Excellent accommodation for a large group

We absolutely loved our stay at High Park House - the gardens/grounds and space are stunning and work brilliantly for a large group (we were 14). There are very small things that we noted that are ways to perfect (so not complaints) - move fridge closer to the kitchen, cords for the blinds to be brackets, vacuum under beds and bit a bit more thorough with cleaning as some dusty/cobwebby corners and plugholes, outside front patio could do with a clean, fix the second bulb in the swimming pool and ease departure by half an hour. These are all small things but they don't detract from the fact that the property is fantastic and has a great set up, the pool and the trampoline were a huge hit with the children and we'd definitely go back which we've not said about a property before! Thanks so much to Paul and Anne-Louise for a really lovely and memorable stay, we loved it!

Super Devon Getaway

This house was a fantastic find for our family get together. Spacious and fully equipped, we wanted for nothing. Beautiful grounds, well kept and away from any road noise. Local supermarket close by and easy access to the A39 to assist with access to beaches. We had such an enjoyable stay, I would definitely recommend.

High Park House - The Bee Family

Very easy, straightforward booking, check in/out instructions, use of pool times, etc. we all had the most amazing time there and discovering all the surrounding places. We loved the Milkiost, just down the road. We would highly recommend High Park House for any large family/families holiday or celebrations!

Excellent venue and location...

I highly recommend this house, great location and loads of room for all of our party of 16. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The house is 15 minutes from Westward Ho beach and Appledore.

Fantastic place to stay

We spent an amazing week at High Park House from the 28th July. There were 14 of us including 3 young children. The house is lovely and big with fantastic amenities and a very nice big garden with a trampoline and a BBQ. The house is so big going from one end to the other is like a workout! The toys in the house for young children are a godsend. We had my 3 great nephews with us ages 2, 4 and 6 who had a great time playing with the toys which were all there for their enjoyment, there is a huge selection! We all loved the swimming pool and hot tub and made good use of it. There is a lake in the garden which is completely fenced in and secure, you have to use a keycode to get in. The house was exactly how we expected it and what we saw in the photos is exactly how it is. Its got everything you need and more. There is an Asda supermarket 5 minutes drive away so convenient for all the shopping that you might need. I would recommend Westward Ho! beach if you have children as its only a 10 minute drive to get there. I also have to say that Anne-Louise and Paul are very friendly and helpful and were always around if we needed to ask any questions or were not sure about something. Cannot recommend High Park House & Barns enough, fab place and area to stay.

Exceeded all expectations

The house was presented in immaculate condition and the owners happily accommodated our special requests. We spent Christmas at the property and the owners provided two decorated Christmas trees along with a welcome cream tea and wine hamper. The amenities were amazing especially the swimming pool which was maintained at 31 degrees. The house was always warm too. Excellent location near to coast. Would definitely like to return!

Amazing stay in North Devon

What a fantastic house.......we hired this huge property for a weekend with our large family......16 of us in all. It's a beautifully kept place and and so much room available and the facilities are excellent. Kitchen is vast and full of all the amenities needed, 2 big lounges, lovely dining room, boot room, utility room, soooo many bedrooms which were all very clean and tidy and lovely soft mattresses. The weather for for was poor, but no problem at all.......just got into the wonderful new indoor pool which was so warm....almost like a bath. This is a top place and I would recommend to anyone.

Family week

15 of us stayed for a week in October. The house was very clean , there was a welcome basket of essentials plus some home made scones, bread. The bedding and towels supplied are of boutique hotel standard. The kitchen is well equipped which helps when catering for so many people. The pool is lovely although there are only three chairs provided for people wishing to spectate and there is nowhere to hang towels etc . Some of the bedrooms could do with mirrors placed near plug sockets to make it easier when drying hair and getting ready. The conservatory was unusable due to an infestation of flies which also affected the bedroom above by making it impossible to have the window open.

Best Family Christmas

This house was brilliant for Christmas as there was plenty of room for all of my large family. It looked really Christmassy when we arrived as there was a real tree up in the hall way. The house is stunning and all the bedrooms are huge. There is plenty to do and we even ventured on the beach on boxing day. Having a log fire in the lounge was really cosy. The house was lovely and warm – thanks for the tour of your bio mass heating system. It was lovely being all together and the toys, books and games left in the house were great. What a great Christmas! The house was absolutely beautiful and I would thoroughly recommend a stay!

Fantastic house and pool

My family and I had a fantastic time here. The house and rooms are massive! We really enjoyed both sorts of pool – the indoor pool which was a great hit with the kids and also the pool table which was a great hit with the adults in the evening. It was also lovely to have a couple of catered meals. The gardens are huge and the kids enjoyed exploring around the lake. Would def recommend it to friends and family looking to get away together – great idea having 2 lounges – one for kids and one for adults. We will be back!

Family holiday 2024

We first stayed here in 2023 for a week in August, We liked it so much that we came again this year (July 2024) It is a huge house, more than enough room for all 12 of us and our 3 dogs The bedrooms are massive, the bedding is lovely quality. The kitchen is well equipped, with room to dine in as well, if you don't want to use the dining room. The grounds are well kept with lovely views at the front and plenty of parking space. We loved having the use of a swimming pool and hot tub, in particular. Just along the road is a fresh milk Kiosk where you can buy milk, eggs and create your favourite flavoured milk shakes, this was a big hit for the children. The location is perfect for a peaceful retreat, with the benefits of shops, restaurants, tourist attractions and lovely beaches very close by. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this holiday venue is that it might prevent it being available for us to come back again. Thank you to Anne-Louise and Paul for being such great hosts

Wonderful place for a family celebration!

I hired the Big House aka High Park House to bring my disparate family together to celebrate my parents 80th Birthday. There were 14 of us aged between 12 and 82. The house fit us perfectly especially with the large kitchen and farm table, the easy access to the swimming pool and hot tub, and the additional rooms for those needing space and quiet time. The owners were approachable and welcoming, with good communication. We found ample outdoor locations to have a family photo shoot to commemorate the stay. All local amenities ie supermarkets and beaches are close by, by car.

Best weekend away

We had the best weekend away celebrating an 80th birthday. There were 14 of us, the house was plenty big enough and we all enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really well equipped, the beds were super comfy and everyone slept really well. The pool game, swimming pool and hot tub was a hit with everyone! The welcome basket was a really great feature, the scones were really yummy! The owners were lovely and they made sure we had everything we needed, they also showed us around the accommodation and facilities. The location of the house is perfect, it was lovely and peaceful but you aren't too far away from shops etc! We will definitely be back, thank you for a lovely weekend 😊

Biggest and best house we have ever stayed in. Beautifully presented with more than we needed. We loved it. T We were there for a family get together for a 50th birthday. Ages 8 to 72 and one small dog. Space was amazing. Swimming pool and hot tub across the garden. We didn't want to go home! Peaceful rural setting but close to Bideford and lots of places to visit by car. We would recommend it highly.
