The Burton at Bideford is a gallery and museum set in a historic port on the north Devon coast, combining art galleries, a permanent collection, a shop and a French bistro café. You can browse changing exhibitions, join creative courses and workshops, or attend talks and events, and it also doubles as Bideford's tourist information centre. It suits anyone interested in art, local history or a relaxed museum visit, with workshop rooms available for hire too. Based in Bideford, Torridge, Devon, it's a short trip from Westward Ho! beach, 2.1 miles away, and with 110 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's easy to combine with a wider stay in the area.
