    “What an absolutely fabulous holiday cottage.”

    Prior to our arrival communication was great. Access was via a very narrow lane opening into a large gravel driveway with plenty of room to park. We had 3 vehicles. The house itself had a key safe which was easy to use. We were greeted with a bottle of fresh milk, a bottle of wine, biscuits and coffee pods. The owner had thought of absolutely everything. lots for our 4 legged companion in the way of treats, towels and toys. The ground floor bedroom and en-suit were amazing and perfect for ...

    Prior to our arrival communication was great. Access was via a very narrow lane opening into a large gravel driveway with plenty of room to park. We had 3 vehicles. The house itself had a key safe which was easy to use. We were greeted with a bottle of fresh milk, a bottle of wine, biscuits and coffee pods. The owner had thought of absolutely everything. lots for our 4 legged companion in the way of treats, towels and toys. The ground floor bedroom and en-suit were amazing and perfect for our disabled mother-in-law. There was every kitchen utensil you could think of and basic condiments. The games room was fully stocked and kept us entertained for hours. The only downfall inside, was that the upstairs Jack & Jill shower refused to drain, even with the help of a plunger we managed to find so we needed to shower in 2 minute breaks to keep letting the water drain which wasn't ideal. The upstairs loo's didn't fully flush then frequently 'gurgled'. I wasn't able to get a connection to the mobile provided so muddled through as it was only a 2 night stay. Outside was as fully equipped as the inside with lovely outdoor furniture that we were able to utilise due to the gorgeous weather. There was a huge deck and the view was as far as the eye could see. The garden itself was huge too and beautifully maintained. All in all a great weekend in this beautiful home.

It is surrounded by glorious Devonshire countryside with views across to Dartmoor!

It is 3 miles to the market town of Holsworthy: here you will find a small selection of shops including a Co-op, a good sized Waitrose, bakery/ tea shop, a butcher, post office, health food shop and a few good take-aways.

There’s even a small golf course and swimming pool.

Being only half an hour from the beautiful Dartmoor National Park and 9 miles from the seaside town of Bude and Widemouth Bay, the choice is yours for that perfect day out.

There is plenty of wildlife to be found in the garden and surrounds including birds, rabbits, hedgehogs, badgers and even a deer or two.

Surrounded by stunning rural views, and 2 acres of private land, South Honeycroft thatch offers a delightful and flexible home away from home for up to 8 guests; ideal for family gatherings, friends or multiple couples.

The downstairs bedroom is a lovely large room with an en-suite wet room.

It has French doors opening out onto the decking; perfect for morning coffee from the lavazza coffee machine!

he extensive lounge/ sun room has two double doors which open out into the large decking where you will find plenty of comfy seating- perfect for a relaxing evening glass of wine! Switch on the fabulous charbroil barbecue and cook your lunch or supper; or take a turn in the large hammock!

However, on those cooler days/evenings, why not snuggle up on the huge sofas with some snacks, hot chocolate or a cheeky glass of red and watch a movie in front of the roaring fire, still enjoying the views as you do so?

Why not have fun in the games room?

Perhaps game of pool or table tennis or flip the table over and have a game of air hockey?

And of course there is the PlayStation; settle in to the cosy beanbag or futon and let yourself go!

There are lots of books to read, games and puzzles to play and plenty of information about the attractions nearby, so you can plan your next days outing.

So whether you’re here to have a lovely peaceful relaxing time or are keen on exploring the local towns; moors, coastal walks, or beaches, we wish you a very happy holiday in this lovely part of Devon.
