Gitcombe House

Magical visit Our stay at Gitcombe House quite simply could not have been more perfect. Our expectations were already high based on the photo gallery and reviews however they were hugely exceeded once we arrived. The standards of the grounds, accommodation, location and facilities were flawless. We are a mixed age family group where everyone without exception had the most magical time. We created some amazing memories in a wonderful place where the people were as warm and welcoming as the Devon sunshine. I would strongly recommend this as a place to stay for a simply breath taking experience. Huge thank you to Emma for all the help in preparing our stay and ensuring everything went perfectly x

Country Gorgeousness This is the second time we’ve come from NZ to stay at Gitcombe House Country Cottages and once again we had a wonderful time. Peter and Rodney have created a wonderfully elegant and comfortable country escape in the gorgeous Devon countryside. The surroundings are delightful, peaceful and heavenly for kids (including the tennis court, pools, country walks and so much more within easy driving distance). We had a slight issue with the lights in our cottage on arrival and everything was sorted out quickly with a minimum of fuss. You really feel cared for here - which is why I’m sure people choose to come back again and again. I can’t recommend this beautiful place highly enough for families and those needing a chance to recuperate from too-busy lives. The quality of the cottages, the surrounding countryside and the care the owners give their guests is a rare and special thing. Thank-you for hosting us again.

Lovely saty at Gitcombe House We have come to Gitcombe House at Easter for three years with our four children, partners and our (now 6) grandchildren. It has always been a welcoming place to come to and we all love it. The big house is ideal for a multi-generational holiday, with lovely bedrooms, great living space and a garden. Everyone enjoys daily trips up to the pool and hot tub and it’s great having the tennis court and play area to use up a bit more energy. The house is always very clean and Peter, his family and Emma are always ready to help with any problems. Gitcombe is in a wonderful part of Devon and we use Canoe Adventures when we’re there for a really fun family trip - they cater for all ages with everyone paddling and then the children making a fire - collecting wood and making a spark with flints. All very good for everyone! We also enjoyed walking through Gitcombe grounds down to the Maltsters Inn for lunch and another time we walked to the Durant Arms - both great pubs for a family meal. We celebrated a special birthday during our stay and had a great chef, Nina Groves, who cooked for us at the house. Hope to be back again!

What A Wonderful Place! Just back from a fantastic long weekend end with all the family in Gitcombe House, what a fabulous time! Cannot thank Peter, Amy and Emma for all their help to make our winter break work so well, from the comfort of the beautiful georgian house to the stunning location and facilities on the estate we could not have wished for more. In particular the large indoor pool was a great bonus and the hot tub with it's great views proved very popular, even on the frostiest mornings! Manager Emma kindly arranged for chef Elaine to come in and cook a special dinner for us on the Saturday night, the dining room made up beautifully and it was the highlight of our stay. Lots of winter walks, fresh air, great local pubs nearby then chilling by the open fire, what more could you want! Thanks again to all at Gitcombe.

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful location. Everything is thought of for a relaxing, home away from home. Definitely will be returning!

Wow 🤩 This place is beautiful, we had an amazing stay in Gitcombe House and will definitely be returning. Every little detail was thought of in the house, it was spotlessly clean and owner was so friendly. Thank you for a wonderful weekend in your gorgeous house.
