Family-friendly holiday rentals in Devon

We had a wonderful stay at Bridesmere over New Year and it was just what we needed. Peaceful, beautiful area, lovely comfortable home from home. We appreciated the enclosed garden for our spaniel, the beautiful and spacious bedrooms and the living area which was large enough for all 7 of us, two families. WiFi was strong upstairs so no issue with all of us connected and the tv had all apps we needed to watch films with no buffering. There is a beautiful walk through the forest along the river just minutes from the house which leads to a very nice pub serving good food. As other reviews mention, the kids room smells a little musty/damp but this was not a huge issue and we opened the bathroom window after showering which helped. Kitchen well stocked but knives are a little blunt! Children loved the games barn and not having to bring bikes with us was really helpful and appreciated. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay and we would definitely return. Thank you for having us.

We had the perfect Airbnb getaway! The location was absolutely lovely, with a relaxing hot tub and a cozy fire to unwind by. The host was fantastic, making our stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely visit again.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful private rural cottage. We had walks on our doorstep for our four-legged family member, and the hot tub was a treat. Definitely highly recommend to family and friends 🧡

we stayed here for 4 night early January while working in the area a.d felt very much at home dispite the freezing weather the home was warm. cosy and comfortable so.much so I'm booking again to come with the family

Had a lovely comfortable homely stay in such a well thought out place. Thank you so much to Sam and Karen for taking my last minute booking and hosting me.

A beautiful home in a lovely village! we had a perfect weekend away exploring the moors and trying the local pubs and cafes all walking distance in the village. I would highly recommend staying here. the house was spotless and clean and the hot tub was perfect ! holls recommendation were great and very helpful, she made us feel very welcome. we would definitely stay again.

We had the pleasure of staying at Cedar Lodge to celebrate my mum’s birthday & it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a peaceful location with stunning views, the lodge perfectly blends rustic charm with modern luxury. The beautifully designed interiors, cozy furnishings, and thoughtful touches are what made our stay extra special. The hot tub on the south-facing deck was a highlight, offering a perfect spot to relax. Every amenity was provided, making it feel like a home away from home. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend Cedar Lodge at Lower Coombe Royal for a relaxing getaway. A big thank you to Julie & Paul for going above & beyond! 😊

The house was gorgeous, perfect location for walking to the beach & pubs. Had everything we could need & more when it came to cooking our Christmas dinner. There was even a Christmas tree! Only disappointment was the hot tub not working but these things happen. Would highly recommend.

Just returned from a few days at the Bunkhouse. We had a great time start to finish. Jill kept in touch, making checkin and out very straightforward. The accomodation was clean and tidy and everything was as expected. The location was great for exploring the north Devon area, and it was so peaceful. We also enjoyed some star gazing, being away from town lights, the views were spectacular. We also enjoyed meeting the donkeys, who were very friendly. for shopping there is a Sainsburys at Bude, not too far away. We also tried the local Inn at Bradworthy, great food and reasonably priced. All in all this is a great place to visit, we would recommend to others and will visit again in the future 🙂

My second stay at Wagtails and highly recommend especially when staying with dogs. Took advantage of the enclosed dog walking area this time and it was great, high secure fencing and the dogs loved it. Lovely cosy cottage with everything I needed. Will definitely stay again.

Myself and my friends had a lovely stay at Fish Cottage. It was calm and cozy, the fireplace was the biggest highlight for us. It was a lovely surprise to have a welcome bottle of wine! If you're looking for peaceful, quiet, secluded and just wanting to nest down for a few days, this is the ideal place.

We had a very relaxing, peaceful few days in Eva and Richard's cottage. The best part was waking up to such lovely views and the sound of woodpeckers, a song thrush and buzzards. They were excellent hosts, so friendly and welcoming. The weather was beautiful even in early March and despite cold nights it was very cosy and warm in the cottage. The walk to Hope Cove beach was lovely. We had a delicious meal at the Old Bakery in Kingsbridge which was Mediterranean tapas. Wish we could have stayed longer!

As a family of 2 adults, 1 child and a dog we have just come back from a really lovely stay at Sousson's barn. So peaceful, relaxing, friendly and cosy. Just what we needed. It was spotlessly clean, very welcoming and everything we could need was provided. We enjoyed the woodburner in the evenings and looking through the books on Dartmoor farming and history and playing games together. We all slept really well and enjoyed watching the farm animals and the wildlife around the barn. Thankyou Steve and Tessa for a really wonderful trip.

We had a lovely "away from it all" stay. Lovely walk down bridlepath ( coming back up was a little harder) to the lovely pubs in Exford. Easy drive to Minehead, Dunster and Dunster beach. The cottage is in beautiful surroundings and loved the small holding with horses, ducks, chickens and sheep. We left refreshed and will hopefully return in the future. 🙂

We had a lovely time at the Rock Shack, it was our first trip away with our pup and he’s absolutely exhausted after 3 days in the fields and the beach down the road. The shack has everything you need for a mini break, the hosts were great and very accommodating. The scenery is lovely & a great pub less than 2 minutes away. Would definitely recommend and we hope to come back soon!

Beautiful location highly recommend Jamsine cottage home from home and the host is amazing. could not fault anything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the pictures do not do this place justice, as it is much bigger than the pictures show. The annex was very clean and spotless. Ian & Katka (Hosts) were very proactive, friendly and welcoming and went the extra mile. The swimspa and hot tub are an absolute amazing feature of the property along with the balcony and views. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again.

A delightful stay in wonderful surroundings, views are sublime, home from home facilities, dog friendly property with lots of walks, well equipped kitchen although we didn't really cook as there are so many restaurants and bars to try! Julie ensured we had everything we needed and communicated well. look forward to a return visit when we have a bit more time to enjoy ourselves.

the stay was wonderful very peaceful and a loverly setting. however when attending the local Supermarket for provisions on both occasions the shop and staff within stunk of drugs to the point where I mentioned to the assistant/ shop manager of the smell who retorted that "well I can't stand the stink of wine". clearly the smell of drugs is acceptable to the users and staff which I find abhorrent. we therefore spent the remainder of our break away from the local town and stopped using as a convenient place to purchase provisions. other places of interest and areas which were within driving so this did not spoil our break and enjoyment of our stay.....

The 4th time we’ve stayed at Little Burston. The cottage has everything you need, is lovely and peaceful and private. Carol is a great host and responds promptly to any issues. A lovely stay as usual.

lovely stay, place was better than the photos made it look. beds were very comfy. Iona was very responsive. would recommend to friends and family.

We booked Mistletoe Farm for a stag do, and it couldn’t have been better! The location is fantastic—secluded enough to enjoy ourselves without worrying about disturbing anyone, but still close enough to Chard and surrounding areas for pubs and activities. The accommodation was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed. The hosts were welcoming and gave us great recommendations for local spots. The hot tub were absolute highlights—perfect for relaxing during the day and unwinding in the evening after a big night out. If you're looking for a unique and memorable place to host a stag weekend with a mix of fun and relaxation, this is the place! Would definitely recommend and return!

Excellent communication with Emily from the get-go. The place was as described and you didn't want for anything appliance wise, as it had everything available that you needed. Really nice touch with the biscuits and toiletries. Excellent arrival instructions, which were clear and concise. Would definitely stay there again if we were in the immediate area.

This is a great, well-equipped, central Woolacombe place to stay. I would not recommend it during high season if you don't like noise as it's right above a restaurant/bar, but for off season it's perfect. The view is spectacular and it's easy to walk to numerous restaurants, the beaches and the local shop. The host communicated well - the instructions were clear for locating the property, check-in and check-out - and she was easy to contact. We didn't have any issues, but it felt like if we had, the host would have responded quickly. Her messages were also were friendly and welcoming.
