"Wonderful property. Disappointed with the hot tub which took 2 days to fill and heat. We booked the property because there was a hot tub. Everything else exceptional."

About this house rental

A former reservoir, Woolbrook Reservoir hides itself beautifully at the top of a quiet lane in a pretty Devonshire suburb, its smart bricked drive concealing something truly fantastic. This is a celebration home like none other; uniquely designed and jaw-droppingly beautiful, where luxury and playfulness combine into one superbly spacious package.

With a smattering of Alice in Wonderland, its long storm-blue entrance hall and series of doors is all mystery and drama, but unlike the heroine in the story, you won’t need to drink a potion to discover what lies beyond. Simply pull back the handle and step straight into the magic, where an incredible interior framed in sky-high glass wraps itself around a stop-you-in-your-tracks light-filled atrium. Here you’ll find a space filled with beauty both natural and man-made, where the sun’s rays can be soaked up from morning until well into the evening. There are nooks to steal away to if you like time on your own including a weight-training room/gym, and sprawling spaces to converge in for time together like an enormous high spec kitchen/diner, games room and barbecue area.

On the ground floor, three sets of French doors can be thrown open to make the entertaining space bigger, while at roof top level an established garden has lawns to laze on, paths to explore, and a sweep of decking with its own bar and wood-fired hot tub. Practically speaking every ‘t’ has been crossed and every ‘i’ dotted with a host of amenities and entertainment features provided to keep kids (and grown-ups) busy while lunch sizzles away on the fire. And when the weather doesn’t play ball, the fun won’t need to stop with a table tennis table as well as a huge outdoor lounge suite to sit under cover overlooking the atrium.

Positioned to offer not only privacy but also some of the best views in the area, this wonderful home, though secluded, is less than a mile and a half from the Regency town of Sidmouth so it’s perfectly located for exploring East Devon’s Jurassic coastline. Pop into town for a bite to eat or pack a picnic and head to the beach for a day of sunbathing or SUP-ping. For avid walkers there are river walks to enjoy as well as the South West Coast Path whose various routes showcase dramatic views of the area’s iconic red cliffs and bay.

For guest’s safety, Woolbrook Reservoir has a motion sensor Ring Doorbell, which records guests and visitors when approaching the front door

The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

Excellent check in and kitchen. Broader facilities require some small changes - more sun beds (including some upstairs) and bigger, better bbq for a house accommodating 12-16 people. Would also recommend aircon in the kitchen. Overall a lovely stay, just some improvements possible.

A truly unforgettable stay at Woolbrook Reservoir! Nestled just outside Sidmouth, this former reservoir turned architectural masterpiece felt like stepping into a secret world.  The place accommodated us all comfortably across six spacious bedrooms, each showcasing its own style.  The open-plan kitchen and entertainment area, was great for group dinners and as a social space.   Outside, the garden and the rooftop was the highlight -  a drinks bar, sun loungers, ping pong and pool tables, great for keeping all of us entertained and happy! Location-wise, Woolbrook is tucked away quietly but only a 1.5‑mile stroll from Sidmouth’s gorgeous seafront, cafés, and coastal paths - perfect for day trips.  Woolbrook Reservoir isn’t just a stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting something truly special in Devon!

What an amazing place. Greeted by a very lovely welcome hamper with couple of bottles of Cava and a very well equipped and beautiful property. Everything about the place was great. Couldn't fault it. Really clean inside and out with so many facilities and just a real one off place, ideal for a group getaway. Met and spoke to the owners who are absolutely wonderful. Definitely be coming back again.

What an incredible place, from the moment we walked in we loved it. Woolbrook Reservoir had everything we could possibly want for our family getaway. Can’t wait for our next visit!

This is a lovely property. It is full of interest and has so much light and space in the house and plenty of interest in the central outside area and up in the garden (e.g. hot tub). There were 11 of us of all ages sharing a family occasion for a week. If anyone wanted to go and find some peace and quiet it was easy to lose yourself in this place. But there were also loads of areas around the house and outside for people to gather together, and a great hot tub. The big eating area next to the kitchen was superb for the evening gathering and the kitchen had ample cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. Bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable, although we felt that the two double futons (one in each of two rooms), would only be comfortable for children or a very light adults. The property is also an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area.

We booked this for a luxury wellness retreat on the basis that we would be making use of the outdoor spaces. The pictures made it look really amazing but the reality is the outdoor furniture was covered in mold, was really dirty, covered in bird poo. The games such as the pool table was old and looked like noone had looked after it. the outdoor chairs had no cushions on them and when we found them they were mouldy and unusable so we had to place blankets on all of the chairs before our guests arrived as well as sweep the lawn of all the crap and leaves to make it look presentable. It felt really disappointing. The higher level space near the hotub was ok but the bar again was tired and not appealing. The inside of the venue was amazing and we really enjoyed it. The unusual lay out and the finishes were great and the kitchen was lovely. All of the houseplants inside were in need of some care too. Lots of dead plants around. Which is not the vibe we were hoping for. Especially paying the premium price.

We had a wonderful time at Woolbrook. Its a stunning house which was perfect for our gathering of friends. The kitchen was the main area we used & it was well equipped and such a great space to host. We did however have a few issues with the house. The power kept tripping so we had no electricity upstairs at points over the weekend & that made it very cold as the radiators went off. The dishwasher was also broken which I messaged the owner of the house to let her know & got no response. I was quite surprised that we did not even get an acknowlegment or an apology. When you have a large number of guests, not having the main dishwasher working was a pain. The hob was also not working properly & beeped a lot! Overall we had a fab time and would love to come back to the property again.
