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.

    If you looking for a very comfortable family home, full of character totally recommend this one. Heaps of Beaches, walks and pubs close by. We were there during winter and it was glorious with the fire and warm kitchen.

    My family wanted a traditional Christmas setting and Hollands is exactly that. Log burner, gorgeous tree and decs, dining room table seats 10 easily, kitchen table also lovely for family breakfasts next to the Aga. Huge kitchen counter and plenty of food and drink storage areas. House is much bigger than it looks in the photos. Altogether a fabulous stay xx

    We had a wonderful time staying here. The cottage and gardens are more beautiful then the pictures show. Plenty of games and toys to keep the kids entertained, and an abundance of space inside and outside. Would thoroughly recommend to stay.

    We stayed for three nights in this old house with a very beautiful artistic style and we enjoyed the interior and exterior and we thank the owner of the house.

    Nice property but a few things lacking: Not enough showers, especially if cottage full to capacity, 1 kettle and 1 two slice toaster, inadequate and no small waste bins in bathrooms and bedrooms and disappointed that there was no welcome pack.

    Absolutely amazing cottage in the middle of the countryside. Stunning views and central to most beaches etc. We had a large family group, with 4 generations and there was ample room for all 13 of us. We enjoyed sitting together and sharing meals in both the kitchen and the dining room, in the evenings we all gathered around the fire in the sitting room to play family quizzes and games. I would highly recommend this hidden gem and we will certainly be returning again soon.

    We had a wonderful stay at Holland’s. The house is warm and comfortable. The surrounding views especially from the ‘lookout’ were spectacular. We were comfortable in our beds and children would love the ‘hide-hole’ beds, the toys and the lovely garden. We celebrated a family birthday during our stay, with so much space in both the house and garden it is just right for a party or event.. We certainly hope to return in the future. It was a real home from home and well situated to visit the beaches and quaint villages and Quays here in North Devon.
