We were a part of 8 over 3 generations, including 4 teenagers. The house was perfect as there was plenty of space to spread out. The games room was ideal and we made full use of the badminton set, that we brought, on the lawn Bideford is not particularly a holiday town, which was not a problem for us and was only a few minutes drive from some beachRead morees and the Tarka Trail which we cycled a number of times. The only downside, which is obvious from the photos, is the steep hill up to the house. Hide

The house and the grounds were amazing. It helped the 7 of is (and 2 dogs) to relax and unwind. The games room was brilliant, we had much fun and laughter. I would highly recommend this property if you just want to get away for the hectic and busy life.

Beautiful property in fabulous location. Think the cleaning could have been better and very limited on handwashing, toilet rolls and towels. Lovely kitchen but slightly lacking on equipment. However the overall quality and beautiful surroundings meant we had a fabulous stay. Work going on in garden but didnt disrupt us.
