About this property
Country house hot tub - Outdoor entertaining at its best!
Escape to the Country with all the facilities close at hand. Tucked up a private lane with 2 acres of grounds and a private hot tub this is the perfect country stay. Stroll to the Thatched Inn pub or head to the cliffs and the Coastal paths.
Relax in the expansive living area with large open jet fire and a snug area overlooking the garden. Designed for large families or groups to relax in. The kitchen is the perfect cooks paradise with walk in larder and fridge, open plan casual dining and central worktop space. Step out the french doors into the front garden catering for barbecues and extensive outdoor seating and dining. Summer ready with a gas pizza oven, roll out the outdoor table tennis and satisfy all the family!
The master suite lies at the end of the upstairs hall and offers a magnificently large open room with gable window pouring in light. A super king bed is offered in this lovely space with a walk through ensuite. The soaker tub gives new meaning to views from the bath. Enjoy your own private balcony from this space with sea views to Lundy and further down the coast. There are a further five bedrooms accommodating a range of guests. Situated along both sides of the house, one of the large rooms offers two spaces, one with zip together singles beds and alongside a double bed, this allows a great flexible for the children's group or couples with young babies. The family bathroom on this floor offers claw foot bath, shower and toilet. Downstairs is a further shower, toilet and laundry combination.
The main sitting room includes a snug with sofas overlooking the garden and another area for television or games by the fireplace. Separately off the living area is the conservatory/play room - a delight for the children.
Social gatherings and relaxation are on the agenda.. soak up the sun in the garden, fire up the barbecue or soak in the hot tub. The kids will love the tree house, coined "what we dream of having as children". For the ultimate family escape or gathering everything is on tap for your enjoyment. Set amongst two acres and privately gated, a large family or group with love the proximity to all North Devon has to offer.
When you are ready to discover the coastal path make your way across the paddocks to Greencliff and join this extensive path offering stunning vistas of the beautiful North Devon coastline. Pack a picnic and travel further down the coastal path to many of the beautiful spots. If its a pub lunch, the village Thatched Inn is equally a 10 minute walk down the lane offering outdoor dining and great pub food.
Escape the city for the coast of North Devon. Please contact us for any further queries. Please note planning for 1 bedroom cottage with own grounds neighbouring the property, please enquire for pre-booking.

The house is a great size. There were 12 of us and plenty of space for us all without feeling like we were on top of each other.
The outdoor space is beautiful and very private. Little boutique touches such as towels and flannels made it that bit extra special, it felt like we were staying in a hotel and had the place to ourselves.
The kitchen and larder had everything we could need for cooking and the pizza oven outside was a bonus!
The house is in a lovely village and the local pub is fantastic. Bideford and Westward Ho are close by and are great places to visit.
We had a fantastic time and would love to return!
After cancelled holidays over the last couple of years due to Covid we, four families coming together, were ready for this holiday and Abbotsham proved to be a wonderful place to relax as well as provide the space for the grandchildren to enjoy the open garden in front of the house. While feeling you were in the middle of nowhere you are only a five minute drive away from all the amenities you could need as well as being close to Westward Ho! and the beach there. Any initial issues we had with the property were quickly resolved by Rose and Debby, the house keeper, which was greatly appreciated. Many happy memories were made on this holiday and this was, in part, down to Abbotsham house and it’s location.
The house was perfect for a large group. We were are party of 3 families and there was plenty of space for everyone. The location was great for getting around the local area. The host was great and happy to answer any queries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks.
We were a party of 10 staying at the house to celebrate a family birthday. The property exceeded our expectations in terms of size and presentation, everyone agreed it was perfect. In particular, the kitchen is a great space to socialise. Despite there being 10 of us you could always find space to chill on your own if you wanted. The garden at the front is an amazing space set well back from the road; great for kids and adults alike. The host was great too; always responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and during the stay.
