The place is big enough to welcome a family reunion, and the garden is absolutely amazing ! But the house is old and needs a good freshen up (especially the bathrooms with mould on the ceiling ). Overall I would recommend this place (location is nice) but for a short stay (even if the house has a lot of cool equipments like a barbecue, a billiarRead mored, etc it is too old and not comfortable enough to stay more than a week) Hide

We had a fabulous holiday at Buckland House, plenty of room for all ages to relax and the gardens are lovely with areas for the children to explore. The house is well equipped, as is the outside space with BBQs and summer house. Also a great location near lovely beaches. Would happily go again.

The house and grounds were delightful- what a gorgeous property with lots of diverse areas to use if you are filling the house. The conservatory was an added bonus as was the scorching weather. Great location for walking on the moor or going to the beaches at Blackpool Sands and Slapton. A lovely quiet private getaway. The wifi is not strong enoRead moreugh to work from so use it as a tech break. Fully equipped and Hide

Beautiful home in a private setting, within close driving distance to the sea, home warm and inviting, beautiful garden room, however the home could do with updating particularly in the bathrooms

Excellent value for money, a good base for summer holidays, comfortable beds, powerful showers, lovely garden, big kitchen and outside areas for communal gatherings, what more could you want. Wi-fi a tad unpredictable which some appreciated, others not.

The accommodation is lovely in a very peaceful area, but easy access to so many places. Beautiful walks but equally stay and relax in the house and fantastic gardens. Will visit again

It's a great house in a great location. We were a family group of ten and spent most of our time in the conservatory and bbq areas. These spaces were fantastic, and although some other areas of the house were a little tired, the property was clean and airy.
