Kid-friendly vacation rentals in West Devon District

Great host and place

Luke is a fabulous host! Not only is the cottage idyllic, peaceful and charming, but Luke left us some goodies for our arrival. These included a bottle of fizz, some delicious bread and eggs from the chickens he keeps on his small holding. There was loads of good recommendations for walks and activities within the cottage and Luke trod a wonderful balance between giving us our space and being there to offer advice and recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the countryside!

Thank you so much for an amazing stay. The barn was beautiful and spacious and perfect for socialising with friends or family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, our only gripe was that we wish we had booked longer!!

Great communications from the host with some suggestions for walks/ days out and also responsive to queries. The accommodation itself is lovely and as per the photos. The real gem is the lovely waterfront view, especially enjoyed in the late afternoon sunshine. We liked Calstock and enjoyed the walk around the wetlands and to Cotehele and back and the mobile Pizza on Wednesday evenings is to be recommended. The Calstock ferry had just restarted and this would also be a nice way to head up to Cotehele and back once the schedule is fully established. Provisions need to be brought in from outside the village though, we found the Asda Express near Gunnislake pretty good for that.

Our family of four had a lovely stay at Snowdrop Cottage. The property was comfortable and had everything we needed for a short break. We enjoyed the views, whether it was the charming village life at the front with its beautiful cottage gardens or the peaceful church and rolling hills at the back. Innana was quick to respond if we needed anything, and it was lovely to receive her kind message of appreciation after our stay. The cottage is in the heart of the village, easy to find, and has the added bonus of off-street parking. It’s full of character, with lovely features throughout.

Fabulous place with all the amenities for us and 3 kids. If anything the photos don’t do justice to how enjoyable and convenient the place is with sheep in field opposite, 30 seconds to great pub and five mins walk to the moors. John was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to make our stay perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore this part of Devon.

The Old Sunday School is incredible. Property: 5* in every way, super clean, lush decor, smells like a spa! parking is right outside. the patio and view are stunning. bathrooms, shower all amazing. comfy bed, lots of storage space. Hosts: Jay and Lisa are lovely, they are next door but not imposing at all. super helpful and knowledgeable, we enjoyed chatting to them. Leonard is obviously the most important one and he is adorable! Area: the field below the patio was superb for our 2 black labradors, just a short walk away is a woodland walk, just magical in the early morning sunshine. short drive are some lovely country parks and places to eat. the super generous welcome gifts were very much enjoyed. we can't wait to book a return visit.

We stayed in the stable cottage with the main reason to hike in the area and to escape city life. The cottage was a perfect starting point for the hikes in the Dartmoore, peace and quiet and in the evening it felt like a warm blanket. The host Susie is very welcoming and helped us when needed. We highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet getaway.

A great find, clean, peaceful and relaxing. If it’s available book it.

This is a fantastic accommodation. Our rooms were very comfortable and clean. My little kids really enjoyed there .Would highly recommend this place.Carlose is cool and polite.He was very helful and always available when needed.I would say,this is the place with all facilities like TV,wifi,cooking essentials and so on.Would stay here again.

What a beautiful little place and a fabulous location to stopover for a couple of nights. We absolutely loved Josie’s style at The Apiary and it was perfectly clean and comfortable for us and our little dog. Wandering through the grounds of Southcombe House and its pretty wildflower meadows was just delightful. An idyllic spot in wonderful location.

My husband, 10-year-old daughter and myself have just returned from a truly amazing week, the property is beautiful, with facilities that far exceeded expectations. We had such a relaxing time; the beds are super comfy; led in bed looking out to sea with a coffee in the morning was a true highlight. The gardens are beautifully kept and being gated and private we had no worries with our daughter playing out. The walk down to Watcombe Beach, albeit steep on the way back up but 100% worth it; we took our paddleboard down and went swimming on a number of occasions, the water is very calm, on 2 occasions we were in the water and within 20ft off us were 2 seals! The hot tub was perfect, lovely fluffy robes provided to keep off the chill. We used the BBQ each evening and ate out on the patio. Susan is an incredible host, nothing is too much trouble, very informative and exceedingly helpful, she really did enhance our stay and made us feel as if we were staying in a home from home.

We had a lovely stay in Pilton - comfortable, clean and as described. Very quiet and lovely soft towels! Easy parking outside, and great access to the coast.

we spent two weeks at Pippa's place. it was everything that we were told and more. Pippa, Matt and the children were very welcoming and friendly. The Annexe is very spacious clean and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would happily stay there again in the future and would absolutely recommend it to friends and family

Lovely place! Incredible spacious and comfortable, I would definitely come again. Parking and check in were both very very easy! Thank you.

What a fabulous stay! We had a great time, the place was a charming and cottagey feel place set in beautiful location. The apartment well stocked, they provided everything from cleaning supplies to every conceivable food item you require for breakfast including fresh chicken eggs - straight from the farm. The hosts were wonderful and welcoming and communicated efficiently and I was kept up to date. Location is down narrow lanes, in the beautiful countryside of Devon - it was my first time but my friend is a confident driver, we did get lost, as we were admiring the views and not paying attention to the instructions but the instructions and pictures the host provided were very clear. There are few animals at the location, you just have to go see for yourself! Loved every minute, thank you so much - definitely see you next year!

We had a perfect weekend at Phil and Larraine’s. The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside seating area and garden was lovely. Our hosts were always available if required but also respectful to our privacy. We felt like the place was ours and settled in from minute one. Thank you Phil & Larraine . Just one more thing - those views WOW!

Booked this Airbnb for a group of colleagues working in the area, and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. The location was excellent—convenient, close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive throughout the entire process, and check-in was incredibly easy and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend this place to others and wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future.

I have stayed in B & Bs and hotels on my previous visits but this gave me more flexibility. Sarah was a great host and I had everything I needed for my stay. Will definitely return soon! Thanks for providing such good accommodation.

Great garden flat in the center of Ashburton. Peaceful and secluded. Very comfortable king size bed and good quality linen. Bathroom with bath and shower over bath, small but very clean and neat. Clean well equipped kitchen. Fab lounge with comfy sofa. Courtyard garden is lovely! The only thing to possibly improve is to have a blackout blind to the bedroom window. Ashburton is lovely with some great pubs restaurants and cafes and great easy access to Dartmoor. Thanks Helen! Loved our stay x

Jay & Sharon where excellent host and there place was lovely. We would defiantly come back if we are in the area again.

We've stayed with Di a few times and intend to do so again. It is so convenient- only a few minutes from the High Street and all the shops, restaurants etc. It is also very quiet and peaceful at night, unlike so other town-centre locations! It is always extremely clean and we feel very comfortable here. Thanks Di!

A beautiful apartment in the most perfect location for cycling the Devon Coast to Coast. Julie and John were great hosts, and have created a gem in Okehampton. The breakfast that was provided (which is a huge bonus in the first place!) was more than we could have expected, and perfect as we were on our bikes. Really comfy bed and amazing to have the bike store with pump/bike stand if you need to do any maintenance. They’ve thought of everything and we hope to stay again to be able to explore Dartmoor in sunnier times. It was still beautiful in torrential rain. Highly recommend :-) thanks Julie and John :-)

Amazing location close to Burrator reservoir and open moorland. Really close to Plymouth & Tavistock. The Burrator Inn is close by who has a great menu and 🍻. Check in was painless and the accommodation was perfect. I met the family and all really lovely people. Will rebook and see you again soon.
