Holidays
‘We absolutely loved this house – we will be back’
Picture family and friends feasting together; folk snuggled up by the fire with a favourite book. Hear the thud of a tennis ball; shrieks of delight. Acres of space and lungs full of fresh air. Imagine sinking into bed at the end of a beach-bound day, with nothing to wake you but the prospect of coffee and croissants.
With exclusive use of all that the Estate offers (the Coach House additional accommodation is only rented out in conjunction with Hallsannery House if needed), you and your party can truly spread out and make yourselves at home.
Take your pick from any one of the gorgeous bedrooms – all with super-sized beds and most with spectacular views. Take a pew in one of the three light-filled reception rooms, to watch a game, to play pool or for some chat, chat, chat. Fill the farmhouse kitchen with kids for a table-top supper, or dine in style in the chandelier’d dining room. Head outside for a barbecue, ping pong tournament or even some competitive tennis, or find a bench for a cuppa and drink in Devon’s rolling hills.
Whether you’re celebrating a special birthday or marking an anniversary, whether planning a weekend with friends or family or a university reunion, whether it’s Christmas or Easter or just…‘because’, a stay at Hallsannery will leave you refreshed, revitalized and raring to return.
