Perfect family house
Excellent accommodation across 3 floors with plenty of bathrooms. Weather was amazing so kids (and grandparents) were in the pool every day and it was so warm. We all had the best time.

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

Court Barton House
Absolutely loved our stay at Court Barton House. Family from 17-60 years. We were lucky we had the heatwave in early September so we couldn’t have picked a better time to be there. We generally went out in the mornings, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, or just shopping in Salcombe. The location is great, yes it is very narrow lanes but we live in the Staffordshire countryside so this is normal walking for us. South Milton is the best place to watch the sunset, absolutely stunning. We also went to the Beach House for drinks after, was perfect. Hope Cove just down the road, very pretty, also great for paddle boarding as is Kingsbridge. We spent every afternoon in the pool as it was very sunny and later in the evenings we toasted marshmallows and star gazed from the hot tub. Very tranquil, We played crochet in the garden and cricket and used the dart board, pool table and cinema room, as that was the coolest room in the house. Their were a couple of fans upstairs which were a godsend. The kitchen was very warm though due to the aga, which in usual British weather I’m sure is very cosy. The ruins of the church next door are beautiful, worth a look around. Would definitely recommend and stay again, easy check in and out and great communication with the host. Loads of room to play outside and the pool area also has seating, a pool house with inflatables and a bbq. All in all 5 stars, a great week away.

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.
