We had a fantastic week in this amazing property. Lots of room to spread out, very comfy bedrooms. Lovely walk to the coastline and Westward Ho! Only disappointment was the pool being not very inviting and garden furniture needs replacing. Otherwise a great place for a family holiday.

Fabulous house and gardens but needs TLC
Gorgeous house and gardens, beautiful setting, we had a great holiday at The Tower House. However when paying over £5500 for 7 nights it was disappointing to see the pool was very green and had a leak ( maintenance guy was very good came out few times) but we only used it a couple of times - it did not look like the photo ! There were only 5/6 useable garden chairs for 12 adults, the sunshade umberella had rips and holes in it, cushions were coming apart, the shower tray in main bathroom overflowed as was blocked up, toilet handle in main bathroom was already broken - maintenance guy was excellent ! House was lovely with lots of character, however kitchen was not clean to high standard, flies in kitchen and conservatory , fridge needed cleaning when we arrived and 3 sets of oven gloves were very dirty - we washed them. Dyson was blocked, we unblocked it and washed the filter. This said we all had a great holiday at The Tower House, thank you !

Great family holiday
Truly lovely old house and for our family reunion with the children and grandkids it was perfect. The walk across the fields to the coastal route to Westward Hoe. from the house was beyond words truly breathtaking. The big advantage of Tower House is the swimming pool which everyone enjoyed so much. The kids learning to dive whilst there. Fabulous position. Highly recommended.

Great location in quiet peaceful area tucked away from the more crowded parts of the area. Spacious and really well equipped family home. Perfect for multi generational get togethers. Lovely pool and patio area and direct access to the coastal footpaths.

Simply Fabulous
A truly beautiful country house with swimming pool. Spacious accommodation where you could all enjoy each others company or find a quiet corner to be on your own. A perfect family holiday and although you have local amenities and the sea on your doorstep we chose to very much base ourselves in or around the house. Surfing close at hand and beautiful walks along the SW coastal path. Very memorable!

A wonderful property in a great location!
Our holiday was exactly what we hoped it to be. The house is huge, in fact larger than we thought. There are 2 large receptions rooms, both with flat screen tvs, a large kitchen and conservatory which leads you out to a huge garden including a large pool. All the bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. From the garden you have direct access to the beach which is great for rock pooling at low rides and a lovely walk to Westward Ho! on the coastal path. A couple of our family visited the local pub which I heard was lovely. Overall a great place for families to holiday.... Loads of room, a great pool and a super location. Big Sheep was good for the little ones and definitely recommend the Glorious Oyster at Instow which does superb seafood. Its a few miles for Bideford but a nice leisurely ride on the bike. Oh and communication with the owner was prompt and they had useful tips on local eateries and attractions. We all loved it. We hope to be back next year!

Large comfortable family home, country setting in large garden with large pool, unique tower to view
We so enjoyed the house tower and pool there was almost no need to go out, the pool was a good size and the youngest in our party at last conquered his fear of water, we had wonderful evening meals around the large family table in the conservatory, the children's play room had every thing for children of all ages, not one child asked for their kindle! We serfed at Woolacomb and Westwood Ho visited Clevelly, walked the coast trail accessed from the bottom of the garden, I would love to stay in this house again it was perfect for all ages and although rural it was within easy reach of many amenities. Thank you for a wonderful week
