  The house and garden were fabulous. Huge garden that the kids and dogs loved playing in. The house was enormous with loads of room for 10 of us and 2 dogs, very well equipped and spotless. Easy to walk into Braunton and a short drive to some wonderful beaches. Would love to come back and highly recommend.

• "We had a fantastic week in North Devon staying at Nairn house."

  On arrival the house was immaculate and we felt at home from the start with a welcome bottle of wine left by the owners. The local town has plenty of shops and places to eat and is only 10-15 min walk away. The facilities in the house were excellent, with pool, table football and of course the jacuzzi was a massive plus. Overall the house was well presented with loads of space and quality throughout, we would highly recommend a stay. It was nice to get a call from Andy and Iona letting us know we could arrive early on the first day, which was welcome after a long drive. All in all a great week away and we would love to come back.

  Very spacious, lots of room to spread out. A lovely garden for the children to play in and the hot tub was a massive hit. Easy off-road parking and only a few minutes drive to the excellent Saunton Sands beach. A wonderful house in which to celebrate our Ruby Wedding anniversary and our granddaughter's second birthday.

• "Highly recommended holiday home."

  The property is beautiful with a lovely garden and grounds. Lots of space for large parties and all the rooms are amazing. Our 4 year old daughter especially enjoyed exploring the garden, games room and loved the huge bath! On arrival we had a delicious cake to enjoy, along with other extras, which were a lovely surprise and added to our stay. The location is great as a base with attractions not being too far a drive away. A walk into the local village is just 15 minutes and the local Thai restaurant is worth a visit. A big thank you to Iona and Andy for accommodating our requests before our journey down and for our stay at Nairn, which was hassle free and relaxing. Will definitely be looking to book again.

• "Nairn is an absolutely fantastic holiday house."

  We were a party of 11, aged between 70 and 3 and it catered for us all with room to spare! All the bedrooms were spacious with ample wardrobe space and great en-suites in the doubles. The main bathroom had a huge bath which the younger children enjoyed. Downstairs the accommodation was vast, the games room was very popular with the adults, the kitchen/dining room/ living room was very well equipped and the main lounge was huge! With the separate smaller sitting room providing some welcome quiet space on occasion. Outside the garden is great for children and the odd adult game of boules but the hit of the holiday, according to the children, was the hot tub. The location is great with a 10-15 minute walk to town, Staunton Sands and various other places to visit within a short drive. With plenty of off road parking this really is a perfect holiday house. The owner, Iona, was very helpful with information before we arrived and we very much appreciated the welcome pack and delicious cake.

• "We had a very enjoyable week at this wonderful house and it's large garden."

  Plenty of space for all - from the youngest grandchild to the oldest grandparent. All of us (7 adults and 6 children) settled comfortably into the spacious surroundings. We just chilled in the house for the first two days before venturing out to nearby beaches. We particularly enjoyed Saunton Sands beach and Putsborough beach. They had cafes and toilets and plenty of space for the kids. An enjoyable 15 min walk to the shops and takeaways in village and a large Tesco only 2 miles away. Quick and easy to stock up on food and other essentials We would definitely recommend Nairn.

• "The house was incredible, the furnishings, cleanliness, everything about it was amazing especially the hot tub."

  The Gardner and pool cleaner came while we were there so you knew that the tub was genuinely clean. The bathrooms were stunning and the family bath was the biggest I’ve ever seen. The location is lovely although we did use the car most days to travel to see sights, but coming home was amazing. The owners were really friendly and messaged me so that we could share any concerns (not that we had any). I didn’t want to come home as Nairn was incredible.

  The house exceeded our expectations, the pictures don't do it justice. Most of the rooms are huge, giving even 10 people plenty of space. Everything was very clean, all the extras in the house such as dishwasher tabs, tea towels, bin liners and amazing array of kitchen equipment means you can literally turn up with your clothes. There was never anything we wanted that we could not find. We even needed a piece of blu-tack and actually found one. The T.V is huge, the fires and hot tub added to our stay.

• "Nairn is a beautiful spacious house but with a lovely welcoming, homely feel."

  We were extremely impressed with the way the owner had thought of everything and made the house very comfortable with all the equipment that you might want, this was over and above items you might need. The house itself, was spotless. There was a wonderful welcome pack with lots of lovely above average quality items in it. Attention to detail was apparent everywhere. There was the opportunity to do lots on a rainy day or sit in the quiet room and read a book. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed the beaches, the nearest one (Saunton Sands) was our favourite and just 10 minutes away. The owner was in contact by e-mail and both very helpful and friendly with making suggestions and recommendations when asked, always responding promptly. It was a great place for a family get together and we are hoping to return with family members who couldn't make it this time.

• "A much looked forward to family holiday staying at Nairn and it didn’t disappoint."

  Eleven family members including 3 children and we were all catered for. We have stayed in many holiday houses and found that we didn’t have enough pans or kitchen equipment, but not here. We were delighted that the cupboards were full of everything we could possibly need. All the rooms and bedrooms were tastefully presented and comfortable, and there were even children’s toys for our 4 year old grandson to play with. If I had one criticism it would be that there wasn’t a tumble dryer. The utility room was equipped with washing machine, iron etc, but no dryer. I would like to say thank you for the lovely welcome pack on arrival, it was very much appreciated, we would definitely recommend Nairn to anyone wanting a fabulous house to stay in for their holiday.

• "The house and facilities were lovely and to a high standard."

  The house was very well equipped and incredibly spacious. Our only complaint would be the fact that the building work was literally going on at the end of the garden so workers were able to look into the garden. In addition the noise sometimes started at 5am with deliveries and normally at 7.30. We were told that work was going on at the other side of a field not at the end of the garden.

  Thank you taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Nairn. The note (in red) included at the foot of the listing also flashes up when customers proceed to the booking stage (just to be sure all guests are aware). As you'll see the development started in October 2019 and at that time the initial works were three fields away. As anticipated, the works have progressed over time and the development has come closer. The hedging has been planted in order to provide some visual screening and a discount was set in place with the building works in mind. Property Owner

  Everything was wonderful, apart from the 'only 6 rule', which couldn't be helped. The house is incredible, very spacious, well maintained & with everything provided for a great holiday for 12 people. Many great spaces for socialising, kitchen, sitting room, hot tub ... Log fire a hit as well, don't forget to get some firelighters. The pictures don't do it justice.

  For us the focal point was the cavernous kitchen where, as a group we prepared our Christmas dinner and drank a little wine. the space the house provides is plenty enough if you want to sneak away for a little bit of peace & quiet while allowing everyone else to carry on with whatever they're doing.

  This is actually misrepresentation and we would have looked for something else, had we known. Apart from that, the house was lovely - spacious, well-appointed and clean. There were something to please everyone - hot tub. table tennis, pool table, garden play items for the children, wood burning stoves, two fridges! The location is ideal for beaches and shops. Although it suggests there is parking for "up to four cars", there is actually plenty of parking.

  Thank you for your comments and I am sorry you did not think the description was correct with regard to the bathrooms. We have checked this and believe it is a true reflection of the property as there are 5 wash rooms including the wet room downstairs and a separate toilet which is often welcome by large parties or the less mobile. I know you were there also celebrating a 70th so am very pleased you had a lovely time and enjoyed the area. We appreciate your feedback. Property Owner

  A couple of items we would have liked to have added would be sun loungers for the garden. There was only limited seating on hard wooden chairs on the patio and no where to lie out on. The other thing would be tvs in at least some of the the bedrooms as with only 2 in the whole house, it was a bit limiting catering for 12 people aged from 3 to 64.

The furnishings are very tasteful and of very high quality, it was a pleasure to live there for a few days. The children had a great time using the hot tub, pool table and XBox, in fact we didn't ever watch TV the whole weekend. The weather was pretty miserable, but somehow that didn't seem to matter. The house was lovely and warm even without the wood burners, though they are a very nice feature too. I highly recommend this property.
