Berry House has been beautifully renovated and provides a stylish and comfortable accommodation for large groups. It has the rugged cliffs of North Devon nearby and provides a wonderful base for short breaks or longer holidays in the summertime.
Catering can be provided and daily housekeeping if required.
Its origins date back to medieval times, was then enlarged and completely remodeled in the 1760s, including fine paneling to many of the rooms. The house remained remarkably untouched until acquired relatively recently by the present owners. Great care has been taken to retain the historic character of the building whilst discreetly incorporating the best modern services and to provide a great sense of contemporary style without the feeling of being 'too new'!
On the ground floor the entrance hall with main staircase opens to the formal paneled drawing room and dining room, with open fire and wood-burning stove respectively. Cellars include an original wine cellar and laundry facilities. The rear hall leads to a large flag-stoned kitchen with sunny breakfast room beyond. French windows open from the breakfast room to the walled terrace for outside dining. There is a boot / utility room, cloakroom and at the rear 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a secondary staircase.
On the first floor there is a large games room with petit-football and pool table and a computer set-up providing wi-fi internet. Beyond is the reading room facing West out to sea with comfortable sofas on which to curl up with a good book or watch the large screen TV with video/DVD. There are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, three of which are en-suite.
On the second floor there are 3 attic rooms and two bathrooms, 1 of which is en-suite.
Bedrooms range in style from the grand paneled Georgian rooms to the simple almost rustic and the attic which has the feel of a good modern barn conversion. All have been carefully designed and are equipped with sumptuous beds. Bathrooms are all newly fitted with top quality German fittings throughout.
In total there are 10 bedrooms (all 6ft doubles or 3ft twins), four of which have an additional single 'daybed'. There are 8 bathrooms (5 bath / 3 shower), four of which are en-suite.
The games barn is a great indoor space providing table tennis, basketball and 5-a-side footie. It also has an assortment of toddler play equipment, large screen TV and sound system.
