A fantastic place for a family break!

What a wonderful place! We had a really special Christmas at Higher Mullacott Farm. The house is so cosy and comfortable, yet it is spacious enough for 10. It is very well-equipped, and well-located for coastal walks and beaches. I can highly recommend this lovely farmhouse for a family break.

A great family holiday

The farmhouse was a great place to stay for an 80th birthday celebration with all the family. It is extremely well equipped and comfortable with plenty of space for 12 of us aged from nearly two to 80. The children really enjoyed the large garden with all its facilities. There are lots of lovely places to visit and fabulous beaches at Woolacombe and Saunton.

Second Visit

Comfortable and spacious holiday home, well equipped and ideal for a large group. The ‘Beach Hut’ is a bonus as it provides the basics for a visit to the beach to surf. The extensive grounds provide play facilities for table tennis and a kick about area as well as play module.

Thoroughly recommended

Excellent property, idea for a large group. We were a large family looking to have a week celebrating a milestone birthday, the property was everything we were looking for, clean, well equipped, excellent location. We had a minor issue which was resolved extremely quickly. The kitchen area was perfect for family meals. The bedrooms were spacious. We will definitely return.

A beautiful home from home

We had a very happy holiday. The farm house was spotlessly clean with everything we could possibly need. It was warm and comfortable for all the family. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed and cared for. Tina and her husband could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you for looking after us.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at Higher Mullacott Farmhouse. We were 2 families with teenage children and there was plenty of space for us all including lots of bathrooms. The kitchen was great, very well stocked and good space to cook and socialise. Thank you for the welcome gift of scones, milk etc. It was always lovely and warm and really comfortable. The garden was beautiful and we enjoyed the table tennis despite the windy weather. Good recycling options too. Information beforehand was very clear and helpful including how to find the property, parking and what was included. Location was close to the coast for beach and cliff top walks and arcades for the teenagers! We also visited Lynton and Lynmouth, and Watermouth Castle which were close by. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Farmhouse

The Farmhouse cottage is very good for a large group with all facilities you would expect of a high end cottage in Devon. The on site support was very helpful. The cottage is in a good location for access to all the main sites and beaches in Nth Devon. The only disappointment was the quality of the wifi. Could only get adequate reception/speed in 2 places. Overall very good .
