The Buttery is a wonderful self-catering holiday home in Mortehoe, near Woolacombe, North Devon. We bought this property in the village's Victorian 'crescent' in July 2010 and have worked non-stop since then until July 2011, together with our excellent builder Pearce Barnstaple, to create what we feel is an ideal holiday home in a perfect North Devon village. The Buttery is now our own much-loved family holiday home and is also available for rent. If you choose The Buttery for a holiday we aim to make you want to come back again and again. See http://www.thebutterymortehoe.co.uk/holiday-dates for more info including graph of seasonal pricing variations.

Guest comments
Wonderful visit and can't wait to come back. We loved the quaint village, the walking adventures along the coast, cream teas in town, the scarecrow festival, border collies everywhere, amazing swimming and rock climbing at low and high tide, and wonderful people. There is nothing remotely like this where we come from. And the home is so comfortable, bright, and beautiful. We wish we lived here! This is a beautiful renovated house in a charming, old-fashioned British village, located close (short walking distance) to a rocky coast that offers fantastic swimming, hikes along the cliff side from village to village, and many other potential adventures. Everything you would want for a perfect, relaxing vacation was present in the house, which is located right in the village next to shops and restaurants. You don't need to drive anywhere. But, those who want to see other big tourist spots can do so as a day trip.
House swap
House swap considered - e.g. Scandinavian seaside fjord house?

About the owner
I am an architect living in London. I know North Devon well, having holidayed here and worked on design projects in the area. Mortehoe has always struck me as a gem - amazing location and people, and not spoiled by excessive tourism. When in 2010 my husband Dominic and I had the opportunity to buy a run-down hotel/restaurant in the terrace at the heart of the village we jumped at the chance. The next 12 months were incredibly busy and satisfying ... with a huge effort by excellent local builder and a lot of design, structural work, conservation, inspiration and management, The Buttery was reborn as our own holiday home, which we are also going to rent out. We hope to have a lot of the same guests renting year after year. We would welcome you to our house in Mortehoe!
Year purchased: 2010
Why the owner chose a home in this location
If you don't know Mortehoe - come and discover it! An ideal place for a family holiday, golfing holiday, walking odyssey, cycling, dog-walking, socialising .... relaxing all year around.
Unique benefits of the property
Carefully designed for style, comfort, convenience and fun!
