The detail

Coulscott House offers large groups a charming and restful break in North Devon, mere moments from some of the county's most stunning beaches and the wilds of Exmoor. The House accommodates up to 15 guests, making it ideal for big family holidays, or large groups of friends. When it comes to relaxing, there is a private hot tub at your disposal, and firepits, meaning you can all gather round and enjoy a drink whilst staying toasty long into the night or cosy up round one of the three log burners inside whether in the grand drawing or dining room or cosy lounge.

This marvellous home sits on an extensive estate that has a wide array of fabulous facilities. Guests will love the heated indoor swimming pool, whilst kids will have hours of fun in the indoor soft play area and extensive outdoor play area with large wooden pirate ship and wendy house. You may also wish to wander the pretty grounds, taking in the views, and visiting the friendly animals including alpacas, pygmy goats, lambs, kune kune pigs, runner ducks and guinea pigs.

Coulscott House has two grand kitchens that are well equipped with everything you need to whip up some delicious feasts for your group, and there's also a long farmhouse kitchen table and grand dining room to ensure dinner times are a joy. One of the kitchens is a huge, spectacular social space that is built around a big island unit. This kitchen has everything you need to cater for your entire group, including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, espresso/cappuccino coffee machine, microwave, and a five hob Range cooker with double oven. Or if you’d rather let someone else do the catering (and the washing up!) Coulscott’s fabulous private chef can serve up a gourmet tasting menu or sumptuous three course meal with a fabulous west country cheese board..

This beautiful home has large social living spaces and two comfortable sitting rooms where you can relax in front of wood burning stoves with your loved ones or gather around the Smart TV for movie nights. There is also an additional snug for teenagers or younger children to hang out in. To the front of the main kitchen sits an enormous garden games room, equipped with table tennis and darts, that has wide glass doors that open up onto the terrace. The decor has a classic feel, and the furnishings offer a homely touch that guests will love.

There are a number of comfortable bedrooms on offer, some of which have en suite bathrooms for added privacy. Each room comes with super comfy beds and some offer guests commanding views out down the valley. You'll love flinging the curtains open in the morning and soaking in the surroundings and a perfect spot to take advantage of Coulscott’s masseuse. Some bedrooms feature super king sized four poster beds and others are smaller featuring the wooden beams and tasteful furnishings that give the home its rustic charm. There are a number of bathrooms on offer, one of which is a delightful oak beamed, marble lined family bathroom. This luxurious space has a glass walk-in shower enclosure, a roll top bath, and wash hand basin. There's also a ground floor twin bedroom with en-suite and separate downstairs toilet for added convenience.

When it comes to socialising you can gather in the living area, or outside in the sunshine on the vast terrace. Be sure to walk the extensive grounds, soaking in the views, before going for a dip in the heated indoor swimming pool. Kids will love the indoor soft play area, and the large wooden outdoor play area, as well as the games room, which has a table tennis table and table football. Throughout your stay you also have access to an honesty shop for additional provisions, a huge fire pit area to make marshmallow memories, and electric vehicle charging point.

Nearby, the choice of scenic walking trails and beautiful beaches will be more than enough for some wonderful family days out. Guests can try their hands at watersports locally, or simply relax on the beach, soaking up the sun. Beaches that are a 'must-visit' include Woolacombe (Sunday Times Britain’s Best Beach 2021), Croyde and Saunton Sands, among many others. There is also plenty of adventure to be had for kids of all ages, such as horse riding, sea kayaking safaris, surf lessons, coasteering, wildlife parks and more.
