Rosebriar House The South West
A Devon gem for an idyllic family holiday
Gorgeous views, period details and modern luxuries; Rosebriar House is a North Devon gem that you won’t want to leave. This characterful house, close to the coast, is perfect for a multi-generational family holiday. Make yourselves at home in both the east wing and, through a hidden bookcase door, the west wing, making full use of the two kitchens, eight bedrooms and three lounges. Get together in the formal dining room or main lounge, complete with wood burner and plenty of squishy sofas.
Outside, the terrace overlooks 20 acres of grounds to the valley beyond. Enjoy the views from a sun lounger or the private hot tub, before exploring the estate, stopping off at The Lookout for some nature-based meditation. For the children, there’s a private games room as well as a shared soft play area and outside play areas with climbing frames, a wooden Wendy house, and a trampoline (shared with four other cottages on the estate). Add to that, the shared heated indoor swimming pool, badminton court, football pitch and pitch n putt golf, and there’s something for everyone. Meet the animals on the estate too, including free-range chickens, alpacas, pygmy goats and more. You can even cuddle up with the rabbits and guinea pigs!
Rosebriar House is also just five minutes from the sandy beach at Combe Martin, a sheltered cove perfect for rock pooling, kayaking and SUP.
On sunny days, fire up the barbecue, then later, toast marshmallows on the firepit and stargaze across the dark skies valley. The bedrooms, when you’re ready, offer the same relaxed luxury as the reception rooms, with a sleigh bed here, a carved oak four poster there and a mix of elegant ensuite and family bathrooms.
With its period charm, inviting interiors and unrivalled location, Rosebriar House will capture your heart and give you the space to make memories.
