  We have just returned from a week's stay at this beautiful house.

  There were 8 of us in our family group - 6 adults plus a 14yr old teenager and a 5 yr old child. We were absolutely delighted when we arrived to find an immaculately clean and beautifully presented house with loads of space inside and a lovely area outside for everyone to enjoy. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless and everyone had plenty of room to relax with no worries about queuing for bathrooms or taking turns in showers. Although my husband and I don't like to use hot-tubs, the rest of the family loved it and it certainly looked super clean and well maintained - as was the whole property. The furniture was plentiful for our large group and the decor was lovely with some quirky touches around! We had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend for a family holiday. The communication with the owners couldn't have been better - any questions were quickly answered and they were most helpful. We had 3 large cars between us and there was no problem fitting them all onto the driveway (the lane outside though is quite narrow!) We walked into the small town most nights where there were plenty of shops, bars etc. Squires fish and chips must be sampled! We were also very lucky with the weather - 7 days of sunshine - and we went to the nearest 3 beaches - Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe - all delightful (apart from too many dogs on Saunton Beach!) It was all just fabulous and, if you are considering making a booking here, then don't hesitate - it's perfect and you'll LOVE it!

  Stayed at the old coach house for a week as a family 13 (7 adults, 5 kids, 1 baby) for my father in law’s 70th birthday.

  What an absolutely stunning property! It was everything and more that we could have wished for! There was ample room for us all, the beds were super comfy, the living room was big enough for us all to sit and relax, the crab shack and hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed by the adults and the kids! We honestly couldn’t have found a more perfect place, my father in law was absolutely over the moon! Having the separate dining room worked perfectly for the night we hired a private chef as a surprise, the food and service was incredible and I’d highly recommend doing it for a special occasion! The only thing that would have also been great was having a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs as well as the top just because we had 2 very adventurous little boys that love climbing lol! But it was no problem, there were enough eyes on them to stop them going up! Overall a perfect stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

  The Old Coach House was excellent.

  The whole family enjoyed our stay there from our grandchildren (6,6,9 & 10) and their parents to myself and my wife. The house was extremely comfortable, it had just about everything we could wish to have. There were plenty of cups, crockery and cutlery for all twelve of us. we didn't use the laundry room, so I can't comment on that but the kitchen was great; two large ovens, brilliant induction hob, gas wok ring, large sink and a surprising instant hot water tap. The garden area contained a hot tub that was used daily and a large picnic table for twelve when the weather is warmer. Also the 'Crab Shack' was a great surprise, i'll say no more. The drive was big enough to get 4 cars on. Ok there may have been a bit of shuffling of cars at times but no one found it to be a problem. We chatted with the owners (next door) who were friendly and helpful. I can't recommend The Old Coach House highly enough.

  This is indeed a quite superb property ideally situated, immaculately clean with all the comforts of home .

  ...plus much more ! We were made up of 4 couples + 1 with differing taste, I guess, on style and design ....yet the hosts Allison and Paul have 'pulled together' a very tasteful and quirky array of furniture & additions making it so comfortable, unique and fun. The outdoor space coupled with the spacious rooms easily accommodated us all, noting all bedrooms were indeed on the large side. The kitchen is worthy of special praise with designer units, worktops and all facilities required. The property is located within easy walking distance of the Town so the ample car parking space saw all our cars safely parked away for the long weekend. The hosts have done a fantastic job in making this a quite superb place to stay and enjoy. Having some experience in the hospitality field I can only be in awe of what has been achieved here.

  This property was everything we had hoped for and more!

  We were a party of 6 adults and 3 children, ages 8 (twins) and 12 and we were celebrating my 70th birthday. Everything was perfect and we especially liked the quirky touches, especially in the Crab Shack and ET overlooking the hot tub (which had plenty of use)! The owners live next door and are friendly and helpful but never intrusive. Our Grandson loved the Xbox. The bedrooms were lovely, and the number of bathrooms meant we were all able to shower and get ready at our leisure. The weather was very kind for the beginning of April and we were able to visit beaches at Saunton, Woolacombe and Puttsborough which are all nearby plus trips to Lynton & Lynmouth and beautiful Clovelly. This property is superb and the owners should be very proud of what they have achieved in renovating this wonderful house.
