Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Julian Baust
We started out as a family of four who enjoyed many happy holidays in the area. We are now two retirees with a grandchild. We currently live and work in Bedfordshire but plan to spend as much time as we can at Iris cottage. We hope others can enjoy the area as much as we have over the last 50 plus years.
Why they chose this property
We bought Iris to give us a home within the area that we have known and loved for over 50 years. The beauty of the South Hams is plain to all who visit, with it's rolling hills and fabulous coastline. Great for walks and for those who enjoy water sports and a range of other activities. The property benefits from a range of on site facilities set in beautiful grounds which cater for all weathers.
What makes this property unique
Stancombe is a wonderfully secluded, peaceful and calming place- but with lots of amenities and close to lots of wonderful countryside, beaches and eateries. Whatever the weather there are things to do at and around Stancombe.
