“Ash Park was an absolutely beautiful house.”

It’s full of light and space and the views are just incredible. We had a lovely time in the outdoor pool which was heated to the perfect temperature and our teenagers loved the table tennis and table football in the garage. The garden is spectacular with a fabulous array of plants and beautifully landscaped to make the best of the views. If we had one minor criticism it would be the upstairs showers which could do with updating but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment of this lovely place. Thank ...

“It is very misleading to advertise this property for 14 people .”

Ten adults is maximum. There are only 5 bedrooms and the dining room is only big enough for 10 chairs. We have stayed for many years in this property and we have great respect for how it is looked after. Sykes increased the rentall by almost 1,000 pounds this year which did not seem justifiable and consequently two of the June weeks were not booked. I suggest this amount could be reconsidered. We noticed small considerations, such as salt and pepper, dishwasher tablets, extra toilet rolls for emergencies etc., were not supplied and this information needs to be given to guests pre arrival. Ash Park is a beautiful and unique property in area of quietness and calm for all those people who want to leave the troubles of the times behind.

“I have just returned from a family holiday at Ash Park and what a stunning house ,with all the high-quality essentials you need for a wonderful holiday with breathtaking views from all rooms.”

The garden is also fantastic but has loads of levels with steps which children need to take care on.The pool area is ideal for a dip and sunbathing with lots of sun loungers.The surrounding area around the house has loads of great walks leading from the front gate which are as long or short as you want to make them. East Pawle which is a short walk up hill has an excellent tea room, quirky pub, small general store and small antique shop. I can highly recommend Ash Park for a fantastic holiday - despite the typical long winding narrow Devon roads around the area leading to the house!

“Overall the whole family had a very enjoyable time in particular the pool and gardens were a delight especially for the 4 grandchildren and we all took advantage of these features due to the good weather during the majority of our stay.”

Catering facilities were also good with plenty of equipment for both indoors and outdoors. There were a few minor matters which if attended to ( we left a small list in the suggestion book ) would make the experience even better.

“The house looked amazing on the website, but in reality it is even more spectacular!”

Every bedroom has a sea view, the beds are comfy with lovely linen. The grounds are vast and hide numerous seating areas where you can enjoy the view of the sea or the garden. The kitchen is well equipped and the utility room boasts 2 freezers and an extra fridge allowing food storage for all 14 of us. The utility room also has a washing machine and tumble drier to freshen up the pool towels provided. The large living room seaated our whole party and had panoramic views of the sea. The swimming pool was really warm and maintained throughout the week. There was a trunk of games and puzzles and a bookshelf of books. The babies were also provided for with a baby monitor, cot and high chair. The separate garden room was modern and perfect for our teenagers to have their own space. I really can't think of any critisisms. I would highly recommend this property but be prepared for very narrow lanes in this area and a steep rocky climb/ decent to and from the beach.

“We went to Ash Park to celebrate a 90th birthday for my Mum, family and friends came as and when they could.”

The pool was enjoyed by everyone and we had such beautiful weather. Although it is such a big house it seemed to wrap itself around us and was extreme;y welcoming. Everyone thought I was very clever to have found such a place and I have passed on details to lots of people. Thank you for making a special time more special. Look forward to coming again when I am 70!! Thank you to the owners, staff and Helpful Holidays. Best wishes Shirlewy

- Mrs Reeves, June 2018
“We have returned to Ash Park for our big annual family holiday for a number of years now and feel as if we are ‘coming home’.”

The property has everything you could need and more besides. It is a gorgeous house, very well appointed and there is always something new added/updated, to make the break more comfortable. We just love it and always hate leaving.

It is the sunniest of south-facing houses, imaginatively designed, set in the most beautiful, enclosed, private 3 acre landscaped garden (gardeners happy to 'chat plants' to you as they work): pond (unnetted), lawns, winding paths and steps through the gardens and escarpment, huge rocks and trees (lovely autumn colour), a kidney-shaped outdoor heated swimming pool (fenced, 27' x 12' x 2'9" to 5'6" deep, available 25 May to 13 September in 2019, 17 May to 14 September in 2020), lots of hidden seating and patios, two terraces (furniture) and balustrade.The house has huge picture windows, bringing the views and garden into the house.

Sweeping drive to 6 wide steps up to a verandah (garden seat) and door into spacious, open hall, light streaming down over the staircase.

This room opens to south-west facing sunroom with door to balcony and pool.
