Beach End, Dartmouth, sleeps 12 + 3 dogs
Beach End offers up some of the best views in South Devon, sat right on the edge of the River Dart. With five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two lounges, there’s plenty of room for a large party and everyone will love dining together, gazing out over the panoramic view from the kitchen/diner. On a warm day, open the bi-fold doors and make the most of the fresh Dartmouth air. Stunning interiors and incredible natural beauty in the surroundings means that there will be plenty of fantastic photo opportunities for you to remember the celebration by too!
Fairways, Appledore, sleeps 8
Situated in the much-loved village of Appledore, Fairways is a luxurious escape perfect for getting to know the coast, visiting quaint cafes and enjoying a slower pace of life. From this abode, you’ll be able to visit a number of North Devon’s fantastic beaches, and family attractions such as The BIG Sheep and The Milky Way. Adding to the entertainment options, the garage features a games room with a table tennis table for a little competition during your stay and the private hot tub in the garden is an ideal spot to relax after a day of exploring.
Surfers, beach lovers and those in search of a little R&R will feel right at home at Devon’s Samphire House. Only a stone’s throw away from Westward Ho! village and beach, there is so much to see and do without the need for a car - perfect for large groups wanting a hassle-free getaway. Head out for an afternoon of rock pooling, testing your luck in the arcades, trying out one of the many water sports or relaxing in a seaside café before heading home to watch the sunset from the balcony and for a little evening swim!
Regency House, Sidmouth, sleeps 9 + 2 dogs
Explore the Jurassic Coast from this gorgeous property with easy access to the South West Coast Path and the town of Sidmouth. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find Sidmouth’s sandy seafront and an abundance of cafes and restaurants, giving you plenty to fill the days. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms make this a great place for a multi-generational holiday, allowing you to bring everyone together for some quality time in Devon.
Staddon House is a stunning contemporary farmhouse with far-reaching views of Dartmoor and Exmoor and has to be one of the best places to host a get-together in our collection. The large enclosed garden featuring a hot tub is perfect for summertime celebrations, while the bright kitchen/diner is a great social space for all other times of the year. A well-equipped games room provides fun for all the family, and you can explore the best of the coast and countryside from the doorstep with the Tarka Trail just minutes away. Head into North Tawton to experience true country life with plenty of opportunities to ride horses, fish and play golf too!
Escape to the seaside on a retreat to Chambercombe Park House in Ilfracombe and you can rest assured that it’ll be a trip everyone will remember. You’ll be welcomed in with stunning sea views and plenty of room for a family (or two) to get together for a marvellous celebration! Located within walking distance of the local amusements, coastal attractions and places to eat, there’s no shortage of things to do during your stay. A few of the places we’d most recommend include Watermouth Castle for fun with the kids, Ilfracombe sea safari to spot a pod of dolphins or one of the many incredible North Devon beaches, Woolacombe being the most loved!
