Set amidst lawns, trees and fields this spacious and comfortable house is just perfect for you, your family and friends.

The house, rich in history and character, is in one of the most beautiful corners of west Devon, a great base from which to explore Cornish beaches, and the South West coastal footpath. An AONB stretches to the north up to Hartland.
Surfing is very popular with several local, sandy beaches to choose from: Summerleaze at Bude, Black Rock at Widemouth and Sandy Mouth being really popular this year.

Golf is just 5 minutes away at the local Golf Club and Bude has an excellent dune course.

A home chef is available by arrangement and many groups have enjoyed being cooked for and waited upon in the handsome Georgian dining room.

Parnacott, with its large garden and grounds, is particularly suited to children of all ages! Outdoors, croquet or badminton, cricket, soft ball or football on the lawn, while in the open barn there is table tennis. Inside the house, lots of dressing up clothes, a small puppet theatre, glove puppets, puzzles, some toys, games and masses of books. There is a pool table, an Xbox 360 and Wii. By way of contrast there are also rooms for good conversation, music, board games, cards and more tranquil moments. Alfresco meals are always popular in good weather. There is a large charcoal BBQ. Happy and lasting memories will be created.

Autumn and winter visitors enjoy the open fire in the drawing room and the stove in the sitting/breakfast room next to the kitchen. Christmas and New Year weeks are very beautiful.
