Introduction to Rendezvous: A Unique Luxury Devon Holiday Rental

Welcome to Rendezvous at Homecroft House, a premier countryside retreat for travellers seeking an authentic Luxury Devon Holiday Rental. Nestled in the heart of the peaceful Mid Devon landscape, Homecroft House is a grand 100 year old Devon family home designed specifically for gathering, relaxing, and re establishing meaningful connections with loved ones. Whether you are planning a multi generational family reunion, a milestone birthday celebration with close friends, or a peaceful escape from busy city life, this historic property offers an unparalleled rural experience.


The Story and Philosophy of Our Luxury Devon Holiday Rental

At Rendezvous, we believe that a truly remarkable vacation home should offer far more than basic lodging; it should be a place for people to gather, relax, talk, discuss, reminisce, rediscover, reclaim, and rescue. You are invited to discover more about the story of our luxury Devon holiday rental to understand how Homecroft House has evolved into a welcoming countryside sanctuary over the past century.


Located within ten minutes easy walking distance of Cheriton Fitzpaine, an historic village documented in the Doomsday Book, Homecroft House connects you directly to traditional English rural living. Cheriton Fitzpaine features a bustling community shop and two excellent local pubs serving regional ales and home cooked meals.


The house boasts secluded rural views across every season. In the winter, when the trees lose their foliage, guests can admire breath taking views stretching 20 miles distant to Dartmoor National Park. During the verdant summer months, the foliage opens up views of the village church spire just a quarter of a mile away. Homecroft House is a calm sanctuary that is electively connected to the living rhythms of the Devon countryside.

Discovering Mid Devon Countryside Around Your Luxury Devon Holiday Rental

While many visitors to the South West head straight to the crowded coastal beaches of North or South Devon, those seeking a genuine retreat choose Mid Devon. This breathtaking agricultural heartland enjoys one of the best climates in England, combining mild weather with rich, fertile landscapes.


Staying at a Luxury Devon Holiday Rental in Mid Devon allows you to explore an industrious yet serene landscape filled with small market towns, regular farmers markets, traditional English country pubs, and local farm shops. The surrounding single track tree canopied lanes offer some of the finest gentle walking routes in Europe.

For wildlife enthusiasts, early risers at Homecroft House are regularly treated to sightings of local fauna. In the surrounding fields and garden, guests can spot deer, badgers, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, hares, stoats, weasels, and even the occasional adder. On the property grounds, guests and children are invited to meet the geese in the adjacent field and collect fresh morning eggs from the friendly hens in their compound.
