Trafalgar Barton
Enjoy an unforgettable holiday with your loved ones at Trafalgar Barton, a majestic country house that sleeps 12 and overlooks the gorgeous rolling hills and gentle coastline that make Devon so special. This magnificent getaway has a real sense of glamour about it yet retains a welcoming, homely quality ensuring a comfortable stay for all your friends and family.
Step through the fabulous front door and be greeted by the grand entrance hall with its polished wooden floor and breathtaking staircase. The sense of grandeur is continued in the main sitting-room; a wonderfully bright and airy space lit by crisp natural light flooding in through the fantastic large windows which offer spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. The house faces south, meaning you can enjoy the sun in this room all day long. Settle down in the evenings on the inviting L-shaped sofa and enjoy the warm glow of the wood-burning stove with a glass of something special.
Open the fabulous double doors and enter the dining-room. A beautifully finished wooden dining-table sits proudly in the middle of the room, perfect for hosting cherished meals with your loved ones. A glorious chandelier perches above the table, soaking the room in a welcoming warm hue. Next door you will find the superb kitchen complete with its own Aga range. Enjoy preparing meals in this spacious room which is great for late-night socialising with a drink in your hand. A smaller dining-table is tucked into the corner of the space, perfect for those late brunches in the warm morning sun.
Further down the corridor, you will find a second sitting-room. There is a beautifully cosy feel to this room with the stunning granite fireplace taking centre stage. A wonderful Smart TV sits above the fireplace providing entertainment for those relaxing nights in. If you are looking forward to a bit of privacy with your favourite book, the charming, airy snug is just for you. Spend hours basking in the relaxing ambience of this gorgeous space.
Venture up the opulent staircase to discover the many bedrooms of Trafalgar Barton. Relax in the indulgent free-standing bath sat snugly in bedroom two's en suite or take a moment on the comfortable sofa in bedroom three. Bedroom four is brilliant for little ones with its twin beds while bedroom five is truly magnificent with its super-king double bed and wonderful sea views. Whichever bedroom you choose, you'll be guaranteed a brilliant night's sleep. A handy shower-room can also be found on the first floor which is great for guests that don't have an en suite to unwind in after a busy day. Travel further upstairs and embrace your competitive side in Trafalgar Barton's games-room complete with a table-tennis table, TV, plenty of board games and even some sea views.
Once you've explored Trafalgar Barton's interior, venture outside and wander around the site's beautiful and tranquil outside space. Enjoy breathtaking views across the valley and out to sea on the patio area which also acts as a great sun-trap. The fabulous barbecue makes al fresco dining easy while the padded outdoor dining area is perfect for a spot of stargazing with a delicious meal. Soak up the Devon sunshine on the chic sunbeds that offer yet more specular views across the valley. Further down the garden, there is plenty of lawn space to enjoy as well as an intimate and comfortable day bed.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Ms Shields
Fabulous house. So spacious, comfortable, warm and just perfect for our multi-generation family Christmas. Huge kitchen, well equipped for cooking Christmas dinner, and we appreciated the extra baking trays/foil left for us for this, and the beautiful Christmas trees. Great showers, loads of hot water, house was warm, lovely fires. Easy walk to the beach, more strenuous walks in all directions. We also had a super meal at the Mason's Arms which is 10 minutes walk away. Would thoroughly recommend this house - we all loved it.
Mrs Humphrey
This is the second new year period we have stayed at Trafalgar Barton and find the property a lovely place to stay with family for quality time together.
Mr Field
Trafalgar Barton is a lovely big house full of character and the reception hall and grand staircase will blow you away. There are many rooms that you can relax in the property is lovely and warm and in beautiful surroundings. The only downside it's a bit expensive. Many thanks Mr Field
Mrs van Royen
Spacious, comfortable house, very well suited for our holiday with two families. Large kitchen with AGA cooker! Very good location with beautiful view over the village.
Mrs McLaughlin
We loved this property and had a wonderful week. The rooms are incredible (very large and airy) and the inside space very generous - perfect for when the weather is bad. The house has everything you could need, and we all benefitted from the several reception rooms - and loved the warmth from the kitchen's aga. However, please note that the mattresses on the beds are extremely soft. Many are old memory foam and the others are also very soft.
Mrs Humphrey
Trafalgar Barton is a lovely place to stay with the family (ranging from 9 year old to 75 year old) . I would thoroughly recommend this property.
Mr Ellis
Very welcoming property in a lovely setting. Immaculately clean and very warm, even on a very wet and windy October day when we arrived.
Mr Sanders
Stunning property, all you could wish for. Excellent presentation, very well equipped, thoroughly recommended
