About this cottage rental

Hollands is a grade II listed, 16th century thatched farmhouse set in an acre of beautiful, mature gardens in a secluded North Devon valley. Located 5 miles from dramatic National Trust coastline, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO biosphere reserve, this really is a wonderfully unspoilt, undiscovered part of the South West. 2 miles from the historic market town of Bideford, we are close to lots of local attractions: beaches, cliff walks, fishing villages, moors, great pubs, working farms. This family home is full of character and period features. The main house dates back to the 1500s and is of traditional Devon long house construction. Oak beams, cob walls, ledge and brace doors and even horse hair plaster in some rooms are complemented by fresh Farrow and Ball colours, quality antique furniture and paintings throughout. With contemporary bathrooms, LCD TVs, broadband wifi, DVDs, board games, etc, every creature comfort has been considered.

Brilliant house for three families sharing, the mature gardens made for great fun for the kids playing hide and seek and an Easter egg hunt. The house has tremendous character, a real gem. Close to beach and plenty of theme parks and activities nearby, would definitely book again.
