The house was amazing! Over and above what we were expecting. The owners had thought of everything. The photographs dont do the property justice. It was an incredible house and everything was just perfect. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Rose

We have a family get together every October to catch up and relax. This was the perfect property for this, loads of space, all the equipment we needed and in a perfect location. We would love to come back.

Jude

A great house for group of 60 somethings having our annual getaway. Good sized accommodation. Kitchen kitted out very well with most things you might need whilst away. Clean and bright. Plenty of hot water, didn't need heating so can't comment. Whilst we didn't use the games room can see it would be a good asset to families. Great being close to TaRead morerka trail to walk in to Bideford or further afield. Management responded quickly when contacted. All in all, would thoroughly recommend. Hide

Nicola

This was an amazing place to stay. We all loved the hot tub (kids and adults!) and the games room was great too. Some nice places to eat nearby at instow, and belluna Italian Bideford was good. Cottage v well equipped, had everything we needed. Beds v comfy. BBQ fantastic. Visited lynmouth and clovelly both lovely. A few walks and runs on the tarka trail, great access at bottom of the road. Highly recommend!

Gerry

This is a great house for a family get together. There is plenty of room so we were not under each others feet. It is well equipped for adults and children alike with the children playing in the games room, while the men were cooking in the barbecue lodge and the ladies relaxing in the hot tub. It is an excellent location for cycling and walking al ong the Tarka trail and many beaches nearby. Thank you Neil and Linda for providing an excellent property.

Sue

The house was big enough for everyone to have own space and shared areas had large comfortable settees. Enormous well fitted kitchen with a huge dining table making mealtimes pleasurable for all. Good to have two dishwashers, ample fridges and freezers to cater for large numbers.

Margaret

Amazing, beautiful and large house. The kitchen was huge and great for our large family meals and conservatory with 4 sofas was great for board games on an evening. Games room kept us busy on a wet day. Well equipped, clean and hot tub an added bonus. Highly recommended.

Dominique

Well equipped house in pretty Devon location allowing 14 people to have a very comfortable holiday. Hot tub, indoor barbecue hut, comfortable bedrooms and communal areas. Loved the Tarka trail. Much enjoyed by us and our guests.

Julie

An excellent property for a large family or a gathering of friends. There are 6 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms and additional downstairs toilet. The internal space is comfortable and spacious for a large group including the kitchen dinner.?

Fiona

There was plenty of space for 3 generations. A lovely house in a great location. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The hamper on arrival was much appreciated.

Linda

This was a great holiday home for our extended family of 14. Great location, VERY spacious, clean and comfortable. Probably the best equipped house we have stayed in. Games room, bbq hut and hot tub were all appreciated. Tesco and Morrison both do click and collect and we had a tasty meal at Belluno in town. Communication was swift and minor proble ms were quickly sorted. People with mobility issues may struggle with some of the large steps down into the kitchen. Highly recommend.

John

Mike

We had a lovely week at Anchor House, it was our third visit. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The living rooms are large and spacious and the kitchen dining area is enormous! Whether it is a large family gathering or a meeting of friends (we were the latter), it's a great place to spend a few days....eveni in November!!

Stephanie

You won't regret staying here! We had a fabulous holiday. Worth noting that one twin room and one double are on the opposite side of the house, whereas all other bedrooms are together off main landing.

Robin

Beautiful property, extremely clean (considering dogs are allowed). Plenty of room for our party of ten adults, crawling baby and two dogs. The rear garden is completely enclosed and secure for two extremely active cockerpoos. Good use was made of the hot tub and the BBQ hut was much admired but never used sadly. Huge well equipped kitchen with ple nty of room for two dog crates. We bought our own travel cot for sleeping but made good use of the two travel cots provided as playpens in living area

Heather

Hardly a cottage! A very spacious house with a lovely warm conservatory, two sitting rooms so plenty of room to pursue separate interests and TV programmes. Hot tub and games room very welcome, lovely garden, very safe for the dogs, very well-appointed and equipped kitchen.

Nigel

We have just returned from a fabulous week. The house is huge and the Kitchen was the focal point for us. The BBQ hut is brilliant and the House is well equipped for fun, no matter your age ! Really enjoyed the hot tub and should have used it more. Great to be able to walk into Instow and Bideford. Lunch as the Boathouse is a must. The only negativ e, but dont let it put you off, is the road noise at night if you sleep with the windows open.

Anne

Wonderful property. Beautiful view and lovely stay for families. Highly recommended.

Michael

Great house with everything you need (and more) for a big gathering, we all loved it

Chris

A lovely house in a good location. Several beaches are within easy reach by car or bike. West Coast Cycle path on other side of road. Bideford is a little tired but the people are great. Having said this you do not go to North Devon for the retail experience.

David

Comfortable well equipped and maintained house in lovely setting, Plenty of space inside and out for a house-party. Very enjoyable stay

Julia

Lovely spacious house, great to have the table tennis, pool table, Xbox, hot tub and barbecue hut for the damper days. Great location near to surfing beaches on the sunny days. We had a lovely week here.

Catherine

This is a fantastic space for an extended family holiday with plenty of facilities for games & relaxation. Plenty of space for Spreading out but also being together whilst eating either inside or outside. Lovely being able to walk to Instow and enjoy Johns cafe as well as the Boathouse and Glorious oyster.

Mandy

Gorgeous house. Plenty of room and commodities. Would highly recommend. We were close to many places to visit so didnt need to do too much travelling. The hot tub was a huge hit in the evenings and seeing the deer in the field early morning was an added bonus.

Kelly

Absolutely amazing house, fantastic facilities and beautiful location!! Spotlessly clean, even fresh milk, cream, scones, jam tea and coffee on arrivalwe all had a wonderful time,

The cottage was amazing. Plenty of room for all 13 of us and very well equiped. The children loved running around in the garden and playing in the games room. The layout of the house meant the adults could party in the evening without disturbing the children who were in bed asleep. Having the Tarka Trail right on the doorstep was an added bonus.

Jackie

We had a wonderful week in Anchor House. The hot tub and games room were great fun, along with the barbecue lodge. Living areas and bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was so well equipped. We could not find fault with anything. We had fantastic weather and were able to explore some of the beautiful nearby beaches. Definitely a brea k we will all remember for a long time.

A fantastic week spent celebrating a special birthday. Would recommend it to everyone.

R G

This is a stunning house with so much space it is ideal for large family gatherings. It is very well equipped and the games room was a great success.

Gemma

Lovely house, clean and comfortable. Could do with some updating of fixtures and fittings and bathrooms looking tired.

Jacky

Fantastic property with amazing space for a large group. Fully equipped with everything you could think of. Having a hot tub, bbq hut and games room meant that there was plenty to do even though the weather wasnt the best. The owners were very responsive and resolved a couple of small issues very promptly.

Ben

A magnificent spacious house, well equipped and within walking distance to Instow and Bideford.
