Lovely "Barn" and Location
Great place for the family, our 5-yr old loved the stairs and having his own bathroom! Nicely equipped kitchen, and room for the grandparents to visit. We even cooked, which we don't usually do on vacation! Enjoyed the games rooms and pool too.
Only thing missing was a wood burning stove! Loved it, will definitely recommend it

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

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.

Our stay at Iris.
Property very well furnished. Not suitable for 6 people.!!We managed as our grandchildren are young and could use coffee table to eat at.
6 adults would find sitting at table very cramped. Facilities very good.
We had no communication with propery manager, so ,not applicable.

Beautiful place, great facilities
Such a beautiful part of Devon with stunning scenery and beaches. We had a really lovely family holiday at the property. The property is basic but comfortable and the grounds and facilities were perfect for our family and small dog. Lots to do in what felt a really safe environment for children. The caretaker was so helpful and friendly too.
