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.
This is a fantastic property for large numbers. We booked the Winery and Thatched for 13 couples for a 50th birthday party, which worked out perfectly as every rooms is a double and has an ensuite bathroom; plus the sitting rooms (one including a bar area) and dining space could accommodate us all together. There is even an outside table, which perfectly caught the sunshine for our breakfasts. The hosts were quick to answer any questions, and everything was as described on the website. We also booked a caterer the hosts recommended (Amanda Acland), who served up a fantastic meal. Highly recomm...more
We recently hosted a 50th birthday celebration staying in Winery, Thatched and Flint. The accommodation is beautiful and very well appointed. The social space is amazing and lots of room for our party - even if the weather wasn't kind to us.
The hosts were very accommodating and helped with any requests.
We had an amazing weekend - cant recommend highly enough!
Hanks Annexe is an amazing place to stay, the view from the balcony was stunning, very peaceful, location wise not far form the beaches and easy to get around.
Lorna was very accommodating in letting us check in earlier as well, helpful throughout the booking procedure and when we arrived too.
We were made to feel so welcome by Elaine, who had even put our supermarket delivery away for us! Everything about our stay at Higher Wiscombe was wonderful and we will definitely return. A beautiful, tranquil place!
This is our second stay. First was in Flint, which we loved and this time we enjoyed the Thatched Barn. Higher Wiscombe is an absolutely fabulous place to stay for us and Henry our black labrador. He adores the 52 acres of fields to run in and the barn is luxurious for all, which can be hard to find in dog friendly properties. Lorna and Alistair are perfect hosts but never intrusive.
Perfect location with lovely seaside towns within a short drive. Exmouth has a huge sandy beach, Sidmouth has wonderful selection of independent and restaurants.
We look forward to staying in Thatched again nex...more
