Charming accommodation in lovely grounds.

We had a wonderful stay in 'Spacious House for 8 in Combeinteignhead'. The cottage was very clean, tidy and spacious, with a choice of kitchens and gardens! The owner is very kind and friendly and left a lovely surprise to welcome us. The village and surrounding countryside are beautiful, and there are two pubs within walking distance. I honestly can't fault this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Would definitely book again.

A beautiful house in a great location. I couldnâ??t quite grasp the size before arriving but it feels huge. The addition of the pool is great - the kids loved it. Iâ??d definitely recommend it.

Darren

We had a lovely time at Spacious House for 8 in Combeinteignhead, Jill and Nigel were very welcoming and we loved the little touches such as cream tea on arrival. House was clean and tidy and full of character. Great local pub with good food just a short walk from the house, and another by the water within walking distance. Our daughter had a great time in the swimming pool, she struggles with crowds so having a pool to ourselves really helped her improve her swimming skills.
