Fancy staying in your own private country estate? Then you’ll love this Grade II listed manor house in Devon. The décor oozes Georgian splendour with vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and a Gothic reception hall. There’s even a separate annex in the east wing, which offers a sense of privacy for large group stays. You can expect stately living areas to gather in with friends and family, complete with roaring fireplaces, a grand piano and banquet table fit for a feast. 

Take long walks around the sprawling, 38-acre grounds, exploring woodlands home to gurgling streams and red deer. Afternoons are made for enjoying decadent afternoon teas on the sunny, south-facing patio while soaking up the countryside views – your host can even help arrange a hot tub on request. If you can drag yourself away, take day trips to explore Exmoor and Dartmoor’s unspoilt national parks. Kids will also love the pristine Blue Flag beaches in North Devon, which are just a short drive away.

If you're planning a family getaway in Devon, look no further than these two traditional 17th-century brick-built barns. Tucked away at the edge of an expansive farm estate, the two glorious cottages and barn conversion have been lovingly restored and furnished with a contemporary flourish. Gather your ensemble for a feast in the grand mid-night blue dining area. The two living and dining rooms are bright and light, each with a wood burner and plenty of logs to keep things cosy. Each bedroom has been individually styled with a blend of navy and sage green walls, and you'll find modern up-cycled furniture throughout to make you feel like you’re in a boutique hotel. If you fancy a tipple, there's a well-stocked honesty bar. The cottages are set within three acres of private land made up of rolling green hills, flower-filled meadows and tree-studded, landscaped gardens. It's utterly idyllic and you’ll struggle to tear yourself away – but if you can muster up the energy, the bustling market town of Honiton is around six miles away, and Branscombe Beach is a thirty-minute drive from home.

At first glance, this home impresses with its distinctively Gothic facade. You'll find it in a grade-two listed building dating back to the late-seventeenth century and overlooking Exeter's green trimmed cathedral. Here, you're right at the heart of the action, nestled on Cathedral Yard amidst a delightful cluster of period architecture and just steps from the city's bustling high street. With its unique location on the third floor, this home boasts spectacular views of the city, countryside and coast. 

We love this home's opulent art deco aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and oak parquet floors adorned with stylish decor and contemporary amenities. Spend your downtime relaxing in the open-plan living space, curled up in the plush lounging nook or cooking a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen, with its marble quartz worktops and state of the art appliances. After a restful slumber in the sumptuous bedrooms, spend mornings roosted at the dining table, tucking into coffee and pastries. Spend your days exploring the nearby cobbled streets lined with independent cafes and boutiques, or head to Exeter Quay, twelve minutes away on foot, for a stroll by the water. Come sunset, head to Queen Street for its delectable array of eateries and rooftop bars, a five-minute walk from your doorstep.

Holy Grail

Hammock

Felicity Orchard is a private affair. The huge enclosed garden offers stunning green views over the surrounding fields, as well as several hangouts where you can put your feet up and relax — from the little dining spot to the luxurious jacuzzi (this is covered, so you can enjoy the water and the fresh air whatever the weather). You'll also be sharing your space with some beautiful flowering fruit trees, so you're more than encouraged to grab an apple in the morning when the season is right. The insides are all open-plan so that you always have the best natural light, and in the evenings, you can curl up with a good book by the wood-burning stove when the weather is chilly. Nearby, you’ll find the beginning of the Grand Union Canal, which makes for a great walk. As you can see, there's always plenty to do in the area, but you can also drive to Exeter if you're in the mood for some urban exploration. 

Felicity Orchard

Perched on the third floor in the very heart of Exeter, Crowning Moment is in the privileged position of being able to offer its guests exquisite views of the city's Gothic Cathedral. Although recently renovated, Crowning Moment itself is steeped in history and you can feel it throughout. Boasting exposed timber frames, high ceilings, and original windows, this home carefully balances modern-day luxuries with its own rich history for a trip that is relaxing and educational all at the same time. Spend your days learning about Exeter and strolling through its charming streets before heading home to the comfort of this lavish space.

Crowning Moment

Ever dreamt of calling a Grade II listed castle with 38 acres of private land, on which streams flow, bluebell-peppered woodlands abound and red deer roam free, home? That dream might be about to come true. This spectacular home, which dates back to the Elizabethan era and 19th Century Georgian features, has been lovingly restored to combine its history with modern luxury - think a regency dining room and original fireplaces alongside a wine-chiller pantry and en-suites and Smart TVs in every bedroom. Beyond the majestic grounds, the location is excellent for nature lovers and townies alike. Exmoor is just a twenty minute drive away and great surfing beaches Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and Lynton are all reachable in under an hour. You can be in Exeter in thirty minutes by car, while nearby villages Tiverton - a fifteen minute drive away - South Molton and Barnstaple all offer weekly charming pannier markets, bursting with local produce. All that, and what's said to be the oldest pub in Devon, The Stag Inn, is under a mile away.

A Royal Feast

The fact that this timber-framed building is fuelled exclusively by renewable resources and built with ecology in mind makes staying here even sweeter. This bright and gorgeous cabin is equipped with everything you need to relax and tune into nature, starting with the covered outdoor hot tub and a bright open-plan living space that will protect you from the elements. During the colder months, the wood-burning stove provides the perfect atmosphere for a night in, and the fact that the cabin is encased in glass from two sides means that you'll always have a great view of the countryside. The nearby village of Holcombe Rogus has lots of beautiful nature to explore. However, it's a great jumping-off point for trips further afield. The city of Exeter is only a twenty-minute drive away if you want to spend an afternoon in a more urban environment, while day trips to the stunning beaches of the north and south coasts are well within reach, as are Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks.

This marvellous barn conversion ticks all the boxes for a fantastic stay in Devon. With plenty of room, lots of style, and a wonderful location in Dartmoor National Park, you're guaranteed to have a great time here. 

The high vaulted ceilings and wooden beams remind you of the building's former use, while the clean colour palette brings it firmly into the 21st century. You'll love lighting the wood burner and getting cosy on the sofa with a glass of wine on winter evenings. Or, if the sun is shining, head outside onto the patio for an alfresco feast hot off the charcoal barbeque. And, there's even a games room where you can finish off the evening with a round of snooker. 

Hikers and cyclists will be in their element, with all of the sprawling Dartmoor National Park to explore. History fans can visit the nearby Castle Drogo and the iron age forts and stone circles scattered across the moorland. And, if you're missing the hustle and bustle, you can drive into Exeter, the ancient city on the River Exe, in around half an hour. 

Dandelion Clock

Good things come to those who wait. Four hundred years ago, this cottage was a barn, but it has recently been converted to become the picturesque dwelling you'll find today. Tucked away in three acres of idyllic land, it's surrounded by wildflower meadows, rolling green hills and beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of Devon’s glorious countryside. If you’re looking for somewhere totally private yet utterly indulgent, this is it. The interior has some grand original features (wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and a cosy wood-burner with an abundance of logs) as well as thoughtful, modern design touches (bold geometric-print cushions, sage green walls, upcycled furniture and industrial-style wall lamps). We don’t say this lightly, but a perfect night’s sleep is all but guaranteed thanks to the exceptional quality bedding (which has the same thread count as the sheets used at The Dorchester Hotel) and a cocktail or two courtesy of the honesty bar. Hic. The spectacular craggy coastline of south Devon is half an hour's drive away, while the bustling market town of Honiton takes about half that time to reach.

Green Green Grass of Home

Between the undulating green hills of Devon lies this large Tudor-esque manor, equipped with plush, comfy furniture and a traditional kitchen, very fitting for the countryside. Converted from a thatched 17th-century farmhouse, the cottage lies in the heart of a working farm, so your kids will love hanging out with the cattle and sheep. If you can peel them away from the animals, you can explore the quaint villages around Exmoor and browse the boutiques of South Molton. Back in the home, admire the exposed wood floor and make use of the AGA to feel like you're in yesteryear (breaking the illusion is the games console that'll keep the little ones entertained). Velvet curtains, a woodburner and an antique rocking horse add those grand yet homely touches.

Molton Tudor

Say hello to peace, privacy and picturesque views at this stunning 17th-century cottage squirrelled away in the east Devon countryside. A former barn that has been lovingly transformed into a stylish yet homely retreat, the traditional features – think a flickering wood burner, exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling that makes for a striking focal point – mixed up with trendy and modern flourishes. We loved the eclectic artwork on the walls, the bold navy paintwork in the master bedroom and the cool upcycled furniture. Take a moment to admire your surroundings and you’ll be mightily impressed. The rolling Blackdown Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty no less – landscaped gardens and wildflower meadows make up the three acres of private land on the estate. Swap the bucolic countryside for the seaside with a thirty-minute drive to the Jurassic Coast. In the evenings, we can’t think of anywhere better than back at home in the open-plan living room with a cocktail from the honesty bar. Throw another log on the fire, and relax.

This barn conversion is tucked away near the picturesque village of Burlescombe. Sitting within an International Dark Skies Reserve, you’ll be treated to starry skies on a clear evening – the bedroom even has a stargazing window so you can view the night sky from the comfort of the suspended bed. We love the characterful features here, like the hand-crafted sliding bedroom door and the oak breakfast bar. While the kitchenette is small, it’s got everything you need to whip up a light bite or snack, and for heartier meals, you’ll find a variety of cafes, pubs, and restaurants nearby. Location-wise, you’ve got the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Tiverton with its canals and castle, within easy driving distance.

Stargazing in Burlescombe

Private Washing Machine

Overlooking the rolling hillsides of North Devon, the setting of this quaint cottage is as pretty as a picture. It's a scene best admired from the beautifully maintained suntrap garden, which you'll have all for yourselves. Inside, there's an obligatory fireplace to curl up beside with your four-legged friends, and upstairs, discover two traditionally styled bedrooms perfectly in keeping with the home's character. You'll need a car to explore here as there are no local amenities in your nearest village, Bishops Nympton. But Exmoor's vast beaches and the vibrant market town of South Molton are just a short drive away.

Exmoor's Embrace

Swimming Pool

Tennis Court

Sauna

Set among twenty-five acres of grounds in the Devon countryside, this Victorian manor house is a real showstopper in which charming period features rub shoulders quite happily with modern amenities.

Among the manicured garden, you'll find a saltwater swimming pool that's heated by solar panels, a tennis court surrounded by Rhodendrum bushes and corners with orchards and vegetable patches — not to mention a Grade II-listed grotto. If rain cancels play at any point, you can always head into the barn that's been converted into a dance-studio-come-yoga-space. In here, there's also a well-equipped gym, an infra-red sauna and a games room to keep you busy.

That's before we've even got to the home itself. It's hard not to be instantly wowed by the grand dining room, double-aspect living rooms and hallway complete with a baby grand piano. Upstairs, there are bedrooms to suit every design taste, from four-poster beds straight out of a period drama to more contemporary options.

Although there's plenty to keep you occupied without leaving the address, the excellent location gives you heaps more options. There are a pair of pubs and a restaurant in the surrounding village of Chumleigh, while both Westward Ho! and Saunton Sands beaches take fifty minutes to reach in the car. There are walking routes galore in the surrounding Devon countryside, too.

Follies & Frivolities

Step into the shoes of a lord or lady and soak up the grandeur of this country house set in 32 acres of countryside. The farmhouse-style kitchen has a classic AGA stove – try out that recipe you’ve been saving and enjoy your hard work in the dining room with views extending into the conservatory. The drawing room is perfect for socialising over a glass of locally-produced wine, while the billiards table makes for a fun post-dinner activity. Take a stroll in the gardens, complete with a Monet-inspired bridge over a lake. Located in the quaint village of Combe Raleigh, you can explore Honiton and its lace shops or take a short drive to the Jurassic Coast.

Lake Monet

A cosy countryside retreat with a hot tub, wood burner and countryside views – are we ticking your holiday boxes yet? This charming home is ideal for a family wanting to escape from it all, and you can even bring your four-legged friends along for the ride. Handy, really, given you’ve got a plethora of walks on your doorstep, not to mention Exmoor National Park within easy reach. Fancy a coast day instead? You’re around a half-hour drive from North Somerset’s beaches – this home really does give you the best of both worlds. 

Somerset Bliss

Nestled in thirty-eight acres of private woodland and parkland, you'll find this Grade II-listed estate, It's well-known in the area for its beauty and tranquility, making this home a great option for those who want their holiday residence to be quiet and peaceful. 

Part of a manor house, this wing has been brilliantly taken care of since Elizabethan times and has recently been refurbished. Along with some original features that emphasise the rural charm, you'll notice plenty of wood, mood lighting, and high-quality soft furnishings where you can lounge and relax. Every room has a view of the scenic surroundings that are yours to explore – the host has told us that you might see a red deer or a rare bird on your morning walks around the pond. 

It would be easy to while away an eternity in this unique corner of Devon, but there's plenty to see and do in the wider area too. A twenty-minute drive will bring you to Exmoor National Park, where you can go hiking, mountain biking, or even try your hand at rock climbing and canoeing. And, if you're craving a day at the beach, then the north Devon coastline is close by – you can arrive at the surfer town of Westward Ho! in under an hour by car. 

Little Dart Retreat

Private Dryer

Courtyard

This traditional barn – located in the delightful village of Combe Raleigh – has been lovingly converted to retain many of its original features, including dark wooden beams, flooring, and exposed white-washed stone walls. Each of the two bedrooms offers excellent views over the private Italianate courtyard and top lake that makes up part of the sprawling thirty-two-acre shared grounds, providing the ideal vistas to wake up to each morning. 

Enjoy breakfast in the traditional country kitchen before you head out for the day. Wander the acres of lawns, woods, and pasture, as you take a leisurely stroll around the lake with your furry four-legged friend, or venture to the nearby Honiton – a historic town packed with antique shops, and great bridleways for scenic walks. What’s more, Exeter – with its well-known racecourse and cultural centre featuring a beautiful cathedral – isn’t far away either. 

For dinnertime, return home, fire up the barbecue, and dine alfresco in the Italianate courtyard, which is accompanied by lake views. When the evening grows chilly, head back inside via the large wooden entry doors. Then, slip into the soothing waters with the Victorian slipper bath, or curl up on the sofa, cosy and warm in front of the electric wood-burning stove. 

Heart of the Harvest

Parking On Premises

Perched in an elevated position overlooking the peaceful rolling scenery of fields home to animals grazing, nature-filled woodland, and a hilltop 15th-century church on the horizon – this home frames its designs around the magnificent views before you. Keen to draw your attention to the picturesque natural beauty here, the host even supplies a pair of binoculars so that you can search for animals and owls, in particular, flying through the night sky. 

With luxurious home comforts throughout, the space feels like a warm hug as you retreat here after a day in the countryside. From log burner fireplaces to underfloor heating (on the ground floor) and an array of cosy blankets – cuddling up here couldn't be more humbling. 

In addition to comfort, convenience and practicality are also at the heart of what makes it so special. For example, you'll find a boot room and utility area, handy for storing your raincoats and mucky shoes after a countryside stroll or adventure in the likes of Exmoor National Park. Just a few hundred metres away from the village of Bishop Nympton, you'll find a village shop and post office should you need them. Meanwhile, the market town of South Molton is only a 3-mile drive away, where you'll find an array of independent shops and a supermarket. 





Fields of Peace 

Beyond a quiet courtyard and a weathered stone path, this modern countryside retreat feels like a secret worth keeping. Set in the gentle landscape between Taunton and Wellington, it invites you to live at a slower pace, think sunrise coffees in the garden, afternoon walks through the Blackdown Hills, and evenings with a book by the fire. The barn’s reverse layout brings light and air into the vaulted living space, while downstairs, two en-suite bedrooms provide a sense of privacy and calm. Whether you’re exploring cycle routes, teeing off nearby, or simply soaking in the views, it’s a peaceful, playful spot with everything you need for a restorative rural escape.

The Wildwood Wing

This Grade II listed house on the edge of Taunton dates back to the 1850s. There are over two acres of land and it boasts beautiful countryside views from the huge windows inside. High-ceiling rooms feature huge fireplaces and chandeliers like the manor homes of old and there’s room for big celebrations in the banquet-sized dining area. A dedicated kids’ playroom lets you know it’s family-friendly and the kitchen is warmed by an Aga in the winter months. Outside, you’ll find a private hot tub, endless lawns, a tree swing hidden in the woodland and countryside rambles right on your doorstep. 


Garden Reflections

Perfect for a romantic rural retreat for two, this home drops you in the heart of nature. While the owner lives in the neighbouring home, you won’t be disturbed, and with 8 acres of private woodland to explore, you won’t get bored here. Keen to relax and just soak up your surroundings? Head to the private lake, a bottle of wine in hand, for some quiet time with your loved one. If you’re lucky, you may even spot some local red deer and otters, too. 

Wildflower Letters

This exquisitely renovated bakehouse provides a sweet escape amidst the glorious rolling hills and wooded valleys of East Devon. It sits in the lovely village of Musbury, within walking distance of the local shop and pub and just a twelve-minute drive from Lyme Regis and its spectacular Jurassic coastline. 

The interior strikes the perfect balance between contemporary comfort and authentic charm. Look closely, and you'll spot ample inklings of this home's storied past, from the beam-clad ceilings to the Juliet balcony, where flour bags were once hauled from the loft below. On the first floor, the open-plan living area is blessed by heaps of natural light, offering a free-flowing canvas of calm with lofty vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and partially exposed stone walls. Plush sofas huddle around the wood-burning fireplace – a lovely space for chilly evenings – while the fully-equipped kitchen and diner offer direct access to the garden. Enclosed for privacy and boasting a lush lawn, the outdoor space beckons you to unwind in the fresh air. Let the dog roam free here and, after long walks through the countryside, fire up the barbecue and gather on the pretty terrace for a delicious alfresco feast.

This seventeeth–century property overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the seaside town, Brixham. Situated next to the charming harbour, you're only a short stroll away from the waterside. Head up the three-tiered garden to admire the view from atop. You'll be greeted with clear skies, the hum of the waters, and the sounds of the harbour. 

The large windows throughout the home light up the space as you play on the vintage arcade table that offers the classical Space Invaders and Pacman. Whoever gets to sleep in the Captain's Cabin bedroom gets a gorgeous view of the surrounding harbour right from the comfort of their own bed – imagine waking up next to that blissful sight every morning.

The beautiful yet convenient location makes this the perfect place to reside on a family getaway to a seaside town.

If the gentle trickle of water helps you relax and you're a lover of the great outdoors, this fabulous home is sure to delight you. Right next to a narrow part of the River Harbourne, which leads to the Dart, it's a converted fruit barn with bags of character and more than its fair share of chic styling. 

Built around 1825 and once a rubble ruin, the home has been completely modernised, with plenty of contemporary luxuries blending with the building's original structures. We love the extended kitchen and dining space, where beams and exposed stone walls give way to gunmetal grey patio doors and a glass ceiling.

Designed to be cosy for four but with the option of adding two children in the spacious master suite, it's a beautiful home with several standout features. As well as the modern log burner in the sitting room, there's the private garden beside the river, the high-spec kitchen, glamorous bathrooms and comfy beds. Plus a friendly local host who'll be on hand with tips and recommendations about the area.

On the outskirts of a village near Totnes, you'll be ideally positioned to access all of the South Hams easily by car. And keen walkers can head off to Totnes, Tuckenhay, Cornworthy and more. There are two good pubs within walking distance and the nearby Sharpham Estate has a great farm shop.

The living area has an open-plan layout ideal for socialising, while each bedroom is as comfortable as the next.
