“Absolutely amazing, the pics look amazing but when we arrived we were blown away.”

The extra little touches were lovely and made the arrival even better. Location- perfect, house- unbelievably beautiful Highly recommend and have to friends already but wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we head that way again, which we will as this property is a dream place with family or friends Nice little village shop and pub about 1/2 mile down road (walk back was interesting!) but great week away Thankyou

“A lovely place to spend quality time with the family.”

The lovely weather we had made the scenic views from the large windows all the more special. The games room was great, not sure why you don’t have photos of it on the website as it is a great selling point for all ages.

“We had an amazing stay at Buddicombe House in August.”

The House lived up to expectations and more. It was spotless and there was plenty of room for our family of 10. We had 5 children and they loved the games room. There was plenty of room for us all to sit in the lounge in the evenings and we loved sitting together in the large dining room for evening meals. The House had everything we needed for our stay - the kitchen was well equipped. The bi-folding doors in the lounge were a lovely bonus and my husband and I enjoyed a morning coffee on the balcony of the master bedroom - the views were amazing. All in all a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it.

“Fabulous house, would recommend it to everyone.”

“Great property with a fantastic view, had an enjoyable week”

Loraine July 2024

“The house was perfect for our family group of 6 adults & 4 children aged 2-10.”

Spotless on arrival and extremely well equipped. The games room was popular with the children and especially when it was raining! The views were gorgeous and the area very quiet & peaceful, all rooms were spacious apart from the bunk bedroom but fine for the children. Plenty of storage - we all thought it was the best holiday rental we have stayed in together so far!

Sharon July 2024

“Buddicombe House was beautiful and very comfortable.”

The views were spectacular. The garden is very secure and safe. The children liked the games room and spent alot of time playing chess. As this is a dark sky area there was a telescope. We were a multi generational family of 10 and all our needs were met.

Robert June 2024

“We had a lovely week with the whole family to celebrate my 60th birthday.”

Beautiful house with spectacular views all around. Could not recommend this house highly enough for cleanliness, facilities, and very stylish décor. Excellent dealings with the owner who could not be more friendly and helpful.

- Robert, June 2024
James June 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay, nicely laid out and spacious property with fabulous views.”

Great kitchen set up, bedrooms comfortable, lovely bathrooms. Had everything we needed. Games room was very popular, particularly the pool table. Completely lived up to expectations.

Michele May 2024

“One of the best houses we have stayed in for space, comfort & very well equipped especially for a three generation family gathering.”

Although used to using an AGA we did find the electric AGA a little challenging at times and the additional portable hob was used. Games room a massive hit especially when the weather was not at its best. Views amazing and a good location to reach beaches and other activities in the area.

- Michele, May 2024
Andrew February 2024

“If you’re looking for peace and quiet with stunning views then this is perfect place, fully equipped with everything you need and more!”

Well maintained , large and spacious, it was the perfect place to unwind and relax

“The view from the terrace was stunning, despite the inclement weather and a howling gale we remained warm and cosy.”

The games room provided a distraction and much competition! Everything we needed was there and some. It made for a memorable Christmas. Thank you.

Cristina October 2023

“Whilst the house was beautiful and very comfortable, the grounds were very unkept, very untidy.”

Lacked garden maintenance and garden cushion were very dirty and unusable Such a shame, glad it was not in the midst of summer for us..

“Simply Stunning could not fault anything.”

would happily recommend.

David July 2023

“In almost every respect the best holiday home we have stayed in by the proverbial country mile.”

Super spacious facilities, including the well equipped Games room and, of course, the magnificent views. The only very minor drawbacks were an oven that was rather complicated to operate and not as clean as it might have been and the lack of a conventional (non-AGA) hob. We did not come across the small portable hob in a cupboard in the utility room until we were about to leave.

- David, July 2023
Rebecca June 2023

“The property is beautiful and in a great location.”

It was so clean, easy to get the keys and had lots of things we weren’t expecting to be there. There was a lovely welcome package when we got there which was really thoughtful. Everything feels to a high standard and a lot of care and thought has been put into the property. The bedrooms are all good sized rooms with plenty of storage. There was something for everyone to do and lots j of space to do it. We found that the listing and the pictures undersold how lovely that it is! We had a great time and would definitely consider returning. Definitely recommending to the rest of the family and friends. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Amanda May 2023

“This is a truly stunning property, with the most amazing views.”

It is soo lovely we had to drag ourselves away to go exploring! The sunny enclosed back garden was a bonus for when the wind got up. We spent many an hour in the games room (again with amazing views). This was a special family holiday to celebrate my mum and dads 60th wedding anniversary and it couldn't have been more perfect ..thank you.

- Amanda, May 2023

“Back home after a wonderful family holiday at Buddicombe House.”

Stunning house and very well equipt and catered for everything. The whole family enjoyed the games room and the telescope for star gazing. The views are incrediable and we enjoyed spending the warm evenings taking it all in. We visited Berrynarbour and enjoyed a lovely meal at the local pub, highly recommend. We will definatley book to come back to this beautiful house. Thank you for making it a great holiday stay.

“This house was amazing and perfect for our family get away.”

It was so big and had plenty of rooms nobody had nothing to do. The location was great and the views were amazing. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and we didn’t need half the cleaning stuff we brought as there was some there. We would 100% go back again.
