The Buttery and Cromlech House are two self-catering holiday homes in the wonderful village of Mortehoe, North Devon. Near to Woolacombe and Croyde surfing beaches and surrounded by National Trust land, Mortehoe has something for everyone at all seasons of the year.
- Two large houses carefully restored and modernized in 2011 by architect-owner.
- Views to sea and to fields, but in the heart of an amazing village with 3 excellent pubs.
- Perfectly located near shore & moor in the wonderful village of Mortehoe, near fabulous coastal paths, moorland walks, local swimming beach and Woolacombe surfing.
- Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB ), Unesco Biosphere reserve, conservation area, surrounded by National Trust farmland.
- Near to Mortehoe and Woolacombe Golf Club, Willingcott Golf Club, Saunton Sands and others.
- In high season we normally rent out for multiples of 7 days, with Friday changeover. But we are often able to be flexible.
We bought this former 10-bedroom double-sized house in the village's Victorian 'crescent' in July 2010.
The Buttery (5 bedrooms) and Cromlech House (4 bedrooms) are now our own much-loved family holiday homes and are also available for rent. The two houses are now used as large self-contained properties, and also used together as a 9-bedroom unit called 'The Crescent'.
These are capacious houses. Rent is per property not per occupant, but the equivalent per-person-per-night rates can be less than £10 per-person-per-night in low season for a weekly rental. In high season the rents adjust for higher demand.
If you choose Mortehoe for your holiday we aim to help make it your best holiday ever!
