Welcome to our charming countryside retreat! We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you for a delightful and rejuvenating stay at our property. Nestled in a tranquil valley, our home offers a perfect blend of comfort, relaxation, and natural beauty, ensuring that you will have a memorable break.

As you approach our property, a picturesque drive of approximately 100 meters leads you to our doorstep. The serene ambiance is enhanced by a gentle stream that runs along the property's border, setting the scene for a peaceful getaway.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a tastefully decorated and well-maintained home that exudes warmth and character. We take pride in preserving its original features while providing modern conveniences for your comfort. Equipped with a 65-inch and a 60-inch Smart TV and smart speakers throughout the house, you'll have everything you need to stay connected or unwind with your favorite shows and music.

Enter through the main door and porch, and you'll find two welcoming spaces. To your left is the lounge or evening room, adorned with a wood-burning stove, where you can cozy up with a good book or watch your favorite movie on the Smart TV. The adjacent formal dining area with a charming Rayburn oven invites you to enjoy a delightful evening meal, making it the perfect setting for memorable moments with loved ones.

On the other side, you'll discover the kitchen and day room, thoughtfully designed to cater to your culinary adventures. With a large central island for cooking and entertaining, you'll find all the amenities necessary to prepare your favorite dishes. The abundance of windows and French doors in this space ensures stunning views of the gardens, filling the room with natural light.

Throughout your stay, you can enjoy our high-speed internet, boasting speeds of up to 100 mbps, ensuring seamless streaming and connectivity.

Upstairs, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm and views. The Pink room boasts a Super King bed with zip and link options for your convenience, while the Green and Silver rooms feature inviting King-sized beds. The White room, perfect for younger guests or teenagers, can be adapted with a teepee and entertainment options for their enjoyment.

The spacious bathroom is a haven of relaxation, featuring a large cast iron Victorian bath with a refreshing rain shower overhead. After a day of exploring the countryside, there's nothing like unwinding in the bath while gazing out of the French doors or stepping outside to the top lawn area.

For added peace of mind, the upper garden and house area are enclosed with secure fencing and gates, making it ideal for families with pets or young children.

If you love outdoor activities, our front lawn is a vast open space where you can engage in a friendly game of cricket or football. As the evening approaches, gather around the large fire pit to toast marshmallows, enjoy a glass of wine, and make lasting memories.

As night falls, you're in for a treat. Our proximity to the dark skies and Exmoor National Park provides the perfect opportunity to marvel at the awe-inspiring Milky Way. You can simply relax, listen to music, and stargaze from the comfort of a chair.

Parking is plentiful, and despite the peaceful seclusion of our property, you're less than a mile away from the vibrant village, offering easy access to local amenities.

During your stay, keep an eye out for our adorable hedgehog visitors, and if you wish, feel free to leave food for them to enjoy.

Other things to note
At our property, we absolutely adore our four-legged friends and understand that they are an integral part of your family.

For a nominal fee of £30 per dog, your first furry companion can enjoy the comforts of our home for the entire stay, with each additional dog charged at just £20.00 (up to a maximum of 7 days).

Upon arrival, your beloved pups will receive a special welcome gift, ensuring they feel just as pampered and cared for as you do during your stay.

To ensure the utmost comfort and cleanliness, we kindly request that dogs are kept restricted to the downstairs area only. This helps maintain the pristine condition of our upstairs spaces and ensures a serene environment for all guests.

We understand that sometimes dogs love to snuggle up on the couch, so we've thoughtfully provided blankets to protect our soft furnishings. Feel free to use these to create a cozy and comfortable spot for your furry companions while you relax in the lounge.

For your convenience, we've placed water bowls around the house to keep your fur babies hydrated and content throughout their stay. Plus, we have a dedicated fenced area where your pups can stretch their legs and play in a secure and enjoyable environment.

Rest assured, we take hygiene and cleanliness seriously. Our linen is outsourced to a reputable laundry company that uses high-temperature machines, ensuring all linens are hotel-quality and free from any unwelcome viruses or allergens. Additionally, the entire house is professionally cleaned by a commercial company, so you can enjoy a pristine and fresh living space during your visit.

So, pack your bags and bring along your furry companions for a delightful countryside adventure. Our property is the perfect place for you and your fur babies to unwind, explore nature, and create lasting memories together. We can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with all members of your family, including your beloved pets!

Tucked away oasis
Lovely rustic property, owners very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Gave some feedback about having a hand held shower over the bath and they were already planning to do something. Having lots of baths instead though was very relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.

Wow! What a find!
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. What a find - a complete retreat! This house is absolutely beautiful, located in the most idyllic spot. The grounds are stunning and you are literally located in a beautiful valley surrounded by woodlands and a babbling brook! The house was immaculately presented however it felt homely so you could relax. The bedrooms are gorgeous - all with beautiful views. We settled in immediately and enjoyed every minute! Our host was the best host ever and we have stayed in a lot of places! The attention to detail was incredible and much appreciated. If you are looking for a relaxing hideaway, then you couldn't ask for more.

A holiday haven
The Woodlands Estate was the perfect destination for two families to come together and enjoy a few days of relaxation, adventure and fun with all the delights of North Devon countryside and coast at our fingertips. The house was clean and spacious, beautifully designed and decorated with lots of quirky, exotic and home from home touches to delight both adults and children. Encouraged to delve in drawers and cupboards and help ourselves to anything we needed, we came across extendable marshmallow forks, games and tealights - no detail had been overlooked. Outside, we had front row seats to nature's stage, where we had the pleasure of watching a kaleidoscope of birds on the feeder, hedgehogs visiting at night and dark star-crammed skies. The owners, Shelby and Saffron, were delightful, always on hand to provide assistance, with exciting and creative plans for the site...watch this space! They also - very kindly - hosted a meet and greet with the children and their gorgeous gang of goats. We managed just fine between the seven of us and one bathroom - and what a beautiful bathroom it was. Thank goodness we didn't let this put us off staying here - the positives more than made up for it! Unfortunately the pub in the village is temporarily closed but we ate at The Sawmills nearby, reasonably priced pub meals with a Tex Mex vibe. We really didn have to venture far for our entertainment. Climbing down 200 steps to Broadsands Beach felt like landing in a tropical paradise. Watermouth Castle, the harbour and delicious cream teas at 'Storm in a Teacup' opposite, amptly filled an overcast afternoon. Coombe Martin offered clear, crystal water for swimming at high tide and magical rockpooling on a falling tide with mouthwatering pasties from the butchers and shops like 'Moor to Sea' selling handmade toiletries and trinkets to keep us busy in between. We also took an exhilerating 2hr wildlife rib tour with Ilfracombe Coastal Cruises, stopping to spot seals, geological features and hear stories of local history and legend. And that was all without even going near beautiful Exmoor or the stretch of sandy North Devon beaches on our doorstep. A quick detour to Quince Honey Farm, just outside South Milton on our way back down the North Devon link road to the M5 was the perfect way to round up our stay. Thank you for a magical holiday in beautiful Berrynarbour!

The approach to the house is not inspiring - a broken house sign and untidy path with corrugated iron for fencing in places. Many broken and missing exterior tiles adjacent to side door entrance. A short welcome note with a little local info on walks / recommended places to eat would have been helpful. The wine and milk were a nice touch. Kitchen very tired and fridge light not working. Couldn't find a tray and oven very dirty. Otherwise kitchen well equipped. The bedrooms were nice and towels and bed linen all well laundered. However it was not made clear in the details that the only toilet was in the one bathroom and this is clearly not up to modern standards. There is no shaving point and no hand held shower attachment for washing one's hair. We met the owners who were charming and helpful and are obviously working very hard to update the house. We feel that overall, although the setting is beautiful and tranquil, the house needs further renovations inside and out and is not yet ready to be let to holidaymakers. Kate and Graham Jones

We have returned to Berrynarbor after 25 years to restore the house and make it an amazing holiday for families and friends to get away from it all . We have acres next the property and we are trying to restore the grounds to turn it into orchards and rescue some goats and chickens , knowing my daughter we will have a few more .
We intend to work on the property for the next few years , adding more and more for example hot tubs , games rooms and put back the original back of the house of another bedroom , bathroom and hall . We look forward to having you at the house as it has been a family home for a long time . We have amazing memories for this place and we look forward to you having them too. It’s a hidden treasure .

It is what we call home , no matter where we live in the world .
The house is 7.5 acres of grounds in total
The house is built in 1910 , we have kept as much of the original features as possible .

What makes this property unique

Hidden away , yet so close to everything. You hear the stream from the house which borders the property . It’s lovely to have a coffee on the veranda and look at the views, It’s breathtaking .
We love to open the French doors, it brings the outside in .
It is hard to choose where to stay , since launching Late October 2021 we have had five star reviews . The house is not perfect ! It’s comfortable … including the beds I have been told .Having space for all the family . There different areas for everyone to either be together or have some quite time .
