Secluded hideawaya

The property is a mile or so from the nearest village and further from the main road. The makes it very quiet and peaceful with little light pollution giving great starry nights.The complex has lots to do including an indoor pool, tennis court, mini golf and some indoor activities. The cottage was well equipped, clean and tidy. It was cooler on the lower ground floor which is great for hot summer evenings and nights. The closest coast in ten minutes away and there are lots of nice walks and eateries. The host provides a comprehensive guide to the site and the local area.

Iris Cottage, Stancombe Manor

The cottage and surroundings suited us perfectly. We are grandparents and had our daughter and son-ìn-law and their 2 boys with us (aged 8 and 6). The cottage accommodation was fine for us and the surroundings great for the boys to play safely with some other children they met. They swam, played tennis, caught grasshoppers and frogs and had a great time. Lots of places to visit fairly locally - Kingsbridge (crabbing), Snape Point, Bantham and Bigbury beaches, Dartmouth (regatta, ferry trip to castle, more crabbing). Get lots of reversing practise in the narrow lanes!! Such a beautiful area, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you.

Devon Summer Break

Fantastic stay at Iris Cottage. lovely location and great amenities at the manor. Communal rooms (game room/pool) at the manor a little tired but only to be expected and didn’t take away a thing from enjoying them. Cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for 4 of us and a small dog and the cottage well stocked with quality utensils and equipment. Julian was a pleasure to liaise with and ever so helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to stay there

Quiet surroundings and great facilities

Our second stay at Iris Cottage. Even though the weather wasn’t great there is always plenty to keep you entertained. We played tennis, golf, table tennis, pool and went swimming in the indoor pool. Easy check in, clean and tidy cottage which is fully equipped.

About the host

Hosted by Julian Baust

We started out as a family of four who enjoyed many happy holidays in the area. We are now two retirees with a grandchild. We currently live and work in Bedfordshire but plan to spend as much time as we can at Iris cottage. We hope others can enjoy the area as much as we have over the last 50 plus years.

Why they chose this property

We bought Iris to give us a home within the area that we have known and loved for over 50 years. The beauty of the South Hams is plain to all who visit, with it's rolling hills and fabulous coastline. Great for walks and for those who enjoy water sports and a range of other activities. The property benefits from a range of on site facilities set in beautiful grounds which cater for all weathers.

What makes this property unique

Stancombe is a wonderfully secluded, peaceful and calming place- but with lots of amenities and close to lots of wonderful countryside, beaches and eateries. Whatever the weather there are things to do at and around Stancombe.
