Beautiful romantic converted Stables, far from the madding crowd, and hidden away in rolling Devon countryside and green fields. The property is modern, warm, with all mod cons including a walk-in shower, log burner, ultra-modern kitchen and underfloor heating throughout. It was a carefree and chilled holiday throughout, and we absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.

What a lovely review, thank you! We’re so pleased that The Stables gave you the peaceful, carefree break you were looking for. Being tucked away in the Devon countryside is one of the things we love most about RyePark House, so it’s always wonderful when our guests enjoy it just as much. We’d love to welcome you back.

This is a one of a kind luxury apartment set in a peaceful valley a short distance from the North Devon coast. Fantastic amenities/facilities, extremely comfortable, an enviable shower room and terrific support from the Hosts. Do take up Maria’s suggestions for the local Gastro pubs. Having stayed in numerous holiday lets as a preferred way to travel, this apartment may well be the very best yet.

Super accommodation in lovely location

We had a great stay here. The accommodation was very well-equipped and luxurious, with a huge bed, wet room with bath and excellent shower, kitchen with everything that was required, and well-lit comfortable sitting area with TV, games etc. Maria was extremely helpful and we couldn't have asked for more. We would certainly be happy to stay here again.

Stayed here with my partner for our first getaway together and it truly was the best decision!The location is stunning, they have such a beautiful property set away from hustle and bustle where you can truly unwind. It's also close enough to any major locations in north Devon which again is another selling point.The property itself is well fitted, the bathroom in particular is incredible. That in combination with the effort Maria and Steve go to is what makes this place second to non! From the in depth welcome documentation with anything you could ever need to know, to the hamper on arrival, it's truly special.Overall, I'd recommend this stay to anyone looking to get away for a long weekend, or even longer. We did 4 days. It was enough to see all of the surrounding areas while still having some time to relax.

Staycation 23

The stables has provided us with exactly what we were looking for great accommodation and tranquil surroundings. Maria and Steve have put so much thought into the finish within the Stables, it’s amazing. Everything is completed to the highest standard. We have stayed at a number of cottages over the past decade and in our opinion the Stable is the best accommodation that we have stayed in . This was our first time in North Devon and even though the weather was not the best this did not detract from our experience, with there being plenty to do within a short drive

The perfect honeymoon

We were lucky enough to stay in the stables for a week after our original honeymoon to New York was cancelled. It is a really beautiful property, converted to a very high standard with everything you could need for a comfortable stay and lots of personal touches to make it feel very special. The surrounding woodland is just magical to explore and the property is tucked away and so peaceful yet easily accessible and near to the stunning North Devon coast - the perfect location. We even got one clear night and could star gaze on the patio! Maria was so welcoming and friendly, we felt instantly at home. Thank you so much for helping making our honeymoon so special and memorable, we will definitely be back!

Perfect

We adored it! The Stables was so comfortable, absolutely, spotlessly clean and very stylish. Everything you could possibly need had been provided by Maria and Steve and the welcome hamper and flowers were so thoughtful. We loved the walk down the the river even though we didn't make it over to the other side. It was just so peaceful there. The private outside area was also comfortable and peaceful. The location is just right, close to beautiful Exmoor and the very interesting coast. Barnstaple for supermarket shopping wasn't too far way. Maria and Steve were perfect hosts, friendly and discreet but always there if you needed them.

Schon bei der Vorbereitung des Urlaubes wie auch beim Aufenthalt in Rye Park wurden wir sehr professionell und herzlich begleitet. Die Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Wir haben uns sehr "willkommen" und wohl gefühlt. Wir konnten entspannen und unseren Urlaub genießen. Dazu beigetragen haben die sehr netten Vermieter, die z.B. gute Tipps vermittelt haben, aber auch die sehr hochwertige luxuriöse Wohnung, die mit vielen liebevollen Details ausgestattet wurde (z.B. frisch gepflückter Blumenstrauß,Willkommenskorb mit Leckereien,tolle Badewanne,bequemes riesiges Bett) und die atemberaubende Natur (Ruhe,Vogelgezwitscher). Wir würden diese Wohnung auf jedem Fall weiterempfehlen.

5 STAR RELAXATION *****

Not only is this property beautifully furnished to a very high standard but Maria & Steve provided a very warm & friendly welcome aswell as providing some very informative tips and information to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The Stables is located in a woodland/farmland area but is only approx 20mins from the nearby town and coastline with a variety of activities/ places to visit. Overall a very relaxing experience with beautiful surroundings and outstanding accommodation - You will not be disappointed in choosing to stay here

OUTSTANDING

The Stables is by far the best rental accommodation we have stayed in. The directions provided were clear and accurate, and the Guest Guide file was comprehensive & complete. We were greeted by the very friendly host with various welcoming items too long to list (examples include Prosecco, a bunch of beautiful wild flowers, scones with strawberry jam & clotted cream - to name a few). The furnishings, appliances and utensils are all impeccable and there are special thoughtful touches everywhere to make you feel welcome and at home. The bed is big and comfortable and there are more than enough towels including bath sheets which were very welcome after relaxing in the beautiful big bath. We enjoyed a wonderful week and will certainly be back in the near future.

Fantastic escape from everything

My wife and I wanted a short break to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and everything going on in the world and Maria and her property were just what we needed, we are even looking at booking again and taking my wife’s grandparents. The stables cottage was fab it had everything , Maria took us out to meet and feed the sheep and gave us a background of the property, recommended places to eat and see , we walked through the woods on the day we left and I was provided with some boots again by Maria as I didn’t have any!! She was a fantastic host and we were made to feel very welcome highly recommend
