The Story and Countryside Setting of Our Devon Holiday Home
Homecroft House is a beautiful 100 year old Devon family home located right in the heart of the peaceful Devon countryside. Unlike standard holiday lets in Devon that can feel commercial, this property retains its authentic character and welcoming warmth. You can discover the full background of how this space became a sanctuary for group gatherings by reading our property story.
The setting is defined by stunning secluded rural views that change elegantly with the seasons. During the winter months when the trees lose their foliage, you can look out and see Dartmoor standing proud 20 miles away. In the lush, verdant summer months, the view shifts to reveal the top of the historic village church spire just a quarter of a mile away.
This is a calm place that remains eclectically connected to the rhythms of nature. The surrounding fields are alive with wildlife. Guests who wake up early are regularly treated to sights of deer and badgers moving through the morning mist, foxes, rabbits, and hares in the hedgerows and squirrels, stoats, weasels, and the occasional adder basking in the garden
Adding to the rural charm, you will find friendly geese in the adjacent field and hens in a large compound. Guests are completely free to collect the beautiful fresh eggs for breakfast, providing a true taste of country living that few other holiday lets in Devon can match.

Discovering the Untouched Charm of Mid Devon from Your Holiday Let in Devon
Most people looking for holiday lets in Devon gravitate exclusively to the crowded north or south coasts, or the busy university city of Exeter. However, our deep knowledge of the local area highlights why the hinterland of Mid Devon is one of the best kept secrets in the south west of England.
Mid Devon is a stunningly beautiful agricultural region boasting one of the best climates in England. It is simultaneously beautiful, industrious without being industrial, and incredibly welcoming. The local area features small market towns with regular farmers markets, excellent farm shops, and what are arguably the finest gentle walks on single track tree canopied lanes in Europe. As a Scotsman, the owner can also remark, without a single hint of irony, on the incredibly unique and charming accent the local residents have!

Convenient Local Access
Homecroft House sits within a comfortable ten minute easy walk of Cheriton Fitzpaine, a historic village recorded in the Domesday Book. The village is home to a fantastic community shop and two excellent local pubs serving brilliant food and real ales.
Attractions and Day Trips Near Our Holiday Let in Devon
If you do choose to venture away from the comfort of the property, you have easy access to an array of activities:
Exeter University: Known for academic excellence, it offers a huge selection of public entertainment, including travelling theatre groups, celebrity talks, and expert presentations.
Local Sports: Watch the Exeter Rugby Club, which has rapidly risen to become a powerhouse of European rugby, or enjoy a traditional afternoon out at Exeter City Football Club to experience football as it was before it became a massive business.
Regional Highlights: The property is situated about an hour and a half drive through gorgeous scenery from world famous destinations like Rick Stein restaurants in Padstow, Cornwall, or the spectacular Eden Project in St Austell.
Our guests frequently arrive with long lists of outdoor activities planned, but once they experience the welcoming, calming effect of Homecroft House, they choose to simply stay at the house and enjoy everything on site.
