Birthday celebration weekend
Wow! What an amazing find! Great location, beautifully decorated and a very well equipped kitchen. We booked this house for a 50th birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. Everything was in perfect condition and the house was spotless on our arrival. The welcome basket was a kind gesture, stacked full of goodies. A big house with a relaxed cosy feel. Thank you for your prompt response when messaging. Would definitely recommend 100% 😊

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Liz Jones

Host profile image
Chris & Liz.
We live in the Cotswolds in England, have two kids now in their 20s, ran a Telecoms business for 25 years (now sold), met in 1980 and realised our dream of a fabulous coastal holiday home to enjoy in Woolacombe England (called Thorpe) and a Villa in Crete (called Caliz) and more recently a converted 17th Century barn & Annex in the Cotswolds (called Mulberry Barn) .
We enjoy running our small holiday lettings business ~ it really matters to us that guests have a great holiday experience.

Why they chose this property

Detached houses rarely come on the market in Woolacombe so when Thorpe appeared we snapped it up!

The location and views were the primary reasons for our decision. Thorpe had only been owned by two families since it was built in the late 1920's. Although rather tired we felt it had great potential so set about a complete redevelopment of the property. BBC1 featured Thorpe in their TV series about redeveloping houses.

What makes this property unique

Thorpe ticks all the boxes for us! Stunning views over Woolacombe's 3Km blue flag golden sandy beach yet only a short walk to the town centre.

A real family home that accommodates up to 10 people (sorry, no pets & non-smoking!) Thorpe is a great place to unwind and relax. Amazing walks from your door step, pubs and restaurants nearby, a few minutes stroll to the beach and even the UKs oldest nightclub (The Marisco 1967) in walking distance! A fabulous place to enjoy all year round.
We maintain Thorpe to a high level of decor and are delighted that our guests respect and enjoy it as a family home. It is not a party venue as the maximum occupancy is for 10 people. It is not suitable for under 5's (except babies) as there are many steps and a high level of decor maintained.
