A private drive leads up to this gorgeous house, with the entrance opening onto a spacious hallway and a separate entrance leading to the boot room for the dogs and storing wellies and coats.

Of the 6 bedrooms, 5 are doubles and 1 a quad, an option for the children to bunk down together. The 2 bathrooms are stunning; one has mosaic Moroccan tiles and Lefroy Brooks fittings with window fabrics supplied by Carolina Irving. The other bathroom has a large walk-in power shower with an amazing spray shower head. An original 1920s, recently re-enamelled roll top bath is still in situ for a long soak.
If the weather holds, the south facing terrace off the drawing room is just the ticket for a barbecue or drinks, with distant sea views over the Jurassic Coast. Chill out with a favourite tipple and help the kids toast some marshmallows on the firepit. Or make the most of the opportunity to watch roe deer, woodcock and buzzards during a wander in Wolford Lodge's woodland. And the children will absolutely love the zip wire in the woods too!
Honiton is a lively market town on the banks of the River Otter. Visit in the spring and catch the carpets of bluebells at Hembury Fort and Blackbury Camp. Crealy Great Adventure Park is within 30 minutes and a good family day out. And the awesome Jurassic Coast isn't far away for some fossil hunting or a great family day at the seaside.
