Grange aménagée dans un cadre magnifique, South Devon

Set in the beautiful Devon countryside the property was lovely. Lots to do for the children, they loved the pool and the games room. Plenty of space for a family to have an amazing holiday.

Lovely cottage in lovely vicinity, with great on site facilities. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby.

Pretty semi-detached cottage set in the grounds on Stancombe Manor. All form part of a conversion with many small apartments and two cottages. Great to have the facilities of a lovely swimming pool and games room within the complex. Very quiet and peaceful area. Iris Cottage was an ideal base for touring South Devon and we were fortunate not to have snow as we would have struggled with our car on the nearby steep, single track roads. The accommodation is basic and cosy. There were 4 of us for several nights and we all felt that stretching it to 6 people would have been cramped. Probably fine during sunny weather as you would be outside more. Kitchen is well-equipped and showers were powerful. TV is small with a few stations and not the best picture although we are not massive TV viewers. A wardrobe in the upstairs bedroom would have been useful although there really isn’t room. We really enjoyed our stay as it was quiet and peaceful. No-one was next door until the last night when we could clearly hear them.

4 adults and 2 young children. Weather was beautiful so had lots of time on the beach.

When we had one dull day we discovered there was much to do on site. Stancombe Manor has a pool which is great, games rooms which are fantastic and outdoor areas which are wonderful. Our 2 children (ages 5 and 3) had a ball.

Ian (caretaker) was most helpful and interesting with history of Stancombe Manor.

Only downside was on day of departure, the cleaners arrived early and put unnecessary

pressure on us to go.

We arrived on a sunny day, which always helps, but were here for a few rainy ones as well and with a dog and baby we had no shortage of things to do in all weathers. The cottage was clean and well stocked with the basic. The fridge is small but as long as you know that you can shop as needed. On the way to Slapton sand there is a great farm shop which does meat and fish on Friday and Saturdays plus all the other provisions and we had two tesco shops delivered. Although it is best to give them guidance of where they need to go when they arrive as it is not clear where the cottage is on the grounds. The games room has loads of things to keep young ones occupied and the pool was warm and we managed to get our 1 year old to start swimming (with a bit of support) changing facilities at the pool are not great for wriggly babies but we just took him down from the cottage wrapped in a towel. I think this place is perfect, remote enough to feel away from it all but still able to get things delivered including excellent Indian food (details on the folder in the cottage) and near enough to Kingsbridge to get anything you have forgotten. Loved it and we hope to be back soon!
