Set among three acres of rolling fields, this Grade-II listed manor in North Devon is an unforgettable countryside retreat. There’s something for everyone here, whatever the weather – a cocktail bar for the grown-ups, a cinema room to keep the little ones entertained, and a wood-fired hot tub in the garden. The large patio is complete with a dining table for meals alfresco, though if you don’t fancy cooking, your host can arrange for a private to rustle up something tasty. The location of this home is perfect for exploring the county’s wild side, from its rugged cliffs and expansive beaches to its sleepy villages and traditional pubs.
