Family-friendly holiday rentals in Exeter

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.

Me and my partner have just finished our stay with alpine grove and would highly recommend visiting. We stayed in the woodpecker lodge and from the log burner to the hot tub everything about this lodge was perfect, Kieth and Serena service is amazing and we can’t wait to visit again soon. Thank you again for such an amazing stay.

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.

Such a peaceful location and the highlight is the hot tub which is very private - great to relax in while watching the sunset or stargazing. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with great facilities. We enjoyed a short local walk, a trip to Sandymouth beach (lovely cafe with great views) and visited Dartmoor. Would definitely stay again!

We returned because we loved it so much, and we will return again in the future... Perfect hosts, accomodation and location. ❤️

Brilliant house with stunning views and great amenities. Host was always quick to respond and very helpful with plenty of recommendations for local pubs and restaurants. Would highly recommend for any large groups or families looking for a long weekend away to switch off.

Simply can not recommend this place enough! The area is fantastic and having the opportunity to relax in a hot tub under the stars is something everyone should experience at some point. The property is in a lovey village with everything in reach. The local food and bar scene are equally amazing with Plymouth not too far away. A lot of culture to fit in, I wish we’d stayed longer. Holls went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable. And we will definitely be returning! 10/10.

We had such a lovely stay at the lodges, after not very many holidays having 3 young children this was the perfect fit. So much close by - farm park, beaches but also some amazing restaurants too. In the evening when kids are tucked up you can sit under the well styled and beautifully lit and thought out balcony watching the 'nightlife'. It was most certainly the break we needed and one we will remember for a very long time.

We had a lovely stay at Cotmore Farm, we were all warmly welcomed and the kids enjoyed getting involved on the farm. Located close to some lovely day trip locations including Mill Bay, Garra Rock, South Milton Sands, Hope Cove & Dartmouth. Would absolutely recommend. Thankyou for having us!

We have had a fantastic stay at The Swallows. This was our first family holiday with our two daughters, their partners and our one year old Granddaughter. The location was perfect and the accommodation had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean. We loved being able to use the pizza oven for cooking and the location was perfect to visit all of our favourite haunts. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

we just returned from a weekend at wagtails. We had a wonderful stay. Johanne was extremely accommodating. allowed us to arrive slightly earlier and a relaxed check out was given too! we stayed with our disabled dog and as the grass was a little to long for him to move around in Johanne even accommodated striming the grass for him! I couldn't fault the property. Everything was explained and we were greeted on arrival. the bathroom was a gorgeous supirse with a freestanding bath. we felt at home and able to relax at ease. The surroundings are gorgeous, our two year old loved exploring. We will definitely book again in the future. lovely hosts!

Hilary & Graham are great hosts, they made us feel home right from the moment we arrived. Property is exactly as described in a very good location with nice hill and valleys on all sides of the property. Nice backyard connected to a big garden for kids and dog to play. We would love to come back here again.

Just got back from Exmouth following stay in Kate's place. Really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed. Place was warm and cosy. First time away with dog and no problems. After a a day of walking perfect to come back to. Would highly recommend and will be on our list to return to. Jane and family

We had a wonderful stay at Tracey and Simon’s place. Really enjoyed our time and would love to return. Four of us were comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the living space and the outside seating area where we had our coffee and breakfast, overlooking the valley. Tracey was very welcoming and informative and we appreciated her local knowledge. Can’t go wrong with this place!

Delightful cozy cottage with gorgeous walks nearby and of course the magnificent Jurassic coast. Quiet, peaceful and the owner Melanie is full of local tips that help enormously. We brought our dog and found this part of Dorset to be fantastically dog-friendly.

We had a wonderful stay—this place is a gem. The view over the sea is absolutely stunning, with sunsets that felt like something out of a painting. Access to the beach made it ideal for our family of three (plus one very happy dog). Peaceful, comfortable, and the perfect setting to properly switch off and recharge.

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 Potting Shed is the perfect place to stay. The accommodation is well laid out and tucked away. Sam and Karen are friendly hosts but respect your privacy. We enjoyed sitting in the orchard area and were lucky with the weather. We walked to The Leather and Lace pub (10 min walk through the village), where we enjoyed a delicious burger. The pub is so interesting, full of retro accessories. The beer was well kept too. We enjoyed walking in the local area, visiting Glastonbury and walking further afield. Thank you Karen and Sam for your warm welcome and our generous goody basket, milk and local apple juice. We would definitely like to return. Mel and Simon

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

Had a fantastic stay at Pristhole which is very well located in the pretty village of Stokenham, close to two pubs and roughly halfway between Salcombe and Dartmouth. Iona is really friendly and welcomed us on arrival and showed us around the grounds which are extremely well kept and the apartment was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. As a family of four with two daughters (aged 8 & 7), it was all perfect and on our first night we enjoyed a really nice walk via Tor Cross to the Tower Inn in Slapton for dinner and subsequent trips to Salcombe, Paper Bird Island/Kingsbridge, Woodlands Theme Park, Dartmouth and the nearby Stokeley Cafe and Farm Shop; all of which were great. We might just have to break our long-standing rule of not going back to visit the same place by returning to stay in future in the hope of better weather.

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.

This place covers all the bases for a great stay for a big family get together! Excellent communications, nice welcome and then all the things to keep three families from ages 3-16 entertained. Private pool great, Games Room great, Hot Tub was spot on and actually hot (unlike so many that aren't)! Sauna probably needs some renovation love. Bedrooms great, enough space. Devonshire Arms nice food, Halfway House nice beer and vibes. All the ingredients for a place to kick back and have some much needed family time. Highly recommend!

Just come back from Mistletoe Farm after celebrating a Hen weekend there. We all could not fault the hosts, they were incredible & always checking if we needed anything, so helpful throughout the whole stay. Mistletoe Farm is beautiful & so peaceful. Plenty to do within the property. We all especially loved the pool/hot tub & also the karaoke machine was a big hit. It really is the perfect place either for celebrating a special occasion or a family weekend. We all enjoyed our stay & said it is a place we would love to go back to. Thank you again to the amazing hosts. Would highly recommend this air b&b 😊

We had such a lovely time at Sunset View. After a little blip getting started (which was very quickly resolved), we quickly settled in and felt right at home in Emily's comfortable and well thought out caravan. Devon Cliffs is a huge site but the van is in a great position in a quiet cul de sac so you're not 'on top' of other people. Only a 5 minute walk to the leisure area and shop and we had a lovely sea view when the sun came out! We really loved it and will definitely be back.
