Rendezvous FAQ

What Makes Rendezvous Stand Out Among Holiday Lets in Devon?

Rendezvous at Homecroft House is a 100 year old Devon family home designed specifically as a gathering place to relax, discuss, reconnect, and unwind. Situated in the heart of the Mid Devon countryside, the property sits within a ten minute easy walk of the historical Domesday Book village of Cheriton Fitzpaine, home to a local community shop and two traditional pubs.

​

Unlike conventional accommodation options, Homecroft House offers an immersive rural experience. Guests enjoy secluded views across rolling countryside, including clear sights of Dartmoor 20 miles distant during winter and the spire of the village church a quarter of a mile away in summer. The grounds feature rich local wildlife, including deer, badgers, foxes, hares, stoats, weasels, and wild birds. Guests are also welcome to collect fresh eggs from the resident hens and observe geese in the neighbouring field. You can read more about the unique heritage of the estate on our story page.
