Coulscott is perfect for the whole family, with so much to see and do.

Our private estate has excellent facilities perfect for your dream family holiday in Devon; whether the kids want to take a dip in the heated indoor pool or burn off some steam in the sunshine on our large wooden outdoor play area, or you want to take the whole family on a relaxing stroll, or have some me time in our onsite Yoga class, we’ve got something for everyone.

Heated Indoor Pool and Hot Tubs

Magnificent heated indoor swimming pool,  at a safe, constant depth, with steps leading into the pool. Warm ambient air flow when you get in and out. Secure access. Non slip surrounds and lounge area to relax, on our smart new cradle rope weave seats or day bed. Pool building also has changing rooms, WC and showers. There are private hot tubs for 5 of our houses (Coulscott House, Old Barn, Old Farmhouse, Georgian House and Aylesbury) either on your private terrace or private deck. Hot and bubbling these are a magical treat, especially under our starlit sky (located on the edge of Exmoor’s Dark Sky Reserve) with superb views down the valley to the horizon! Just take the cover off and get on in and enjoy!

The Grounds

Coulscott is set in its own little valley, with 17 acres of grounds to wander with lawns, gardens, sunken lanes, ponds, meadows, an orchard, streams (perfect for little dam-builders!) and astonishing far-reaching views.

There’s also 5 acres of dog walking field for off lead enjoyment and ball and stick chasing…

There is also a dedicated under 5’s soft play area to keep your little ones content and safely contained.  Coulscott House and The Georgian House have a private games room with table tennis and table football.

Coulscott’s Animals

We have a lot of different animals at Coulscott (over 50 and counting!) and we love our guests to visit them anytime they like, as do our animals!

Our free-range chickens, many of them rescue hens, supply Coulscott’s eggs and our cute call ducks and runner ducks live on our three ponds. We also have a small heard of alpacas many of which were born here, pygmy goats, sheep hand reared at Coulscott and two gorgeous Kune Kune piglets! Recently arrived are our guinea pigs and mini lop rabbits always ready for a cuddle. In the spring we often have orphan lambs for you to bottle feed too!

Outdoor Playground

Kids love our large wooden pirate ship complete with decks, tunnel, ships wheel, plank and large sand pit. Our 2-storey Wendy House is a little home makers dream come true, with built in kitchen and furniture and a veranda to serve their cream teas from. There is also a wooden tractor complete with slide, a  trampoline, swings, slides, and a climbing frame.  Hours of entertainment with sunny spots for parents to enjoy a cup of tea or relaxing glass of wine!

Outdoor Dining

Each cottage has its own outside dining area – perfect for those al fresco moments, whether you want to enjoy a morning coffee on your terrace, a BBQ or a sundowner at the end of the day! Each property also has a Chimnea or fire pit.

We also have communal tables and chairs set up to enjoy the views from hidden spots around the grounds. You will also find a large 1.5 meter fire pit with benches for the whole family to sit around and make marshmallow memories!  

The Lookout

You will feel on top of the world looking out across North Devon as far as the eye can see.

A perfect spot to sit back, relax and soak up this stunning far reaching Coulscott valley view. 

Kitchen Garden

Coulscott has an extensive kitchen garden and greenhouse for you to pick yourself a little something to go with that alfresco lunch or cosy dinner.
