Each place to stay at Corffe combines historic character with modern comfort, offering everything from intimate boltholes for two to a grand Georgian house for gatherings of twenty.

Corffe House - sleeps 18–22
Once the rectory to the 13th-century Church of St Peter, Corffe House is an 18th-century Grade II listed Georgian home with striking proportions and sweeping staircases. Today it pairs historic elegance with modern touches, including a private cinema room, making it ideal for family gatherings and milestone celebrations. With nine bedrooms and space for up to 22 guests, it’s a showpiece at the heart of the estate.

The Cottages - sleeps between 2–10
Set around a sunny courtyard, the nine cottages were created from the estate’s original stables and outbuildings. Each has been carefully refurbished to balance comfort and character, offering options for couples, families, and larger groups. Sleeping between two and ten guests, the cottages give flexibility for everything from cosy escapes to full-scale group holidays, all with access to the estate’s facilities.

Together, the house and cottages make Corffe a rare find — a place where history, space, and modern convenience meet in the heart of North Devon.

Set within five acres of beautiful grounds, Corffe is a place where there’s always something to enjoy. Guests can swim in the indoor heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, or gather for a friendly game of tennis on the all-weather court. Children can burn off energy in the adventure playground, while the open lawns and woodland walks offer space to slow down and explore at a gentler pace.

Thoughtful touches make longer stays easy, with ultra-fast WiFi, EV charging points, and a well-equipped laundry room on site. Evenings are made for gathering — whether around the barbecue cabin, at a picnic bench in the woods, or simply watching the sunset across the grounds.

At Corffe, days can be as lively or as laid-back as you choose. From family fun to quiet moments, there’s space here for every kind of holiday rhythm.

Set just outside the pretty village of Tawstock and only a short drive from Barnstaple, Corffe is perfectly placed for exploring North Devon. The region is a haven for anyone who loves the outdoors, with a coastline that’s as dramatic as it is varied. Spend the day on the golden sands of Woolacombe, wander the vast dunes at Braunton Burrows, or take to the waves at one of the area’s renowned surf beaches. The South West Coast Path winds along rugged cliffs and hidden coves, while Exmoor National Park offers wide-open moorland and wooded valleys to explore.

Family days out come easily here. Build sandcastles, hunt for crabs in rock pools, or cycle the scenic Tarka Trail. Local attractions range from theme parks and zoos to sculpture trails and botanical gardens, giving plenty of choice whatever the weather.

And when it’s time to pause, North Devon’s food scene shines — from fish and chips by the sea to cream teas in village cafés. However you spend your days, the region blends adventure and relaxation in a way that keeps guests coming back year after year.
