Family stay in Bideford

11 of us stayed here for my dads 70th birthday weekend and we couldn’t fault the house at all. Very well equipped and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and the hosts were lovely and friendly.

Super Devon Getaway

This house was a fantastic find for our family get together. Spacious and fully equipped, we wanted for nothing. Beautiful grounds, well kept and away from any road noise. Local supermarket close by and easy access to the A39 to assist with access to beaches. We had such an enjoyable stay, I would definitely recommend.

Celebratory family holiday

Family holiday of 3 generations, we all enjoyed our stay. The indoor pool and hot tub were a big hit with everyone and the games room with the pool table provided good entertainment in the evenings. Lovely grounds for outdoor use. Would recommend to anyone with a large group.

High Park House is a wonderful property for a self-catering holiday.

Our family (age ranges 4years to 79 years) found that High Park House suited all their requirements. It is a well maintained and equipped property set in lovely grounds which are great for children and adults to enjoy. There is even a trampoline for the children. The indoor swimming pool is an excellent amenity. The owners are friendly and very approachable. We hope to be able to visit again.

Wonderful place for a family celebration!

I hired the Big House aka High Park House to bring my disparate family together to celebrate my parents 80th Birthday. There were 14 of us aged between 12 and 82. The house fit us perfectly especially with the large kitchen and farm table, the easy access to the swimming pool and hot tub, and the additional rooms for those needing space and quiet time. The owners were approachable and welcoming, with good communication. We found ample outdoor locations to have a family photo shoot to commemorate the stay. All local amenities ie supermarkets and beaches are close by, by car.

Wonderful Stay

Thank you for an excellent week at High Park House. It was a big family reunion and the house swallowed us up no problem. The kids enjoyed the space and playing pool, picking apples and generally having fun. There’s also so much to see and do right on the doorstep - cycling, surfing, going to the beach and walking. Of course having the pool for them to let off a bit of steam or for us to go for an early morning swim was also superb. Thanks

Best weekend away

We had the best weekend away celebrating an 80th birthday. There were 14 of us, the house was plenty big enough and we all enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really well equipped, the beds were super comfy and everyone slept really well. The pool game, swimming pool and hot tub was a hit with everyone! The welcome basket was a really great feature, the scones were really yummy! The owners were lovely and they made sure we had everything we needed, they also showed us around the accommodation and facilities. The location of the house is perfect, it was lovely and peaceful but you aren't too far away from shops etc! We will definitely be back, thank you for a lovely weekend 😊

Excellent accommodation for a large group

We absolutely loved our stay at High Park House - the gardens/grounds and space are stunning and work brilliantly for a large group (we were 14). There are very small things that we noted that are ways to perfect (so not complaints) - move fridge closer to the kitchen, cords for the blinds to be brackets, vacuum under beds and bit a bit more thorough with cleaning as some dusty/cobwebby corners and plugholes, outside front patio could do with a clean, fix the second bulb in the swimming pool and ease departure by half an hour. These are all small things but they don't detract from the fact that the property is fantastic and has a great set up, the pool and the trampoline were a huge hit with the children and we'd definitely go back which we've not said about a property before! Thanks so much to Paul and Anne-Louise for a really lovely and memorable stay, we loved it!

Family holiday 2024

We first stayed here in 2023 for a week in August, We liked it so much that we came again this year (July 2024) It is a huge house, more than enough room for all 12 of us and our 3 dogs The bedrooms are massive, the bedding is lovely quality. The kitchen is well equipped, with room to dine in as well, if you don't want to use the dining room. The grounds are well kept with lovely views at the front and plenty of parking space. We loved having the use of a swimming pool and hot tub, in particular. Just along the road is a fresh milk Kiosk where you can buy milk, eggs and create your favourite flavoured milk shakes, this was a big hit for the children. The location is perfect for a peaceful retreat, with the benefits of shops, restaurants, tourist attractions and lovely beaches very close by. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this holiday venue is that it might prevent it being available for us to come back again. Thank you to Anne-Louise and Paul for being such great hosts

Excellent.

Biggest and best house we have ever stayed in. Beautifully presented with more than we needed. We loved it. T We were there for a family get together for a 50th birthday. Ages 8 to 72 and one small dog. Space was amazing. Swimming pool and hot tub across the garden. We didn't want to go home! Peaceful rural setting but close to Bideford and lots of places to visit by car. We would recommend it highly.

The house suited our needs perfectly and we had a lovely week with all our family together. The kitchen is really well stocked with all cooking and baking items, plus plenty of crockery and cutlery, as well as cups and plates for the children. There was plenty of space for the children to run around, and we all loved the pool and jaccuzi.

The Best Holiday Home we have stayed in!

High Park House is in a league of its own. So well proportioned, decorated and equipped. We had everything we needed. Anne-Louise and Paul were perfect hosts and I couldn't recommend this place enough. The swimming pool was the icing on the cake, a perfect place to go to meet up with all our family. We very much hope to return as we're all having withdrawal symptoms!
