Family-friendly holiday rentals in North Devon District

This has to be the best ever beachfront apartment we have stayed in. Spectacular views, spacious balcony, superbly equipped and everything worked without any hassle. The Leisure Club is an added bonus for me - brilliant pool, fitness equipment and the jacuzzi plus the outdoor terrace and restaurant with great meals, especially the (takeaway available too) fish and chips. The purpose of this trip was a holiday for my 94 year old Mother - above all the apartment was very safe/secure, accessible, the few steps to the 1st floor are manageable and the lift means getting into the apartment is easy. Totally recommend this apartment!

Trystan was an incredibly kind and helpful host, really accommodating and went out of his way to make sure all of the kiddies were happy and comfortable. If you’re looking for child friendly accommodation this is it, there is every kind of toy and car available for the kids to play with, very easy and a fun house to stay in. Beautiful gardens and a great location.

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

Fantastic weekend with the family to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversay. The house had everything we needed and kept the children entertained. Cath was really lovely and even baked us a cake for our stay which was very thoughtful. The view from the property was a highlight and we would definitely stay again.

What an amazing place! We loved the wood burner and all the possible activities: hot tub, heated swimming pool, tennis, table tennis, crash mat, kayak, trampoline , horses, goats, chickens, and much more! it's the perfect place for a holiday with the family, the whole estate is a destination in itself.

What can I say, 🤷‍♀️ the house was beautiful. Ticked all our boxes, and our host was amazing. Attentive and extremely helpful, thankyou Mark,I am sure we will be back 👏👏

Beautiful place for a family weekend. Rachael was very clear with her instructions. The jacuzzi was fantastic! Would definitely recommend for family getaway!

Lucy's retreat was a beautiful place to stay, the perfect couples getaway. She left local reccomendations, great directions, a birthday banner and even some treats for us, such thoughtful touches. Everything was perfect and spotless, great place to take our dog to. I couldn't reccomend this place enough thanks so much for a lovely getaway *****

Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends & family. We went as two couples and three dogs (Hungarian Vizslas), staying in the two neighbouring cottages, and it was idyllic. We had the smaller cottage. Quiet, cosy and clean. We did the vineyard tour and wine tasting with our dogs in tow, which was fab, then had dinner al fresco in front of the accommodation, accompanied by wine from the vineyard. As well as being free to walk our dogs around the vineyard, there are lots of other country walks nearby. Staying in such an old property and countryside location, I was very pleasantly surprised by the strong WiFi, TV with all streaming channels and powerful hot shower, these were the cherry on top after a day out walking. Word of warning to owners of dogs reactive to livestock, there can be cows or sheep in the neighbouring fields only a few feet from the front door, with a fence that could easily be jumped through or over. Not an issue for us but could be for others.

Jane and Bill are wonderful hosts. They do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They were really responsive without being intrusive. It was an additional bonus that they allowed us to use their lovely swimming pool, especially as we were lucky enough to pick a very warm and sunny week. The cottage is situated in the beautiful grounds of their house, but still very private with its own lovely garden. We would highly recommend staying here and would like to return as some stage.

Thyme cottage was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The cottage is characterful and comfortable and well equipped. The fireplace was a wonderful, warm touch. The village of Woodbury Salterton is charming and friendly and close to Exeter. The Diggers Rest is a must! Stop in for a friendly pint or even better for a meal. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Thyme cottage will be among our top stays.

absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

We were really impressed with Owl Barn Cottage. Beautifully decorated with a modern feel. We went with our two children and the books and games inside the cottage were a lovely addition to have at hand. The games barn and go carts in the courtyard was fun for them too. The garden area to the cottage was lovely with peaceful views of the surrounding fields. We loved the animals that were on site and Alex kindly let us meet and feed them too. The pizza night that Alex also hosts where you can create your own pizza and cook in the outdoor pizza oven was also great. We would highly recommend staying here as the location was only a short distance to explore some lovely beaches in the Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde area.

Jeremy and Paivy are the best kind of AIRBNB host I could ever hope for. They are thorough, patient and prompt with every aspect: From the equipment of the house, to transportation and grocery, to local entertainment and cultural spots. The house is generous in size, my two teenager daughters and myself each had a separate space. The kitchen is better equipped than many. The bathroom is not huge but easy to maneuver. We were soaking in the charm and warmth of British countryside for 10 days. Jeremy's farm house gave our country life a note of sophistication, and a genuine sense of goodness. We returned home fully rested and thankful.

One of the most comfortable and well equipped accommodations I have ever stayed in. The house is a real home from home. Tricia really went the extra mile with welcome scones, tea and chocolate!!! All the little things like the fresh flowers in the house really made it feel so welcoming. An absolute gem.

Bolthole - “a place that you can go to when you want to get away from your usual life and escape from other people” This is exactly what you get. With a cosy atmosphere and stunning view in the heart of one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Plenty to do and ideal for doing nothing. Loved it.

We had a lovely week at Alpine Grove touring park. Clear communication from Keith. The space was very clean and had all facilities needed for our stay. Our toddler also really enjoyed the swimming pool! Would definitely stay again. Loved it

I stayed at Katka’s place with my 2 sisters and 2 cousins for the weekend. Katka gave us a tour of the accommodation on arrival and explained some simple rules on using the pool-spa which were very helpful . We had an absolutely fantastic time here , her place was very nice, clean and spacious for 5 people. We really enjoyed the pool-spa area , taking the covers off was a real giggle and putting them back we laughed more, so be careful. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the sea front , where we found lots of cafes . We had an evening meal at The Crab Shack which was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was really lovely and sitting looking out at the sea was a bonus. Thank you Katka for making us feel welcome, oh yeah and thank you for the cakes on our arrival, delicious 😋 Will definitely recommend your accommodation to other people and look forward to to seeing you in the future Kind regards Jane & family 🤗

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Priesthole Cottage. Access to the larger grounds of the main house and the heated pool were the icing on the cake. Beautiful peaceful surroundings, characterful comfortable cottage, great host in Iona, and the wonderful town/area of Stokenham & Torcross. Thank you Iona!

Had a great weekend over Easter at Jan’s place - a beautiful garden - the kids loved the trampoline and pool - we cooked BBQ outside our Accomodation kin the peaceful garden - had great fish and chips and a cider in Watchet - the nearest harbour town (10 min drive) - we also visited from the house; quantock hills (15 min drive) killer beach (15 min drive) minehead (40 mins) and linmouth - beautiful drive over Exmoor. Would definitely come back

I booked this wonderful property for my best friend's hen do. 10 of us stayed here and hired the property for the weekend. We paid for the garden games, escape room, wine tasting and bbq use for one day. We had the most amazing weekend, we had an entire packed itinerary for almost every hour of the whole weekend from everything available on site and had the best time, we almost didn't have enough time to enjoy every amenity. Not only was the property expansive and full of activities ,even if we didn't pay for extras, but the hosts were incredibly welcoming. From taking time out of their own weekends to check we had everything we needed to setting up games, awarding prizes and giving the bride keepsakes for her wedding they couldn't have made us felt more welcome. Waking up in the morning there were horses, sausage dogs and incredible views paired with a kareoke room and a swimming pool. A site that can accommodate a plethora of activities, we would definitely revisit.

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at this property in Long Sutton. As returning guests, we were delighted to find it just as perfect as we remembered. The location is stunning, offering peace and tranquility, and the property itself is immaculate. This time, we particularly enjoyed the pool and sauna – a real treat! We can't wait to return. Many thanks to George and Gill for the amazing hospitality.

This is our first Airbnb stay, also our first stay taking our dog. Having read and turned down a number of other Airbnb places the ducks wing seemed to fit the bill (no pun intended). The garden is lovely and secure, the rooms are extremely quirky which we both liked, our dog loved it. We didn't make best use of the many facilities including the pool, BBQ etc. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden listening to the countryside. As I've said our first experience with Airbnb but we were very impressed.
