Hayescott
Sleeps 10 + 2 cots in 2 properties | 3.7 miles SE of Widemouth Bay
Hayescott, a special find destined to become the backdrop to many memorable holidays, was once the home of the schoolmaster at the neighbouring Old College, now owned by the Landmark Trust. Set in the centre of Week St Mary, beautiful 16th Century granite and stone Hayescott House has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, together with Pennacott, a modern cottage within the same grounds, although each benefits from its own garden. The village boasts a pub and shop, and the beach at Widemouth Bay is only a few miles away. Ideal for walkers, surfers and historians alike, Hayescott offers tradition, convenience and style in a great location with easy access for exploring the north coast.

Hayescott House’s exterior belies a spacious, beautifully restored interior, the huge dining-room fireplace, low lintels, beams and uneven floors throughout evoking a sense of history. Furnished in oak and elegant fabrics, the sitting-room and dining-room overlook the lane. Original floor slates complement granite worktops in the hand-made kitchen, where a light-filled sitting-area at one end leads to the terrace and the enclosed garden. The ground floor bedroom has French doors overlooking the garden, and the bedrooms upstairs, two with sleigh beds, enjoy views to the valley and Dartmoor beyond. Please note that the changeover times are 4pm on arrival and 10am on departure.
