Overview
Property code: OC-28974

A simply beautiful country house, this spacious 5-star property can accommodate parties of up to 24 guests for a very special break. Inside the property has been lovingly styled in an elegantly timeless fashion with well-chosen furnishings and chic understated decor, whilst the outside space is equally appealing with a sumptuous hot tub and an amazing BBQ hut.

The owners of this property seem to have thought of everything: from the nine-seater hot tub in the 1.5-acre garden to the fantastic games room with a pool table, Smart TV, Xbox 360 games console, and its own bar. Two separate lounges ensure that there is plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind, whilst 2019 sees the addition of a cinema room. The dining room has two large tables seating all 24 guests, whilst those seeking a quiet corner will be glad of the small library. For those with an even larger party, there is a separate property on the estate which can only be booked alongside this one. Sleeping seven, the cottage boasts four bedrooms (two doubles, one twin, and one single), as well as a kitchen/diner, lounge, bathroom, shower room, and an extra WC.

Lovely old house in a beautiful part of Devon with loads of space for our party of 24. The garden was lovely and very popular (and safe) with the 8 children in our party.

Our large family group from 2 to 90 were delighted with this spacious house. With a large range cooker (induction hob, electric ovens) and 2 large fridges plus ample equipment self catering was a delight. We appreciated the welcome pack with milk, scones and clotted cream plus handy basics like toiletries in all bathrooms, coffee maker plus pods, Read moredishwasher tabs etc. The hot tub was lovely, the bbq with local butcher delivery, the cinema and games room were all enjoyed. Everyone was pleased Hide

Property is amazing and very well equipped. We used the hot tub and games room only as it was cold for our stay (but central heating worked well and we didn't use wood indoors although there was pleanty enough, and felt that for a summer stay there was a lot of outdoor space for bbq's, seating etc to enjoy the outdoors. But overall - fantastic, welRead morel equipped accommodation. Hide

The house was lovely and the owner responded promptly to queries. Holiday Cottages communication was dire.
