Staycation in beautiful Devon
We had a fun and relaxing stay in this beautiful house in an idyllic location just outside Cheriton Fitzpaine village. The view from the house was wonderful to wake up to and the children had a blast in the pool which was clean and well maintained. We also enjoyed the outside pizza oven followed by an evening wallow in the wood fired hot tub. There is also a well stocked games room in the basement which kept the children entertained when they weren’t in the pool. The house is charming and spacious and though the furnishing is not modern it is perfectly comfortable and has a beautiful kitchen with an aga (and electric ovens) and sliding doors onto a lovely terrace with plenty of seating. The owners were also very responsive and helpful and invited the children to collect eggs from the duck in the field just behind the house which was a lovely touch and a novel experience for them.

We rented this place as we wanted somewhere out in the countryside to get away from it all, and Homecroft couldn’t be more perfect. The house itself is very spacious and clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely big rooms, kitchen and lounge and even an amazing games room downstairs that kept us entertained every evening. The gardens are incredible, totally secluded and well maintained but with some rustic charm, and the pool and hot tub area just topped it all off. There’s a small village about 1/2 km away with an epic pub, but other than that you feel like you got the whole of the Devon countryside all to yourself, don’t think we saw another person the whole time we were there. Iain couldn’t have been a better host and the whole process was really straight forward. The check in process is all remote as well so you can turn up whenever you like which is an added bonus. Huge thanks to Iain for letting us stay at this beautiful property, we had the best time and I hope to be back again before to long.

Beautiful home.
Had a great week in this amazing house. Iain was fantastic beforehand with my endless questions and during our stay if we had any queries. The house is fantastic for a large group. The children had a blast playing in the pool , games room and the mud kitchen. The outside area of the property is amazing. We made full use of the bbq, hot tub, pizza oven and fire pit. The cost of wood mounts up but is clearly noted in the information. The house really has everything. A lovely terrace area with a stunning view. The beauty of the house is the outside area. I have seen other reviews comment on the bedrooms - I would agree the bedrooms downstairs are a little dated but they are clean and we had such a great week outside this did not bother us at all. The kitchen and living room are a great space. It really is a unique property and having searched thoroughly before booking there was very little else if anything that could offer what this house does and it certainly met up if not went beyond our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend. Thanks Iain for a great stay.
