Description

As featured in The Times article '20 big houses to book for Christmas' in October 2018.

Dreams of that country retreat start here. The grand entranceway. The farmhouse kitchen. A library for optimistic reading time. Sweeping lawns and a brook at the bottom of the garden. What are you waiting for...

Farmhouse elegance

32 acres of rural serenity await you on the Hutchinghayes Estate. The farmhouse and the barn combine to accommodate 12-14 guests in gorgeously presented and sumptuous surroundings.
Open the sturdy front door on the farmhouse and you’ll be greeted with a spectacular mahogany staircase and wood panelling. The warm boldness of the walls and the huge flagstones underfoot simply add to the grandeur. A picture perfect farmhouse kitchen complete with AGA and fit-for-all-the-family farmhouse table awaits the rest of your crew. The barn kitchen is part of an open plan layout sociably incorporating living and dining space. Come together in the formal dining room of the farmhouse with its crossback chairs and garden outlook for a memorable dinner party or two. Your downtime spaces are plentiful, whether you seek the tranquility of the library, the buzz of the billiard room or sink-me-in and relax sofa in one sitting room or another.

The fully-restored farmhouse oozes all of the effortless ambience and elegance that you would expect from an ancient country manor. Exposed beams, oak floorboards and thick stone walls complemented with modern furnishings promise a truly relaxing break in comfort and style. The barn is no less impressive, equally impeccably presented. Together, large families come here to celebrate big birthdays and anniversaries. Groups of friends and groups of families come to share downtime and quality time in the lush grounds that fulfil the wild and adventurous curiosities of the youngest in the party while the grown ups switch off and relax too.

Nearby Combe Raleigh and Honiton will amply sate the foodie in your party with their plethora of eateries. The Jurassic Coast is within easy reach should alternative entertainment be required in the form of sea air, fossil hunting and ice creams on the promenade. It’ll take you a weekend to soak it all in and unwind. A week might be just enough to enjoy its every offering, or you could also come back again next year…

Bedrooms and bathrooms

The farmhouse has four fabulous bedrooms including two wings. The first private wing present a beautiful king size bed and extra single bed as well as a heavenly en suite with roll top bath and separate shower. The second wing is home to two king size bedrooms, one of which has an extra single bed. There is also an en suite double in this part of the house. The family bathroom has a tub with overhead shower.

The two bedrooms in the barn are a king and a twin, and guests have shared use of a bathroom with its beautiful slipper bath and separate shower.

Reviews

Thank you for a fabulous Easter holiday. Hutchinghayes is a beautiful and comfortable base for exploring Devon and for spending fun time together. It will be a lifetime memory for us.

Past Customer,

Fantastic house and grounds. Everything you need is there. You don't really need to go out as the grounds are beautiful and you can spend time there. Liz very helpful on arrival.

Mrs B,

We spent a fantastic week at Hutchinghayes. A wonderful house and amazing garden, which was enjoyed by all, including our three dogs.

Mr S,

We had a fantastic three generation family holiday. The games room was a big hit in the evenings, as well as a glass or two on the terrace. We loved the nearby beaches too.

Mrs C,

We’ve had the most wonderful stay, constantly remarking on the beauty of the house and garden. Hope to be back!
