Higher Wiscombe is near The Jurassic Coastline in East Devon. There are four cottages, one sleeps two, two sleep six, one sleeps twenty and all bedrooms are ensuite. There is a pool in summer, a games room and 52 acres for guests to wander and explore. Very private location, dogs and children welcome.
Our group of 29 adults occupied the barn and cottages for a week's stay at Higher Wiscombe (our second visit). It met our needs completely on every level.
All rooms are ensuite and nicely appointed.
The communal area is spacious and relaxing and was large enough for us all to fit in together.
With the use of the kitchen in Thatched cottage, whole group meals were able to be prepared without overly affecting use of the main kitchen in the Winery. Cooking implements and equipment were more than sufficient for cooking for a group of this size.
Although October, the swimming pool was used and ...more
Amazing house with stunning views. The property has everything you would need for a large group, including a heated swimming pool with beautiful landscape. My favourite spot was the fully equipped Bar - just bring your drinks. The hosts are very good , flexible and kept great communication throughout. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Higher Wiscombe cottages.
Our review is from the point of view of a couple one of whom is disabled.
Very comfortable bed. Well appointed kitchen. Lovely balcony with gorgeous view.
The step from bedroom to loo was dangerous for us, even when lit. The sitting room sofa was low - difficult to get out of for a person with very weak legs.
Lovely wet room but with no grab handles for a disabled person. The ‘show’ bath was impractical for us. There was limited hanging space in the wet room for wet towels - could have done with another heated rail.
All parts of Hanks Annexe were very hot when we arrived. Because of u...more
We all had an incredible stay at The Winery - certainly one of our best holidays. The accommodation is excellent, all furnishings are laid out perfectly, and facilities are 5-star. The main floor has everything in the right place to host a large group - kitchen, dining, bar, access and viewing to outdoor and BBQ area. Seldom does the accommodation meet the expectations of photos, but this place exceeded our expectations and was exactly akin to the photos, if not better. Moreover, the owners are very hospitable, friendly and everything is well organised. I would highly recommend staying at The ...more
Fabulous accommodation and beautiful location, we absolutely loved our stay at Flint Cottage.
There was everything you could possibly need, the pool schedule worked well, meaning all guests could get a private session.
Very dog friendly.
The configuration of the cottages meant you were not overlooked by anyone else and had your own private garden, we spent bank holiday weekend there, when it was at full capacity, yet we hardly saw another person, so very peaceful.
Out and about you have the stunning Devon coast with plenty to do, then relax in the evening with a BBQ or pop to the local p...more
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is lovely, the people couldn’t have been nicer (thank you Elaine & Olivia for making us so welcome) & it really is dog friendly! Such a rare treat to have 3 double bedrooms & all en-suite. Only tiny issue was WiFi being a bit hit & miss at times but that’s a small price to pay for such a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend Higher Wiscombe and we definitely plan to go back!
