Buckland House Review

Buckland House, Buckland Filleigh, Devon EX21 5JD

Buckland House is a splendid property on many levels - its majesty, number of bedrooms and its price per person. It has two dining rooms, two large sitting rooms, two games rooms (table tennis, billiards) and a ballroom. Outside there is a swimming pool (perhaps not for January use), a lake and 200 acres of countryside to run around in without disturbing the neighbours. The upstairs accommodation consists of decent sized bedrooms, some enormous, and a range of bathrooms that are fit for purpose. They are not modern with spotlights, underfloor heating and similar but are clean and homely. The owners live nearby and are easy going and spend a lot of time, as you would expect, keeping the house going. The odd bit of plaster is missing and the odd window frame drafty but I do not think any but the most demanding guests could take issue. One of the best houses I know of that sleeps 26+ and a super venue for your big event. Floor plans.

From the website;

On the first floor there are 15 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. 2 bedrooms have double 4 poster beds and another has a single 4 poster bed. Of the rest there are 5 with double beds and 5 with twin singles and 2 with single beds. Many of the bedrooms have coal effect fires and one has a study and another a large nursery with 2 cots. Five of the bedrooms have Victorian ball and claw baths, 2 with normal baths and 2 with showers.
