Woolhanger Farmhouse Parracombe Reviews

Rosalind
This is absolutely the ideal holiday stay for large families holidaying together. We were celebrating my 70th with both of our sons and their families, plus dogs. Perfect accommodation. Plenty to occupy the kids, wonderful walks, ( the dogs were shattered at the end of every day!) cosy log fire , to sit in the evening and watch a film.
Garry
Great property, well appointed and equipped kitchen, comfortable and very clean. Great stay would visit again and the cake was gone in minutes.
Catherine
It is a superb place in a beautiful setting and we all loved it. One small detail - the small bedroom (opposite a bathroom) has nowhere to hang up clothes - it's probably too small for a wardrobe, but a couple of hooks behind the door would be helpful.
Lee
The house was lovely, clean and spacious
Gill
The farmhouse was brilliant, and far exceeded our expections. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped to make our stay a memorable one.
Ian
Wonderful property,facilities and surrounding environment Great walks on the estate and great location to access local sites of interest
Roger
Fabulous accommodation with everything you could wish for, clean and exceptionally well equipped; add to this the location and areas of natural beauty which makes it a perfect rental property.
Kay
Had a lovely weekend with the family. Everything we needed was at our fingertips . Beautiful to wake up to bird song and no traffic noise . Will defiantly use the sight again to find out next holiday
Carol
We had a wonderful week at Woolhanger Farm. The manager and staff on the farm site were courteous and helpful. We would have preferred for all 14 of us to be in the same house, rather than 2 in the cottage attached, but got many that would be a plus! We would like to return!
donna
Visited for a weekend with family for my fathers 80th. Ages from 3 to 80. Very impressive house- would gladly have a kitchen like that at home! Very spacious and clean and we were well provided for with towels, firewood, tea, coffee and cake (lovely touch). The house is big enough for you not to feel on top of one another and yet retains a cosy warRead moremth. My parents stayed in the small adjoining cottage which was equally well fitted and cosy. Large spa pool and quiet setting in the country. Hide
Mary
The perfect holiday cottage for all seasons. Great quality bed linen, mattresses and towels. Well appointed kitchen wanting for nothing. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. The sauna and spa was a real treat. Perfect 80th Birthday get away for the whole family. Thank you.
Barry
I cannot fault this place. It was absolutely lovely. All the bedrooms excellent and the kitchen and outside eating areas very good too. We had an amazing time here. There were 10 adults and 2 children in our party. However, another 2 -4 would fit into the property well. The place was left and clean tidy. All staff were pleasant when at our first meRead moreeting and again when we left. There was nothing more we needed from this property. Well done team you left us coming away very happy. Hide
Ann
We had a fabulous family weekend celebrating a Golden Wedding here highly recommend it
Charlie
Just back from a long weekend stay at Woolhanger Farmhouse. As a party of 11, 1 needing a ground floor bedroom and having the separate property for a couple was just perfect!! Our little ones enjoyed exploring the gardens and the older children loved the games room and spa/sauna! The photos didnt do the property justice with the space there was andRead more just how beautiful and quirky it was. We absolutely loved our visit and could have easily moved in!! Thank you, we will definitely be back!!! Hide

An absolute beautiful place to stay, couldnt fault anything! It was clean, and spacious and had all the facilities and more. Couldn't recommend this place enough it was beyond expectations! It had beautiful walks and the grounds were lovely. Had an amazing week and didn't want to come home!
Stuart
Huge and comfortable property, plenty of space for a large family/party. Plenty to do with pool table, tennis court and jacuzzi. Dogs loved it too
Geoff
The perfect holiday home for us to get together for a week with 14 of our family + dog. Information provided beforehand and on arrival was clear and helpful. Layout of rooms and bathrooms/toilets was brilliant. Adjoining Locke's cottage for couple with dog was ideal. Exclusive use of tennis court, spa pool, pool table was fun lounge room and dining table plenty big enough for us all.. Outdoor seating area well used and safe play space for children to explore and play in.
Rosemary
A wonderful farmhouse that is very spacious in a good location. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a more remote location with excellent ammeneties.
Lisa
What a fabulous find! This house is perfect for a family gathering. We were a group of 13 and 2 dogs there was plenty of room for everyone. the swim spa was a big hit and the homemade cake on arrival was lovely. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend, we will definitely return for another family get together.

The whole family had a wonderful holiday. Great size house, very comfortable and warm (we stayed in Feb) with everything you could possibly need. The kids loved the sauna and spa swim. The location is excellent and the Woolhanger estate is very pretty and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.
Tom
Had a fantastic stay, great house fully equipped with everything you could need. Plenty of bathrooms for all of us. Pool table room was great for the kids. Hot tub and sauna were lush! Tennis rackets available for those who wanted to play tennis. And the walk around the estate was lovely!

Alan
Fantastic house, location and facilities. Very welcoming team - excellent in all respects
Sue
My family and I had a great weekend, and the lovely cake which went down a treat when we all arrived. Fantastic place to stay with the large hot tub my grandchildren loved and the walks to the lake, tennis court and the garden, also the grandparents retreat. Would recommend to everyone.
Michael
great house with everything you could possibly want very quiet and relaxing but close enough to lots of places to visit. would definitely return.
Susan
Ideal accommodation for a whole family get together . Grandparents have their own space in the annexe but able to join the rest of the family for meals , barbecue and socialising .Swim spa very popular and plenty of garden space for energetic children to play games. Location ideal for attractions to visit which suit all ages eg theme parks, woodlan d and beach walks and the towns of Lynton and Lynmouth very picturesque.
Susan
Lovely well equipped holiday home set in a beautiful garden. Tennis court was well used as was the Room with hot tub and sauna. Hot tub deep enough for children to swim in. It was very hot and no where to sit in the shade. Within an hour some garden benches and a table were brought and put in the shade , well used and very appreciated. Pool table u sed every evening.
Amy
The property was spotlessly clean, well equipped and luxurious. It's even better than the photos show with everything maintained to a high standard. Lovely to have a stock of things like dishwasher tablets, soap, salt & pepper that aren't usually included in holiday rentals. 12 of us stayed and there was plenty of room within communal areas for eve ryone to be together but also loads of space if you want a few minutes of peace. Kids loved the hot tub, pool table and tennis courts. 10/10
Carol
Fantastic property cannot be faulted in any way
Jill
Amazing property. We had a wonderful week.
Alison
This is a great house! Lovely & big with an enormous kitchen diner, with an aga and an electric oven for those not confident with the aga. We used the bbq a lot though which was a great option. The beds were comfy, & the bathrooms all beautifully finished with ample hot water. The garden was beautiful, but if you take your dog it can escape from it so beware. There was a beautiful walk to the lake beyond the garden. The recliner sofas were great for relaxing in the evening with the log fire.
Heather
A very good stay that the whole family really enjoyed and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking.
Matthew
Excellent stay. Good facilities. Great communication from owner.
