With its colourful smuggling history, you should be able to dig up enough buried treasure along the ruggedly beautiful North Devon coast for a whole series of the Antiques Roadshow. Or, you could leave the bucket and spade at home and instead see the stunning collectables at the Miller's at Tors Hotel.

Stay
Newly taken over by Martin Miller—of 'Miller's Antiques' fame—this unique place has a real valuable on show: a two-night package for two people for just £129 (up to a £267.95 value). Set in five acres of Exmoor woodland and overlooking historic Lynmouth harbour, the views from here are priceless. Step inside with £5 each to spend on welcome drinks amid strikingly individual, vibrantly coloured interiors, before heading up to your Countisbury Room overlooking the stunning Devon landscape or the sea.

Eat
A picture postcard view of the bay takes pride of place in the hotel restaurant. If you choose to dine, you'll enjoy an inclusive bottle of wine to accompany the menu of European-influenced cuisine. In the morning, enjoy breakfast in the restful Curiosity Room, or browse the papers out on the bay-top sun terrace.

See
You're just a couple of minutes' walk from a brilliant golden oldie: the water-powered cliff railway opened in 1890, and is still on hand to carry you up the steep cliff to the twin village of Lynton and the charming Lyn Museum. You might like to clear the cobwebs with a boat trip and a little sea air, for this part of Exmoor has the highest sea cliffs in England, punctuated by deep wooded river gorges and isolated bays.
