About this villa rental

The Meeting House is one of those gorgeous places that makes you want to peek in through the window, the sort of place you dream of being able to live in. Well, now you can, for a brief moment at least. This elegant Georgian home is everything you could ask for that perfect holiday. It’s big enough to sleep 10 people in five lovely spacious bedrooms with the Master Bedroom featuring a unique glass floor which overlooks the sitting room, which can be covered by a rug for privacy.

The Meeting House is aptly named because the house is very sociable. Beautifully decorated, with glorious, often quirky antiques, there are several reception rooms which mean you can spread out and do your own thing or simply entertain friends with space to spare. The house is perfect all year round. In the winter, grab a book, snuggle down and toast your toes by one of the wood-burning stoves and soak up the atmosphere of the historic rooms. In the summer, pour yourself a glass of something special and enjoy the sunshine in the stunning courtyard, complete with all the furniture you need to dine al fresco in style. The Meeting House won’t disappoint. You’ll fall in love with its charms and its situation – all the right ingredients for the perfect homestay.

Ashburton is a vibrant market town and a perfect base for families and friends to explore the stunning Dartmoor National Park and the south Devon coast. There is no need to leave Ashburton except for the odd day trip to a sandy beach or to explore Dartmoor. Everything is on your doorstep from groceries (Ela’s artisan bakery; Dartmoor butchers; The Fish Deli; The Arc with organic foods. Entertain yourself at the Arts Centre in the evening after a lovely vegetarian/vegan supper in the foyer cooked by Rafiki’s restaurant. Or during the day take a picnic to the fabulous outdoor heated swimming pool and sunbathe on the generous lawns followed by a Creamo’s Craft ice cream just round the corner. In the summer St Lawrence’s chapel, a 600-year-old chantry is open to the public. Look out for the concerts and recitals which regularly take place. If you wish to relax and treat yourself have a beauty treatment; there are at least 3 beauty clinics/salons to choose from. Alternatively try out some yoga or take a picturesque walk in the local countryside.

We stayed with friends and 3 young children between us. Adrian and Jenna were such kind and generous hosts. The house was perfect for our families - lots of space and so convenient for all the amenities Ashburton has to offer, as well as local excursions. We had a great stay!

We really enjoyed the accommodation. There were plenty of rooms for entertaining and lots of pots/pans/cutlery/utensils in the kitchen for cooking which many self-catered properties don't have. The bubble bath was lovely and the bath salts from Poland provided were a nice touch. The hosts (Adrian and Jenna) were very helpful and allowed us to check-in early which we appreciated with our 10-month old twins. The only thing we found to be a bit of a pain was the lack of parking outside the accommodation - we had to park in a long-stay car park which was a 5min walk away. This probably isn't a problem for about 95% of guests staying at the accommodation but when unpacking/packing for our twins and one dog it was a bit challenging, and we didn't realise this would be the case until check-in. Other than that, it was a really good stay!

This is a beautiful property fitting with high quality antiques, finishes and equipment. A little quirky so you will find yourself doing lots of steps and occasionally a little lost until you get used to it. Weather wasnt great for our weekend reuntion of Uni friends but as the house is so big and well equiped it it the ideal spot to find a corner to sit in to read etc. Adrian was very attentive to us and is a very welcoming and kind host.

We had a Wonderful stay at The Meeting House. It lived up to it's name as we had family staying from France, Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia - a wonderful reunion after 3years. All meeting again to spend much needed family time amongst the busy arrangements for our son's wedding which was being held locally. The Meeting House had all we needed, clean brilliantly equipped kitchen that had absolutely everything we needed. Wonderfully comfortable beds, alongside ample hot water for showers and the favourite jacuzzi bath. The house held a warmth to it that was so enjoyed by us all - the perfect environment for all the reconnections. Situated within a couple of minutes walk to wonderful shops/cafes/restaurants and everything you need, or think you may need - it is in the perfect location to ignore the car if you are needing a complete switch off. Dartmoor is just a moment away in the car for those wanting a little more adventure. We would absolutely recommend The Meeting House, Adrian and Jenna were so welcoming and helpful for our stay - Thank you again :-)
