Alice and Luke are excellent "hands on" hosts and ensure everything is perfect. We were 6 adults and 4 children ( 3 months up to 5 years old ). Superb house with lots of room and lovely high ceilings. Lovely lounge and dining room, plus a great snug where kids can watch TV. Big bedrooms with excellent beds. Bathrooms clean with good showers, etc. Great kitchen that was fully equipped. Large games room useful for storing wet clothes. The kids a bit small to benefit from the table tennis table and the table football table....will come back when they are a bit bigger.
We used the indoor pool and indoor play area a lot...weather prevented much use of the nice outdoor play area with trampoline, etc. Having our own hot tub was a treat at the end of the day.
Feeding the animals ( alpacas, goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, geese, rabbis and guinea pigs ) every day was a huge hit with the kids. Alice helped ease the kids into the routine so they lost any fear or inhibitions. Animals all very friendly.
Combe Martin village and beach is walkable but a bit of a trek back up the hill. Great beaches ( like Woolacombe ) and pretty towns ( Lynton, Lynmouth, etc.) nearby, plus some excellent walks like the Heddon valley. The kids loved the train ride at Woody Bay. Further afield,
Highly recommended accommodation, we will be back in a couple of years..
