Don’t miss the lovely 1930s cinema in which screens the latest releases as well as live screenings of major theatre productions. The delightful village of Braunton (4 miles) is full of boutiques, while beautiful Saunton Sands Beach is a 7-mile trip from this property. For more days by the sea, Croyde Beach., Woolacombe Beach and Lee Bay are all within 12 miles.

The property has been converted into four apartments and two cottages. They are all managed by the owner, whose family has owned the property since it was built. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious with a wide range of leisure facilities on site. This pretty apartment is on the first floor with wonderful countryside and sea views from the lounge and bedrooms. The lounge/dining room has an attractive fireplace and deep windows, and the kitchen is well kitted out for all your self-catering needs. There are two bedrooms plus a further bed in the lounge for alternative sleeping arrangements.

Outside the extensive grounds offer plenty of space for children and dogs to play in and there’s seating just outside the covered pool area too, perfect for relaxing and catching a few rays during the summer months. It goes without saying that the on-site leisure facilities are a real bonus whatever the weather!

We had an excellent stay at Upcott house over summer holidays. We stayed at Fortescue which is an apartment (felt like a house really) on the first floor. We were a family of 4 from Liverpool with kids aged 7 and 5. The main attraction was the swimming pool which the kids enjoyed most days. There is also a games room with a full size snooker table Read moreand a playground where we had a few games of cricket. In the evening there is a bar, if you fancied a drink. The owners Mark & Denise live onsite and work tirelessly to make sure the guests have a relaxing stay. Good selection of supermarkets in Barnstaple and the main beaches- Westward Ho, Saunton Sands & Woolacombe beach within half an hour drive. If we lived closer, we would visit every school break!
