About this property

Much Loved Four Bedroom, Three Bathroom Family House

Barricane House, formerly Barricane Inn, was built by my great, great grandfather Samuel Conibear in 1860. It has remained in the family ever since and is now a much loved and revisited holiday home comprising 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, boot room and two attic 'play' rooms. It is also used by us for more than 10 weeks a year and so it has many home comforts not usually found in a rental property.

Clean property, perfect location, superb communication.

Communication was great throughout the booking process and stay. House was immaculate and well stocked with necessary essentials. Although we had an issue with the hot water and heating, this was dealt with promptly and without too much disruption, enabling us to enjoy our holiday in a beautiful location. The village was ideal for getting to the beach in Woolacombe quickly, with excellent facilities, take away and fish and chips. Would definitely recommend and would book again.

The House that has Everything

We had a week in this large and interesting property. All was beautifully prepared for us and so comfortable. We were so lucky with the weather and used the front garden, a real suntrap, all the time. The house is right in the centre of Mortehoe with several places to get hot food really nearby. Would love to stay there again.

A lovely house and location

We loved it! Lots of games to play on rainy days and the house was very clean and tidy and spacious. Loads of cooking utensils and equipment. It was a shame when we visited that most of the takeaways and pubs in the village were shut but we made the most and Woolacombe is a very short drive away.

Property size, position and contents

The property was larger and lighter than expected and handled six adults well. The extra play and rest room is a bonus. The 3 kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped. The position of the property in the village was special.

KINGSCOTT and party group

We had a lovely few days at this property. It was very clean, everything supplied as advertised and a lovely space for a large group. The host was very good and phoned to make sure all was okay. It was well positioned in a lovely village with plenty of places to eat/ takeaway. We had a lovely meal at Miss Fea's cafe virtually next door. We would definitely recommend it to stay again.

Great property with everything you need for a fantastic holiday.

We had a lovely holiday, the house is perfect for a large family. Being on the cliff top you have to be prepared for the hills or drive down to Woolacombe. Very convenient with two shops, two pubs and two takeaways on your doorstep.

Wonderful house in a lovely village

The house is spacious and very well equipped. Especially the bedrooms and the attic are cozy. We went for walks along the astonishing coast and enjoyed the afternoons at the beach in nearby Woolacombe. Our holidays were absolutely perfect. Thanks a lot to Maggie and David!

April/Mai

We really enjoyed staying in Barricane House. There was plenty room for everyone. The owners of the house are kind and concerned. We thought it was really great that there was a large inventory, for example in the number of cutlery and pans. Never the hassle that the number of visitors has been calculated exactly

Easter with friends

This house makes the ideal holiday home for friends or family. Everything you could possibly need. The location is second to none in the beautiful village of Mortehoe and all of us thought how wonderful it was and would come again.

Perfect in every way.

We absolutely loved Barricane House. It was comfortable and well equipped, and had the most powerful showers I have ever experienced in a holiday rental. Our one minor query when we were there received a very quick response. The location in Morthoe was perfect for us. It was quiet but close to local shops and pubs. We look forward to staying there again.

Barricane House Mortehoe

Unfortunately the weather was awful but the house was warm and spacious. Cars have to go in local car park minutes away very reasonable rate. Lots of space for my grandchildren to run around. The sun did come out and Woolacombe beach is great for everyone. Can recommend Captain’s Table and the Ship Aground, Our 3rd stay hope to be back next year! Splendid!

A lovely very well equipped family holiday home

A very well equipped and lovely holiday home. Excellent bedrooms and bathrooms that coped with the 3 generations of our family. The house is situated in the middle of the small village next to all the things you would want close. A village shop selling fresh pasties and other delights. 2 lovely pubs that both provided food. The location also allowed you to travel other attractions that were also in easy reach. Yes we hope to go back

Why they chose this property

This is not just a lovely holiday house, because it is used by us out of season and therefore is very well equipped and maintained.

What makes this property unique

Family home in the very centre of this beautiful village, with two play rooms for kids to play in and provide some 'peace' for parents & grandparents.

The house was built by my great great grandfather and we have sympathetically modernised it whilst retaining its original character.

Over 50% of our guests stay again and we think that says a lot about our house.
