Mr Daniel
We had an excellent stay at Upcott house over summer holidays. We stayed at Fortescue which is an apartment (felt like a house really) on the first floor. We were a family of 4 from Liverpool with kids aged 7 and 5. The main attraction was the swimming pool which the kids enjoyed most days. There is also a games room with a full size snooker table and a playground where we had a few games of cricket. In the evening there is a bar, if you fancied a drink. The owners Mark & Denise live onsite and work tirelessly to make sure the guests have a relaxing stay. Good selection of supermarkets in Barnstaple and the main beaches- Westward Ho, Saunton Sands & Woolacombe beach within half an hour drive. If we lived closer, we would visit every school break!

We were happy to be able to spend a few days of vacation in the historic house on an exceptional property with the remains of a historic landscaped garden. It is a dog friendly establishment and it was nice to be able to buy eggs from their own hens.
