Discovering Homecroft House: Your Luxury Devon Holiday Home
Finding the perfect escape where large groups can gather without compromise is a rare art. Rendezvous delivers exactly this experience, providing an idyllic countryside sanctuary designed specifically for people to gather, relax, talk, discuss, reminisce, rediscover, reclaim, rescue. At the heart of this luxury retreat is Homecroft House, a magnificent 100 year old Devon holiday home that perfectly blends historical character with premium modern luxury.
Located in the serene heart of the Mid Devon countryside, this estate offers families and friends a peaceful haven that remains deeply connected to the natural rhythms of rural England. Whether you are looking to host a multi generational family reunion, a milestone celebration, or a relaxing getaway with friends, this unique Devon holiday home provides the space, atmosphere, and facilities required to make every single moment unforgettable.
The Rich Story and Setting of Our Unique Devon Holiday Home
The setting of Homecroft House offers an authentic slice of rural paradise that sets it apart from typical coastal rentals. When exploring our property story, guests discover a rich heritage rooted in the local landscape. This beautiful Devon holiday home sits within easy walking distance, just a gentle ten minute stroll, from the historic Domesday Book village of Cheriton Fitzpaine. The village itself features a bustling community shop and two excellent local pubs, perfect for a casual afternoon out.
Surrounded by secluded rural views, the property transforms beautifully with the seasons:
The Winter Vista: When the trees lose their foliage, guests are treated to spectacular, uninterrupted views of Dartmoor rising in the distance 20 miles away.
The Summer Vista: In the more verdant summer months, the landscape shifts to a lush green canopy, revealing the top of the historic village church spire just a quarter of a mile away.
This calm environment is vibrant with local wildlife rather than silent or comatose. Early risers at this Devon holiday home are frequently rewarded with sights of deer, badgers, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, hares, stoats, weasels, and even the occasional adder basking in the garden or adjacent fields. Friendly geese occupy the neighbouring pasture, and a large hen compound provides beautiful fresh eggs that guests are welcome to collect for breakfast.

Premium Outdoor Amenities at This Idyllic Devon Holiday Home
The outdoor facilities at Homecroft House are so comprehensive that many visitors experience what we call the stay put phenomenon. While our website lists an extensive array of external activities, including horse riding, paint balling, indoor climbing, JCB driving, fishing, and sailing, most guests arrive with busy itineraries only to realise they never want to leave the grounds. This Devon holiday home is a self contained holiday resort in its own right.

Exploring the Magic of Mid Devon from Your Devon Holiday Home
While North and South Devon attract crowded coastal tourism, Mid Devon remains a hidden gem. It is a stunningly beautiful agricultural heartland boasting one of the best climates in England. As a Scotsman, our owner can remark without a hint of irony on the delightful and unique local accent you will encounter here!
Choosing this authentic countryside Devon holiday home positions you perfectly to experience a different side of the South West:
The Local Hinterland: Explore small market towns hosting regular farmers markets, sample incredible farm shops, and enjoy probably the best gentle walks on single track, tree canopied lanes in England, if not Europe.
Exeter Culture and Entertainment: Just a short drive away lies the sophisticated university city of Exeter. Beyond its diverse restaurants and independent coffee shops, the University of Exeter offers an exceptional selection of entertainment, from travelling theatre groups to celebrity presentations.
Local Sports: Sports enthusiasts can watch the Exeter Rugby Club, which has spectacularly risen from local cow pat farmers fields to become a true powerhouse of European rugby. Alternatively, enjoy a nostalgic day out at Exeter City Football Club, experiencing the sport at a local level before it became a massive global business.
Day Trips Further Afield: If you wish to explore classic tourist hot spots, you are only a scenic 1.5 hour drive away from the world leading Eden Project in St Austell or Rick Stein's famous culinary establishments in Padstow, Cornwall.
