing time and can drink all night should you so desire.
