Grascott House

A beautiful house and setting on the farm. Great for families and kids and Sam the owner was very helpful with any questions that we had. It had all of the facilities and more that we were expecting and the house was very clean. There was plenty of room for us all (10 adults and a baby) both inside and out. The beds were very comfy and smelt lovely! The drive down to the house is quite bumpy but that’s all part of the experience! Would definitely book again. ...

We (gran, two mums, a dad, four teenage kids and two dogs) absolutely loved our stay here in this house which is spacious but cosy at the same time. It was so relaxing, and peaceful. Even my son who normally has to be surgically removed from his phone went out every night (voluntarily) to look at the stars in the non-light polluted sky, and listen to the hooting of the local owls. The big family area really was fantastic. Nearly everyone was offering to make tea or coffee/wash up/help with cooking as you didn't have to leave rest of gang to go to a separate kitchen or dining room. There was so much space in this area you could cook, watch TV, play games/do crafts on the huge table and even spread out a yoga mat if you wanted to - all at the same time. There is so much storage room you really could stock up the freezer and fridge for a week and never leave the house. I did take the kids to Barnstaple one day, which was a lovely scenic drive and the local village of Shebbear is well worth a visit. If you are looking for a holiday to really get away from it all - this is the place. ...

Lovely place. Very tranquil with super views The wildlife around the house and in the forest was an absolute delight The swifts were spectacular indeed.

This is an ideal place to get away from it all. We loved watching the owl hunting in the evening and the swallows nests in the eaves. The games room, wellies, trampoline and swing were great for youngsters. The house was ideal for our 4 household, 3 generation get together....

We had a fantastic time at Grascott House. We were a party of 5 adults, 3 kids (14, 11 & 2) and an 8 month old and it was the perfect space for us. The kitchen/diner/lounge is a great sociable space and the house felt really big with plenty of room for all of us and all our stuff. Beds were really comfy and it was so clean. We were worried about only one bathroom between so many of us but it wasn’t a problem at all as there are 2 other loos. It is really remote, but found the track to be fine and it was lovely that our toddler could just freely run around without the worry of traffic. And we spotted the barn owl every night. It’s a beautiful spot and amazing it is all of grid with solar panels, calor gas, log fires for the winter etc. The owner was so welcoming and friendly and we’d definitely recommend this place to others. One of our highlights was a walk on the tarka trail, with lunch at Yarde cafe which was recommended in the info book. We also went to Bude and Westward Ho! which weren’t too far away....
