  Perfection

  This vacation was extremely special to me since it was a surprise my husband arranged for my 30th birthday. We arrived at Colleton Hall as a party of 14 guests and stayed for 4 nights. Using the word "perfection" would probably not be strong enough. The venue is absolutely stunning in every way and equipped to one's every whim. Let me mention the hardwood floors, the magnificent artwork, the magical forest and lake (that are full of friendly animals), the fireplaces, several fully equipped kitchens and dining areas, and of course, the marvellous suite with the freestanding bathtub watching over the forest. Not only was the venue so magnificent that we would hardly want to leave it during the day in order to explore the area and near cities, but it was also fully equipped to help you enjoy the outdoors as well. One of the greatest features was the boot room with several pairs of boots to be used for forest exploration, sports equipment, dog toys and what not. Staying in Colleton Hall made me feel like I am living in a fairy tale I could not even believe exists in the real world. I would also like to mention the amazing interactions we had with everyone involved. Starting with lovely Debbie that was ready to meet and greet the guests on arrival day and wish a farewell on the last day. Debbie is a genuinely lovely woman who made us feel welcomed and cared for at every moment along the way. Russel, whom I had not had the chance to meet in person, made me feel welcomed even from afar. My husband mentioned he received a lot of help and care from Russel, which made him feel much at ease while arranging such a complicated trip. I have not got the words to describe the gratitude I feel for Russel, Debbie, and being able to stay at Colleton Hall. These days were unforgettable and I will be only waiting to come back.

  We absolutely loved our stay in this quaint village. The accommodation was pristine clean, the view wonderful, the owners accommodating and helpful, and the local areas stunning. The garden overlooks picturesque fields, several which are available and perfect for dog walks, whilst others give you a lovely view of cows grazing and general farm life. The garden itself is fenced, with metal fence mesh behind it to ensure your pooch won't take themselves on walkies without you. Inside you have all you need, with WiFi, Netflix, all your expected utilities, heating (and a log burner), a powerful shower and a good sized bath. An upstairs and a downstairs toilet also makes things a lot nicer for a family. The local pub is but a few minutes walk away and the people there are very friendly and offer good quality food. Tiverton is the closest town we used and is around a 20 minute drive, is a nice place to visit, and have a really nice view of the river running through it via a bridge and a walkway running next to it. After having several holidays in a row that were more hustle and bustle, this was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air and has made us put Devon at the top of our list of holiday destinations next year! Highly recommended, and from the communication we've had with the owner, it is a place they genuinely want to pour their love and passion into.

  Perfect for the whole family!

  It’s hard not to fall in love with Colleton Hall. Our party of ten, aged eight to eighty, from the UK and the US was given the most fabulous setting for a longed for family break. The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and fun (wonderful art) with a baby grand in the drawing room. Colleton gives everyone privacy and space (nearly 40 acres helps). Walks here are sublime and the woods magical. There’s even a camp fire set up plus several picnic spots with benches. The super-equipped kitchen(s) make cooking pleasurable and the terrace a serene start or end to the day for summer dining. We learnt to paddleboard on the swimming lake and never made it to the beach. In fact, Colleton Hall was enough for us all. As my father said, ‘I’m in heaven.’ Russell and Richard are thoughtful and consummate hosts and clearly work hard to ensure guests want for nothing. The highlight for my young American nephew was enjoying a picnic under a 350 year old oak tree – something he’ll never do back home. We are not the repeat guest sort but Colleton is so special and such value for money, it has got us all looking in our diaries…

  An amazing house with a facinating history!

  What an amazing house and grounds! We were shown around by Russell and Richard who explained everything and had left welcome gifts, as well as groceries and toiletries for our use. The house was beautifully presented with top end appliances and decor and furnishings sympathetic to the style of the house. The house has a fascinating history which can be seen in the architecture which has been thoughtfully revealed around the property. There was a substantial library, eclectic artwork and a grand piano to enjoy. Every room was clean and fresh. The grounds were extensive with a vine covered outside dining area on the patio, an orchard, vegetable garden plus fields and woodland to explore. The serenity of the lake was wonderfully relaxing and taking the boat out was very popular with all the group. Despite the sad news of our Queen, our week at Colleton Hall has been the most enjoyable and restful holiday we’ve ever had and we had to drag ourselves away to explore the Devonshire area, otherwise could have happily spent the whole week not having left the property.
