A wonderful family celebration in a beautiful home and location
A wonderful family break, so much to do for all the family. Sue was most helpful, her advice and communication was wonderful. The house was everything we could ask for and everything had been thought off. The holiday was a great success, thankyou so much.

Devon Country House Stay
Beautiful house which is perfect for a large family group ranging from young to old. Well appointed and lots of separate spaces for to allow granny to escape in the evening. Very dog friendly and very close to beaches. Beware tight country lanes with passing places if thats not your thing but no problem for us. 10/10

Amazing
CBH is a real ‘home from home’ we were a family with ages ranging from 2 yrs to 65 yrs and the house and facilities worked for us all. Lots of reception rooms which gave us all a place to be. The kitchen is a great place to congregate and so lovely to be cooking on an aga… ( there is a job and another oven available) The kitchen is really well equipped and we cooked at home rather than going out most days. The pool and hot tub excellent and there are loads of indoor and outdoor games available for whatever the English weather throws at you. The beds are really comfy and bathrooms clean and spacious and there is always loads of hot water. South Milton Sands is a stones throw away and Hope Cove too for beach days. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be returning.

Perfect for family holiday
A beautiful house in a lovely location. The whole family (from 8 to 87 years old) had a wonderful week. Even on the rainy days, there were plenty of things to do in the property. It’s so rare that we all get together as a family so thank you so much for the happy memories.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Morris

Host profile image
We fell in love with this property as soon as we were through the gate. Over the last few years we have totally refurbished the house and added the pool. It is truly the perfect bolt hole for me and my husband, 3 grown up children and extended family. We are based in Surrey but come down regularly for long weekends.

Why they chose this property

We have been holidaying in the South Hams for the last 15 years and in 2009 decided to buy a property as we loved it so much. Over the last 7 years we have had many happy holidays and celebrations with friends and family at our home.

What makes this property unique

The magic of this house is the total peace and tranquility that washes over you as soon as you arrive. My daughter says this is her most favourite place in the world.
