Description

 

Set in an idyllic location and steeped in history with parts of the farmhouse dating back before the Doomsday book, this versatile large family home is within a short drive of the stunning three-mile expanse of golden sands and surf that Woolacombe beach has to offer.  This fantastic holiday home boasts an eco-indoor heated infinity swimming pool and games room.  Outdoor Hot Tub taking in breath-taking views of the rolling countryside ideal for large family groups.  Children will be entertained all day without having to leave the home.  Surrounded by farmland with Alpacas grazing in the surrounding fields, with a family garden perfect for chilling in the evening sun with a glass of wine, children have an area to play with wooden play equipment and there is a rough garden area just for your pets.  If you like walking take one of the footpaths that will lead you to the Tarka Trail and head towards the Victorian town of Ilfracombe with its pretty harbour, which has some amazing eateries.

The spacious home is laid out over three levels with some interior additional steps and is filled with antiques and original furniture. The two upper levels have bedrooms and living areas providing space to get together or areas for quiet relaxation. The main entrance opens into the top floor where you will find the primary living spaces as well as two bedrooms (one with en-suite facilities).  You have a vaulted oak beamed kitchen with slate flooring which is extremely well laid out and equipped for those who like to partake in their culinary skills.   There is a good size dining table perfect for that cup of coffee in the morning to plan you day ahead.  You have the beautiful large dining room with two walls of bi-fold doors double doors that open out onto a patio area with stunning country views, this will certainly make the family gatherings enjoyable.  This area also has comfy seating and a woodburner making those cooler evenings more cosy.  The middle floor offers four bedrooms including a large loft master bedroom.  This delightful master bedroom is accessed via the reading room, with its own open plan staircase giving you an individual room in part of the house, with beautiful country views and direct access via a spiral staircase to the swimming pool area and hot tub.

Reviews

Quiet and relaxing area, owners accessible and very accommodating with anything. Would recommend to any family to stay, not just the swimming, bird watching, walking etc.

Ms L,

Lovely house in a great location. The grandchildren loved the Alpacas.

Mr L,

Just WOW! We had a fantastic holiday which catered for the whole family from our 23 month old granddaughter right through to our 79 year old mother. It rained one day and we were not short of things to do. The alpacas were beautiful and the owners of the property were both welcoming, informative and helpful. It really was a beautiful family home. We will certainly be wanting to visit again in the near future.

Mrs K,

The property is lovely and we would definitely stay again. The pool is exactly as in the picture and the hot tub was great. The bedrooms are a good size and comfortable. The property has everything you could possibly need and the owners were very reactive to any request for help we had. The alpacas were very cute.

Miss F,

Fantastic property suitable for all ages, especially family groups.Spacious, very comfortable beds and well equipped. Having the indoor pool is such a bonus and the new play climbing frame was much appreciated by our younger family members.

Mrs D,

Our party age range was 1 to 63, and we all had an awesome holiday. The pool is fantastic, views lovely, and the property gave a very homely welcoming feel. The cream tea on arrival was most welcome too. The Alpacas were a highlight too, the babies were so cute, and they're very entertaining. Thank you, we all enjoyed our holiday.

Mrs A,

We had a fantastic week at High View Farmhouse. The photos do not do it justice as the views were even more amazing than shown. The pool was bigger than we thought and was used several times a day every day. The alpacas were also a big hit with everyone, especially the 2 and 4 year old. We could not find fault with this property and would love to re visit in the future.

Mrs O,

High View was an excellent property for our three families because it gave each group a space of their own. It is comfortable and well appointed. The swimming pool and hot tub were fantastic and used every day. All of us fell in love with the alpacas and being able to get so close to them. The location of the house is in beautiful countryside yet close to lots of places to visit. We had a great holiday.

Mrs D,

Absolutely stunning setting and close to all amenities. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect family holiday.

Mr T,
