Features & amenities
Revelstoke Park House is a gem of a holiday property. A farmhouse dating back to the 1600s, this house has all the picture-postcard appeal you could hope for from a Devon let. It’s ideal for an idyllic family or group getaway beside the Devon coast.
It may be centuries old but this property has been given a seriously modern overhaul when it comes to comfort and amenities. Warm white walls with soft lighting impart a stylish and spacious feel throughout the house. The slate flooring lends a quality feel to the place, while the underfloor heating is a lovely bonus during colder months. Upstairs, soft thick carpets raise the cosiness factor.
But you’re never far from features that highlight the house’s heritage too. From the pleasingly irregular curved walls to exposed timber work, there are period touches aplenty. And the headline acts must surely be the grand gabled porch with its huge, stunning metal-studded door, and the striking inglenook fireplace in the lounge.
Outside, you’ll find a lovely enclosed garden, complete with terraces and decked areas, patio tables and chairs. Perfect for firing up the barbecue or simply lounging outside and taking in the Devon sea air.
