Experience the best of Devon's country and coast with this ideally situated holiday home: discover dramatic chalk cliffs and rolling hills; visit traditional seaside towns; and swim and sunbathe at various pretty beaches dotted along the coast. Return to relax at this fantastic farmhouse for 14, a stunning and spacious property designed for action-packed mornings, relaxing afternoons and cosy evenings. Situated on a 10,000-acre working farm with miles of meandering walks through awe-inspiring landscape teeming with wildlife, wake with a stroll and a coffee listening to the birdsong as the sun comes up over the countryside.

Bursting with charm and character, the reception rooms are perfect for family gatherings, with plenty of options to spread out should you require some down time. After discarding wet outdoor gear in the boot room, prepare a feast in the kitchen and gather everyone around the table to enjoy it. Cosy up and watch your favourite film in front of the wood burner in the living room or challenge someone to a game of pool. Perhaps you prefer to simply enjoy the evening sun sprawled on the lawn, before indulging in some al fresco dining as the kids enjoy ball games in the large, enclosed garden. End the day with a dip in the swim/spa and unwind in the sauna, realising you’ve picked a holiday destination made for relaxation.

Close by are the picturesque towns of Lynton and Lynmouth (both 5 miles) with the famous cliff railway providing a great day out for all the family. Head to the coast to discover the string of sandy beaches on Devon’s north coast, including Woolacombe (18 miles), Saunton (22 miles) and Croyde (21 miles) together with hidden coves, including those at Lee Bay (19 miles) and Woody Bay (4 miles). Fun-filled family days out include the Wildlife and Dinosaur Park at Coombe Martin (7.5 miles), Exmoor Zoo (8 miles) and Watermouth Castle (13 miles).

This is absolutely the ideal holiday stay for large families holidaying together. We were celebrating my 70th with both of our sons and their families, plus dogs. Perfect accommodation. Plenty to occupy the kids, wonderful walks, ( the dogs were shattered at the end of every day!) cosy log fire , to sit in the evening and watch a film.

It is a superb place in a beautiful setting and we all loved it. One small detail - the small bedroom (opposite a bathroom) has nowhere to hang up clothes - it's probably too small for a wardrobe, but a couple of hooks behind the door would be helpful.

We had a wonderful week at Woolhanger Farm. The manager and staff on the farm site were courteous and helpful. We would have preferred for all 14 of us to be in the same house, rather than 2 in the cottage attached, but got many that would be a plus! We would like to return!
