A wonderful family celebration in a beautiful home and location

A wonderful family break, so much to do for all the family. Sue was most helpful, her advice and communication was wonderful. The house was everything we could ask for and everything had been thought off. The holiday was a great success, thankyou so much.

Devon Country House Stay

Beautiful house which is perfect for a large family group ranging from young to old. Well appointed and lots of separate spaces for to allow granny to escape in the evening. Very dog friendly and very close to beaches. Beware tight country lanes with passing places if thats not your thing but no problem for us. 10/10

Court Barton House

Absolutely loved our stay at Court Barton House. Family from 17-60 years. We were lucky we had the heatwave in early September so we couldn’t have picked a better time to be there. We generally went out in the mornings, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, or just shopping in Salcombe. The location is great, yes it is very narrow lanes but we live in the Staffordshire countryside so this is normal walking for us. South Milton is the best place to watch the sunset, absolutely stunning. We also went to the Beach House for drinks after, was perfect. Hope Cove just down the road, very pretty, also great for paddle boarding as is Kingsbridge. We spent every afternoon in the pool as it was very sunny and later in the evenings we toasted marshmallows and star gazed from the hot tub. Very tranquil, We played crochet in the garden and cricket and used the dart board, pool table and cinema room, as that was the coolest room in the house. Their were a couple of fans upstairs which were a godsend. The kitchen was very warm though due to the aga, which in usual British weather I’m sure is very cosy. The ruins of the church next door are beautiful, worth a look around. Would definitely recommend and stay again, easy check in and out and great communication with the host. Loads of room to play outside and the pool area also has seating, a pool house with inflatables and a bbq. All in all 5 stars, a great week away.

Amazing

CBH is a real ‘home from home’ we were a family with ages ranging from 2 yrs to 65 yrs and the house and facilities worked for us all. Lots of reception rooms which gave us all a place to be. The kitchen is a great place to congregate and so lovely to be cooking on an aga… ( there is a job and another oven available) The kitchen is really well equipped and we cooked at home rather than going out most days. The pool and hot tub excellent and there are loads of indoor and outdoor games available for whatever the English weather throws at you. The beds are really comfy and bathrooms clean and spacious and there is always loads of hot water. South Milton Sands is a stones throw away and Hope Cove too for beach days. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be returning.

Perfect for family holiday

A beautiful house in a lovely location. The whole family (from 8 to 87 years old) had a wonderful week. Even on the rainy days, there were plenty of things to do in the property. It’s so rare that we all get together as a family so thank you so much for the happy memories.

Joyful

This house is perfect for an extended family to come together. The pool, hot tub, outdoor spaces and different rooms are just right. Plenty of spaces to eat/be together and equally to find some quiet space. Close to beautiful beaches, for surfing or paddleboarding. The games and entertainment are all superb. It’s homely, comfortable and in the most beautiful setting with birds and bats a plenty. Being dog friend is the winner. Loved it.

Having been recently bereaved I was uncertain whether I had the confidence to have a holiday but your property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed sitting outside in the garden and we all wished our own gardens were like yours. It was a a wonderful house to return to each day having explored the surrounding beaches. We were sad to leave.

Excellent property for mixed age group. Lots of activities on site and easy to live in once we conquered our fear of the Aga. Good location for visiting beaches but roads are narrow and challenging at times. No walkable shops so supplies need to be planned.

Court Barton House, an idyllic holiday haven

The whole family had an amazing holiday at Court Barton. There was so much to do. From morning Boot Camp on the lawn, to a splash in the pool and relaxing dip in the hot tub, the whole day was joyful. Especially enjoyed watching the birds, in the climber on the front of the house, feeding their young. Such a beautiful garden, a lovely stay in a very happy home.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Morris

Host profile image
We fell in love with this property as soon as we were through the gate. Over the last few years we have totally refurbished the house and added the pool. It is truly the perfect bolt hole for me and my husband, 3 grown up children and extended family. We are based in Surrey but come down regularly for long weekends.

Why they chose this property

We have been holidaying in the South Hams for the last 15 years and in 2009 decided to buy a property as we loved it so much. Over the last 7 years we have had many happy holidays and celebrations with friends and family at our home.

What makes this property unique

The magic of this house is the total peace and tranquility that washes over you as soon as you arrive. My daughter says this is her most favourite place in the world.
