The Old Manor House

The Old Manor House is settled in the charming village of Lifton, Devon.

Found in the centre of this quaint settlement, this property boasts traditional and spacious rooms with contemporary features, making a great choice for a family holiday.

Beginning with the homely sitting room, here you can feel the character of the property come out in full flow, with two fireplaces - one holding an open fire (for decoration only) and the other, a woodburning stove - and antique style furnishings beneath the exposed wooden beams, you will be hard pressed to find somewhere more inviting than here.

Watch TV with your loved ones or pick one of the many board games to choose from and enjoy some quality time together.

Head into the kitchen/diner when everyone is hungry and get cooking using the fantastic electric Range cooker and hob, with sofas in here and a dining table as well, there's plenty of room for some supervisors to oversee the chefs with a glass of wine.

For more formal evenings, serve up a feast in the dining room where a beautiful long table rests with ornately carved legs, with a woodburning stove set in a rustic stone fireplace.

Soak in the bubbling hot tub after a busy day of exploring the surrounding area, while the children play on the large lawn area.

When you're ready to rest up for the next day ahead, travel up to the first floor to find five beautiful double bedrooms, enjoying charming views from the windows over the village and adorned with quality bed linens and furnishings to make you feel as settled as possible.

Six bedrooms, made up of king-size, double, and single beds, provide a space to rest after a busy day of exploring, one with a spiral staircase leading to a pleasant mezzanine space with a double bed; three of the bedrooms offer en-suites, and there is also a family bathroom for freshening up between activities.

If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful home, then begin with a stroll around the village, where shops and eateries mean you’ve got the essentials on the doorstep and easy access to the surrounding countryside and seasides.

A scenic drive away, you can enjoy a beach day at Boscastle Beach for sun, sea and sand, with nearby towns along Cornwall's north coast well worth a visit too, including the charming old fishing village of Port Isaac.

Within reach is the historic Tintagel, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur, with a rugged clifftop holding an amazing statue in tribute to this myth and a castle to be explored.

Both the Bodmin Moors and the Tamar Valley AONB offer amazing walking country, along with the huge Dartmoor National Park where a whole host of activities can be enjoyed.

The Old Manor House is a fabulous property with a perfect balance of old and new, waiting to be the gracious host to your family holiday in Devon.
