This is a house that shows its age in a stylish way. Lovely secluded garden in the heart of the town. Sited right in the heart of Bideford with it’s tidal River Torridge close by. A friendly town with real shops; and supermarkets if you must. Obliging owners. No off-road parking but plenty of cheap parking across the road. Permit for one car may be available. True to its description. Charming and intriguing if lacking the en-suite luxury some might desire. And as they say in the property programmes on TV: “Location, location, location.” Thoroughly recommended: wish we were still there .

In general the house was very good and I think it was very similar to what we expected. It was very clean and it was very comfortable in relation to all the people who used the house. The kitchen was very nice, very well equipped and the oven was fantastic! I think the house needs a couple of renovations anyways since there a few things which are quite old. Also it doesn't make too much sense to have so many bedrooms if there is only one bathroom.

Can I suggest you make the laundry room into a downstairs shower and toilet, 9 people, 1 shower, not great! Other than that minor quibble everything else, great! Roger & Jane hall

A great long weekend at this amazing property. Yes, it needs some work, but the house is beautiful, incredibly spacious, and the garden a delight. It was extremely well equipped for a three generation holiday, with many toys for the kids, two reception rooms to get some peace and quiet, and the balcony is a lovely sun trap. The hosts were extremely helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We have just returned from a 3 night break as a family of 12. We had a lovely family time away in Bideford but we were all very disappointed in the appearance of the house. The house is a lovely size for us all and the kitchen is fully equipped but the house is in desperate need of some TLC. The carpets are thread bare, the windows are only single pane and the beds are really uncomfortable. The host is very informative and accommodating but the house wasn't what we expected from the photographs

12 of us stayed for few days to celebrate my father in laws 80th birthday. The house is big and roomy with enough space to not be be cluttered together. The heating was great and for a very old house it was not cold at all. The garden is great and the balcony is a lovley spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The house is in a perfect location just a 1 min walk from Bideford and close to a couple of great pubs. All in all a great stay.

We stayed at this property for a week in August as a family of nine adults. On arrival we noticed how tired the property looked and did not compare to the pictures we viewed online and unfortunately this continued throughout the property. This is a lovely old building and with a lot of TLC and modernisation could be a stunning property to let. It overlooks the bowls club and football club which was a nice added bonus. However, all of the rooms need a thorough clean and attention to decoration. The patio area is a sun trap but again needs updating and made more inviting. It’s in a great quiet location ideal for touring North Devon, close to the centre of town and the river. We had no issue for parking, as there were spaces available most days or you could park in the football club ground for a nominal price.

We had a great time, really big house, twelve adults plenty of space for all. it probably wants a bit of work, but I personally loved the old feel of knowing its history and the styling is classic Georgian. Would happily go back if we all go away again next year.
