Getting to Somers Hiscott was interesting via the narrow lanes so reading the instructions supplied carefully you will eventually find it. The house itself was very impressive and inside was immaculate. The kitchen was very well equipped with all that you would probably need. The dining area was big enough to accommodate everyone even though the chairs seemed to be a bit low to the table. All the bedrooms were immaculate and the beds arranged as requested even had soap and towels provided.
The house is quite isolated so you had to make your own entertainment or had to drive to Westward Ho or Bideford for things to do.

Beautiful home. Owners communication was top notch. We were three families who love to cook, and it was perfect for us. The tvs were a bonus, the wood-burner a great addition. Beds comfortable, absolutely loved it and would go again.
