Owned and run by the Williams family, it has been our home since it was built in 1752. Set amongst gardens and woodland, it commands far-reaching and beautiful views across The Taw Estuary.
   

During recent years Upcott House has been skilfully converted and all the accommodation is is well-appointed, spacious, comfortable and fully equipped, including DVD players.

There are 2 cottages and four apartments sleeping 2/4 to 6/8 with cots and available from Easter to the end of October.
We are situated in an ideal position to explore this beautiful area. Just a few minutes drive will enable you to discover some of North Devon's finest sandy beaches, spectacular rugged coastal scenery and the unspoilt beauty of Exmoor.
