Beautifully presented Georgian house overlooking the rugged North Devon coastline in Bideford. Available for exclusive rental for up to 24 people in 10 bedrooms

Berry is an elegant Georgian house with its origins dating back to mediaeval times situated remotely in open farmland close to the cliffs of the rugged and dramatic North Devon coast. the house was enlarged and completely remodelled in the 1760s to provide the home for the land agent of the neighbouring Hartland Abbey Estate. Workmanship was to exceptionally high standards for the time, including fine panelling to many of the rooms. The house remained remarkably untouched until acquired recently by the present owners who have undertaken its painstaking and sympathetic restoration in 2006/7. Great care has been taken to retain the historic character of the building whilst discreetly incorporating the best modern services and to provide a great sense of contemporary style without the feeling of being 'too new'! The house can accommodate up to 24 people in its 10 bedrooms and it can be exclusively hired for a range of events including family reunions/ holidays, weddings and corporate events, providing a unique and tranquil location.

The team at Big House brings jointly more than thirty years of experience in business management and hospitality. We believe in helping to arrange probably the best large house parties and events you will attend or host. We fuss over everything, ensuring that all these elements are of a high, consistent standard. From the crisp table linen and sheets, to the log fire laid ready to put a match to, we think the extra effort is worth it to ensure our guests arrive to a wonderfully warm, spotlessly clean house, full of character and atmosphere - a real home from home. The houses are ideal for celebrations of all kinds including birthdays, anniversaries and reunions. We can enhance your stay with a range of catering from larder supplies and ready to serve meals or provide a fully served dinner for your special occasion.
