About this cottage rental
Just a little drive from Woolacombe is the enchanting Ivycott sitting in its own grounds of approximately 2 acres. Raised up from the roadside, it enjoys far reaching views over farmland and neighbouring properties in the small hamlet.
The huge driveway can accommodate parking for plenty of cars and once inside this 3 bedroom house there are several rooms for extended families to spread out. There are two entrance gates making the gardens and grounds more dog secure. On entering through the front door, on the left is the neat, compact sitting room with ample sofas to seat 6 people and TV (not a Smart TV), books and games are available. The wood burner makes this room a snug place to spend evenings with the family.
There is a dining room with table to seat at least 6-8 and off it is a cute ‘'snug'' currently set up as a chill out room or playroom with a downstairs cloakroom with washing machine & tumble dryer. Next to the dining room is a bright kitchen with modern off white units, full size dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave and food storage. It is fully equipped to cater for 6 people.
A lovely picture window looks out over the tiered garden and there is a useful porch at the back door for boots/shoes. There is a kitchen table and a utility area housing the boiler and American style fridge freezer. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer as mentioned before housed in the cloakroom.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, master with super-king bed, wardrobes, bedside cupboard, chest of drawers and mirror. There is a lovely en-suite with shower, sink and WC. Next is a king-size room and then a twin room with zip n link beds (please indicate your preference to super-king or 2 x singles on the booking form) with sink. There is a very sunny pleasant family bathroom with a separate shower.
Outside is the amazing garden on 3 sides, tiered lawns, beds, raised deck, barbecue patio & BBQ and views over farmland. The owners have installed two new gates on the driveway and more fencing to make this large garden very dog secure (nothing is ever 100% so if you have an escapee dog then please be aware). The beautiful new summerhouse commands lovely views from inside or on the terrace at the front, great for sundowners after a day exploring the area or on the beach.
Another great feature of this property is the games room in the garage. There is a darts board, table tennis, football table and outside a basketball hoop above the garage door.
Ivycott represents a wonderful family friendly holiday home within a short drive from the beaches of Woolacombe or Ilfracombe, Croyde and surrounds. It is positioned perfectly away from the madding crowds yet within easy access of the best of North Devon.
A £20 per dog fee is payable at balance stage. Saturday changeover.

Really enjoyed our stay. House was lovely and had everything you need. In an ideal location for exploring the area. Is in a beautiful location. Don't let the farm nearby put you off as we didn't hear a thing, not sure if it's still used. Plenty of spaces to sit in the garden. Would happily stay again.

Great sized property for a family of 4 plus large dog. Gardens were beautiful and location a short drive from Woolacombe. The house catered for all our needs and plenty of room to spread out and chill after exploring the north Devon towns and beaches.

first class holiday home. everything there to have a excellent stay. could live there for ever.

The property looked good on the web site and did not disappoint. It is a spacious, comfortable house (especially the beds) with everything you need for a great holiday. The house location is also excellent being able to get to several lovely beaches and coastal walks without being stuck in traffic in a honeypot location it's self. We enjoyed the 'extras' table tennis and darts in the garage and the outdoor furniture (although not used too much due to the weather). Certainly hope to return at some time.

Our stay at Ivycott was, quite simply, amazing. A really lovely spacious house with bags of character & a wonderfully relaxed, homely feel.
Extremely well equipped kitchen, cosy living areas, comfy spacious bedrooms - all spotlessly clean and well laid out.
It was fun having the games room and having the garage to.dry surf equipment was very useful.
The garden is beautiful.
We didn't want to leave! Would we go back? Without a doubt.

Family holiday
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ivycott. Especially the Games room and Summer House. It was large enough for everyone to do their own thing or sit comfortably round the table and, most importantly, several dog friendly beaches nearby.

The property was very spacious and equipped with everything you could need. We really enjoyed the outside space and summer house.. and the bonus was it’s walkable to the dog friendly beach at Woolacombe.

Great location and very comfortable
We stayed at Ivycott last year and enjoyed it just as much this year! Great location, comfortable and cosy. Missed some cushions in the lounge, downstairs toilet seat needed sorting and we had to clean windows to see the lovely views but these are small things in what is a fabulous house and lovely gardens. We'll be back hopefully again!

Family Break in Devon
Great family property with everything needed for a nice family holiday.
Good facilities and garage turned into a good games room for table tennis etc.
Some of the property maybe a little tired with the garden house certainly not in any kind of condition to use.
Clean and spacious with lots of parking and in a good location for walking to Woolacombe over the fields off the roads.
Certainly recommend the property to others.

Ivycott was a spacious family home in a rural area with a short drive to the beach. The kitchen was well appointed and a highchair and travel cot was provided, which was helpful. Some of the house was a bit dated and well-used for example the lounge sofa. The house is dog friendly and could benefit from a thorough deep clean to remove any unwanted smells, the twin bedroom in particular could benefit from this and seemed a little damp. The toilet and bathroom doors could benefit from locks. It would have been nice to receive a small welcome package on arrival, including bread and milk etc. We enjoyed the games room in the garage. The garden was nice but was generally not child friendly, we were aware of this before we arrived. Overall we enjoyed our time at Ivycott.

This cottage has to be the most equipped cottage I have stayed in and would give it 5 🌟

This property was ideal for our family with 3 proper double bedrooms, plenty of space on the ground floor and a nice enclosed garden for the dog, although it was on a bit of a slope. I would definitely book it again.

Poor standards , faults in all 3 toilets, smelly and dirty, garden unkempt
On complaining to HHH ,they passed the buck to owners who set out to attack, rather than sympathise and correct.
They live abroad and don’t see the property themselves

A lovely property!
We enjoyed our stay at Ivycott. It was clean and had very comfortable beds. We liked the spacious kitchen which had everything you could think of in it! The facilities were very good and we made full use of the games room and basket ball hoop! The large parkjng area was very welcome.
Shame the garden wasn't totally enclosed for dogs but we enjoyed the winding paths and very well stocked garden.
Would love to stay again!

Five star accommodation and excellent service from Holiday Home Hunter
We had a really enjoyable holiday at Ivycott. A very spacious cottage, large double bedrooms with an ideal layout for a family and plenty of room for everyone. A short drive into Woolacombe or a 30 minute walk down the adjoining footpath if you feel like a bit of exercise. Excellent facilities and plenty of games in the garage/ gamesroom. Lovely garden and plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

Excellent base for Woolacombe
Excellent property with a lovely walk through the fields to Woolacombe. Really enjoyed our stay. Only downfall was it stated secure gardens for dogs but we didn't think it was as there were openings where the dogs could of got out. Even so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

A large very well equipped house in a good location
Found the house just as described A great space with good sized rooms with character. Kitchen was really well equipped with lots of utensils and crockery. Nice touches of bits and pieces available - chargers, binoculars stuff for the dog etc. The games room in the garage has loads of stuff useful for families e.g. folding chairs ,windbreak even buckets and spade along with the games equipment.
Garden is pretty and interesting but is steep in parts which may not suit everyone. There is a lovely path down into Woolacombe just at the side of the property. Even if you don't want to walk all the way down into town its worth a quick walk for the views.
Only criticism would be that currently there isn't a good outside area equipped for outdoor dinning close to the house.

Ivycott near Woolacombe
Well appointed property located in a quiet location on the outskirts of Woolacombe and it's fabulous beach. Our dog loved it. A spacious property with good sized bedrooms and comfortable beds. The only downside was the oversized and uncomfortable lounge seating - no good for posture or bad backs. The outside space is large and quirky with winding pathways on it's sloping landscape leading to a number of hidden spaces. There is a rundown summerhouse crammed full of outside furniture which was diificult to extract so we used our own portable seating which wasn't a disaster because when the weather is good you're at the beach. Overall, a good time was spent at Ivycott.

It felt like “home”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ivycott. The house was well equipped, showers were powerful and the beds were really comfy!
As soon as we walked in we felt “at home” rather than in a holiday cottage.
