Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Hams District

Me and my partner have just finished our stay with alpine grove and would highly recommend visiting. We stayed in the woodpecker lodge and from the log burner to the hot tub everything about this lodge was perfect, Kieth and Serena service is amazing and we can’t wait to visit again soon. Thank you again for such an amazing stay.

Spent a lovely few days with our friends, Apple Cottage was an ideal home from home, thank you!

We had the most relaxing, gorgeous time. A beautiful home in beautiful surroundings. All you can hear is birdsong. A true retreat with the hot tub and whirlpool bath. We were lucky enough to experience beautiful weather as well. Didnt want to leave! 💕

I had a fantastic stay at Holls House! The location is simply stunning—right in the heart of Dartmoor, surrounded by breathtaking nature and peaceful scenery. The house itself was spotless, which is something I really value. It was clear that great care had been taken to maintain a high standard of cleanliness, making the stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The home was well-equipped, cozy, and full of charm, providing the perfect retreat. Holls was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring everything was just right. I highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back!

We have stayed in a lot of glamping spots but this is the best place we have ever stayed! The tree house was comfortable and cosy and the amenities were fantastic. The hot tub was great and we had a really peaceful few days. The kids had a wonderful time roaming around between the play area and the swings in the woods (when they weren’t in the hot tub!). So many little touch’s made it extra special like ample amount of wood for the fire, the electric blankets on every bed and even the air fryer! The kids loved the cubby hole and the top double bunk above it and spent time nesting there also. Perfect place for days on the beach or just relaxing on the balcony with a good book. Highly recommend! Thank you for a really wonderful stay 😊

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. Helen the owner was wonderful and looked after us beautifully. The extra touches like homemade cream tea and treats for our dog were particularly nice. The cottage itself was beautiful, comfortable, spotlessly clean and in a really peaceful location. We had wonderful walks down to the coastal path and Bude is just a short drive away. We cant wait to return.

We booked Mistletoe Farm for a stag do, and it couldn’t have been better! The location is fantastic—secluded enough to enjoy ourselves without worrying about disturbing anyone, but still close enough to Chard and surrounding areas for pubs and activities. The accommodation was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed. The hosts were welcoming and gave us great recommendations for local spots. The hot tub were absolute highlights—perfect for relaxing during the day and unwinding in the evening after a big night out. If you're looking for a unique and memorable place to host a stag weekend with a mix of fun and relaxation, this is the place! Would definitely recommend and return!

We booked a really last minute holiday and arrived within a few hours of booking. The place was absolutely beautiful and so many comfortable places to chill around the house. The location was perfect as well, just what we were after! One of the best holidays we've had as a family!

A private little haven, but close to town to not be a hassle to go to the shops.Dog friendly. Kitchen was well equipped. Will def go back.

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

We had such a lovely time at the Farm. The cottage was so quaint and the views beautiful. Kate was a lovely host, a very pleasant welcome with cake and a card. Only a 15-20 min walk from Exmouth which we did several times. £10 taxi trip home should you need one. Thank you for making us feel welcome x

Another lovely stay at Caroline's cottage in Lyme, very relaxing and comfortable!

The cottage is in a lovely location with great views from one of the double bedrooms and the conservatory and driveway. It felt very homely with the fire very useful, comfy sofas, thick stone walls. Kitchen is a little small but has everything needed, and has a spacious dining area attached. Comfortably fits 6, even 7 with sofa bed, though the two single bed mattresses feel a bit old. It was at a discounted price however with some more work said to be needed. Lovely woodland walk on the doorstep and coast very close. Very quiet and peaceful. Didn’t find pre-warned damp much of an issue. Amy was helpful and attentive though being in a different time zone. Appreciated the private space. A good find.

My wife, the dog and I loved this modern, tiny apartment. It had enough space for the three of us and car was secure on the drive way. It's in a perfect location, less than 5min walk from the local beach, pubs, and restaurants. Our highlights in the spring sun were: Bude's coastal walk, Olive tree's bar and restaurant, the Falcon inn's secret garden and Tantagel Castle (a 30min drive) away.

Richard and Mo were great hosts and provided us with all the information required to meet our expectations. Richard met us on arrival and it was lovely to have the basics for breakfast provided for each morning, which was an added surprise and very welcomed. This facility was perfect for my wife as she has mobility issues, and the Airbnb is all on one level with walk-in shower, so made moving around was made so much easier. We would highly recommend staying here, and will look to rebook for our next visit to Devon.

What a lovely stay in a homely cottage , so much better than the pictures show , it feels like home as soon as you walk in and we felt so relaxed in this peaceful location, really nice walks down into the village and harbour and many many lovely walks with stunning scenery beyond , we could have stayed longer ,there was everything we needed fora comfortable stay and so many cooking utensils and pots and pans that it was easy to be able to cook in the sweet kitchen and looking out of the window to see ducks and chickens trotting around and Sarah and her mum were so nice and welcoming with great local recommendations and knowledge it really makes for an enjoyable experience

Really a lovely and beautifully clean caravan, with towels and bedding and all the cleaning supplies etc so no need to bring too much from home. Stunning location you fall in love with straight away. Quiet in winter but you feel safe.

Lovely little place to stay. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Chris was very helpful and friendly. Would recommend.

We stayed over the Christmas week. It’s always a worry as to whether there will be sharp knives, enough trays while cooking Christmas dinner etc but I need not have worried as there was everything we could possibly have wanted. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and all items were clean, good quality and plentiful. The whole property was very comfortable, warm and spacious. Outside areas were accessed by the grandchildren, they enjoyed a daily swim. The system for booking is excellent. We managed to have a brief game on the tennis court and the children had a little time in the play hut and on the equipment. The zip line was a real hit. It would be lovely to be able to return when the weather would allow more use of the great outdoor facilities. Laura and Richard are great hosts. Brilliant communication prior to arriving. A great in person welcome too on arrival. We hope to return and can highly recommend Mullen at Pitt farm

Iona and Paul were really welcoming and very accommodating hosts. The property is beautifully situated in a pretty village - walkable to the sea, with two good pubs nearby. Lovely gardens and use of a pool (with a sea view). Clean and comfortable beds. We will be back ! Thank you.

Absolutely perfect hosts and accommodation. This was my first stay at an air bnb and it was wonderful. Kate couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating and assisted me with additional things such as taxi numbers. The accommodation is simply stunning and the layout of the home means that even if a large group of you stay you still have your own space. The pool is welcome addition as are the hands outside, even the harder to please teenagers had a great time. We’re now home and looking at other dates we can return to the cottage. Thank you to Kate and Mike.

The view from the lodge was exceptional..... The lodge was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The heating was very good and was easy to operate and responsive. It benefits from a very large balcony with ample room for a 6 person table with chairs (supplied) and there was even a hot tub (although not working in March) The site was slightly awkward for those that are less able to walk up and down slopes as it is on a hill. Although it is beneficial not being able to park outside of the lodges, arriving and leaving with all of your belongings is slightly difficult. Luckily for us it was dry. There are trolleys that can be borrowed to do this but the width and steepness of the paths did make it difficult for the less mobile. I would definitely stay again.

My family and I had a great stay here. There was lots for my daughters to do. They particularly enjoyed swimming in the indoor swimming pool and with the great rota system we get the pool all to ourselves twice a day. The cottage was lovely, it felt cosy and was clean and tidy and even had a surprise scone, cream & Jam left for us. Jonathan was a great friendly host and the location was so nice and peaceful. Will definitely come and stay here again.

Superb little place to stay, very cosy, was lovely to find the heating on ready so all toasty when we arrived on November chilly evening after a long drive down. Nice little welcome basket and Milk in the Fridge too ! Great seating area to chill out and watch TV or have a Nap. We had a great few days just walking Berry Head and surrounding areas and some nice Food in Brixham by The harbour. Have added it to our Favourites list for potential return trip as it seems to let late in the year when we prefer to take short breaks. Defiantly would recommend to anyone asking. Thanks so much Paul and Clare.
