Honeysuckle Farm

Walk through Honeysuckle Farm and you move between rooms designed for actual living. The ground floor is built around a sitting room with a wood-burning stove—the kind of fireplace that anchors a gathering space. The kitchen is fitted out for proper cooking, with an oven, hob and American-style fridge-freezer. There's a dining room with its own stove, a conservatory overlooking the garden, and a twin bedroom if anyone needs to avoid stairs, served by a shower room on the same level.

Upstairs are four more bedrooms: a super-king master, two with king beds, and a single with a cot available for younger children. The family bathroom has both a bath and separate shower. Five bedrooms across two floors means groups and families can spread out without feeling cramped into a rental formula. One well-behaved dog is welcome. Electricity, bed linen and towels come as standard. A basket of logs and kindling arrives in the cooler months for the stoves.

The property sits within a mile of the North Devon coast. The surrounding countryside is the draw here—room to move around, outdoor space in the garden, and somewhere to settle in for a week rather than a quick break. Smoking is not permitted.
