Ayrmer House

We couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful stay.

The accommodation was absolutely beautiful and located in such a perfect setting with only a ten minute walk to the beach. It was so clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Ella was such a perfect host and couldn’t do enough to make our stay so special. This is a property we would highly recommend and look forward to booking again soon. Our favourite trips were walking to Burgh Island, crabbing and shopping in Kingsbridge, swimming at the cove and relaxing on the beach at Challaborough.

We found it to be a delightful location, a well equipped property, and with an helpful host

The house is spacious, clean and well equiped.

The views are amazing and the beds are comfy. The weather was great so we enjoyed many evenings in the garden after exploring the area during the day. A great holiday was had by all.

This cottage is the best place we have ever stayed.

So well equipped and clean. The accomodation was spacious, the beds comfortable, the views amazing and the garden a real sun trap out of the wind. Lovely brownies to welcome us. The host was super too. We enjoyed many hours just watching the view, the wildlife and the distant wallkers. Great to have so many books there to choose from, and even a wide range of magazines. Thank you so much, we will be back.

This accommodation far exceeded our expectations.

The moment you walk into the house you're greeted by an absolutely stunning view! Everything was spotlessly clean and it is the best equipped property we’ve stayed in. The beds were very comfortable and the hostess (Isla) was incredibly accommodating. It is a little tricky to initially find, as the village is old and of a traditional Devon style - small country lanes with lots of nooks and crannies. But this, in our opinion, adds to the character and charm of the accommodation. There’s a good traditional 13th century pub (within a 5 minute walk of the property) serving excellent food and has a reasonable selection of ales and other drinks. If hiking is your thing, then this is the place for you, it is in easy reach of the Devon coastal path and has a pretty cove that is excellent for rock pooling. We were a mixed generation group (grandparents, parents and older teens), everyone had a truly wonderful stay and hope to return.

This was an outstanding property and more than lived up to expectations.

It was equipped with everything you could possibly need and was very spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent for exploring the Coast path and it was just a short walk down to Challaborough Bay and Burgh Island. The views from the property were stunning. The Owner made us feel very welcome and provided a lot of useful local information - including a recommendation for The Journey's End pub, where we had a very nice meal. This certainly ranks as one of the best properties we have ever stayed in.

Lovely situation.

Great accommodations. Will be back

Wow, the view from the property is amazing and well worth the little challenging drive to the property down a few miles of country lanes.

The property is very comfortable with lots of facilities and the owner is very helpful but also very unobtrusive. The great welcome pack with home made brownies was a great start. This is a great base for exploring Devon. Great WIFI and comfy beds.

A wonderful week in a beautiful house with the most fantastic views.

Lovely touch’s in the house, all very clean with great facilities and comfortable beds. The owner Ella is a lovely welcoming hostess. Great space for parking cars too.

Great situation, owner was very welcoming, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Ayrmer House is a fantastic holiday home situated in a beautiful spot.

The views were stunning and we enjoyed lots of walks without using the car. Ella is a great hostess and provided everything we could possibly need. We hope to return next year!

We had the best time at Arymer House, everything was perfect.

The house was clean to perfection, Ella had thought of everything we might need. The homemade brownies on arrival were such a treat, best brownies I’ve ever tasted. They didn’t last long! The view from the living room window blew me away. Will definitely be coming back we had the most lovely week. Thank you Ella!

This is our second visit, and we are equally pleased with our stay.

Ella is the perfect host. The house is spotless, and the view is magnificent.

We absolutely loved our week in Ayrmer House.

Ella was on hand if we needed anything and the house was spotlessly clean. Bedding was lovely and the home baked cake that greeted us on arrival was most welcome. The view from the house was fabulous and the rock in the bay told you the state of the sea if you were looking to take the tidal road to Aveton Giffard. If you like peace and quiet and the sound of the sea then Ayrmer Cove is just a 10 minute walk from the house. The house has everything you need plus an unexpected bonus if you find yourself on the grey sofa. Ayrmer House is a wonderful place to come back to after spending the day walking and exploring the surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed the old carriage drive round the headland into Noss Mayo followed by lunch in the Ship Inn. Ayrner House was spacious, quiet and tranquil and we can't wait to come back again.

The property was beyond are expectations.

The owner had catered for everything.It was beautifully furnished in the bedrooms and downstairs.We brought logs with us for the fire but the property was always so warm we took them home again.The views were stunning.We would love to come back again soon.

This is a truly fabulous location for a holiday house and the owner was fantastic.

The house was spotless and everything you could possibly want was in the house. The tranquillity of this house was amazing in peaceful surroundings. This house is so well thought out in its design and there is a wonderful surprise for those who choose to sit on the grey sofa. The walk to the beach is beautiful which ever direction you decided to take down the valley or up to the top of the cliffs. Ayrmer Cove is beautiful and if rock pooling is something you enjoy this is a great place. Walking is spectacular and we would highly recommend a walk to Burgh Island.

Beautiful views and amazing walks from the doorstep.

Couldn’t fault the facilities provided.. definitely thought of everything… even delicious homemade brownies on arrival! Couldn’t recommend enough!

An excellent holiday with glorious views and very friendly owner!

Ella was a lovely lady nothing was too much trouble.

The property was superb, witg a magnificent view.

Such a fabulous house and location, we had a lovely holiday.

Ringmore is delightful and the pub excellent, with friendly staff and a talented chef. The house is spacious and extremely well equipped. The welcome treats were really appreciated. We saw a variety of wildlife from the house including fox, deer and woodpecker. The location is peaceful and beautiful, with superb views from the terrace and practically every window. We would be delighted to return, it is simply one of the nicest places we have stayed in the South Hams.

Ayrmer House is a beautiful house in an outstanding location.

A feeling of calm and relaxation occurs as soon as you arrive. The views start as you drive up to the house and continue as you see the uninterrupted view to the sea from the huge windows. Great walks to Ayrmer cove and also onto Bigbury on sea. A visit to the pub the journeys end is always a must. This is our 4th stay at Ayrmer and I know it won't be our last.

A top of the range cottage.

Beautifully furnished and with a view to die for looking out to sea through an isolated cove. A lovely 13th Century in the village and a well stocked general stores only 2 miles away. Bigbury on Sea is nearest beach and well provided with water sports, lifeguards and catering outlets. Access road to cottage through village is best suited to smaller cars as narrow road. However, a 5* property and a lovely owner living in the adjoining house.

Just a very special place to stay, peaceful, comfortable and a wonderful view

Our first experience at this type of holiday, would we do it again?

Yes! The view out of the living room window was very impressive and the pictures don't do it justice, weather was kind, wall to wall sunshine, local pub excellent. We had everything we needed, it was lovely to meet Ella the owner who lived adjacent, also her tin of treats and cold bottle was very welcome after an arduous Bank Holiday drive down. Tranquil, quiet, views to die for and a large house that met our needs, relaxing worry free holiday. Thank you.

Lovely property with a wonderful owner living below.

This is a beautiful spot with an idyllic view of the sea. We had a great family holiday with 2 grown up children and will be returning with more of the family next year

We had such a wonderful Christmas, our second stay in this property and it was just as stunning as we remembered it being, a beautiful setting to relax and recharge in.

Fabulously equipped too.

Three generations stayed a week and it was perfect in every way including the weather, location, the accommodation, facilities and the welcome.

Husband and I stayed several years ago when it was a bed and breakfast but it works so well as a self catering holiday house. The view is outstanding and access to the beautiful cove is an easy 20 minute walk. We couldn’t fault the place.

The property was absolutely spotless and very well equipped.

There were so many extra touches that made it very special. Ella the owner is such a gracious hostess and made us feel very welcome. The view down to the cove is absolutely stunning. We have already rebooked for next year!

In Ayrmer House there is everything you can wish.

It is perfect equipped and Ella is a lovely and kind person.

2nd stay at Ayrmer and still absolutely stunning.

Ella is the perfect host. The property has been redecorated since our last visit and feels lovely and fresh. Ayrmer is a very comfortable cottage with everything you need for a visit to South Devon. It is very spacious and the views are stunning.

Gosh , where to start…a lovely 1960’s house with amazing views and an absolutely charming host, Emma, someone I’d love to spend a long lunch with to hear more about the history of Ringmore.

Ayrmer House is exceptionaly warm and cosy. The beds, pillows, linen are super comfortable. The kitchen is very well equiped. Location wise this is a great touring base to see all Devon has to offer. Equally if you need a quiet week to relax and unwind from city life, this is an absolutely fantastic spot. We parked up the car and enjoyed the fabulous coastal walks direct from the house over to Bigbury on Sea . The local pub, the Journey’s End, is a short stroll and serves really great food and drinks (do book for food though as it is very popular).

This is our second stay at Ayrmer House and having never stayed anywhere twice before, this sentiment hopefully speaks for itself.

The house is wonderful, the location is outstanding and we will definitely be returning again.

A beautiful property, well equipped and spotlessly clean.

Amazing view down the valley. It is so helpful to have the owner Ella on site, who can deal with any queries immediately. The only downside is the narrow lanes to get there!

We had a wonderful holiday at Ayrmer house, it is brilliantly situated close to the south west footpath, with glorious sea views from every window and on a footpath to a secluded cove where we swam everyday.

There is a convenient shop nearby and a really good pub in the village, I would advise pre booking. Everything you could need is available in the house which is light and airy and extremely comfortable. Ella the owner is helpful and friendly. I hope very much to return in the future and explore this area more from this lovely house.

Amazing house host views and beaches

Well presented and well equipped holiday home.

Recommended

Lovely homely feel, wonderful views and comfy cosy beds.

super friendly owner Ella

The 3pm check in time and the 9am check out time due to COVID is just ridiculous.

We effectively lost two days of our holiday. We actually left the evening before we were due to leave because we couldn’t face the thought of having to get up and out by 9am, especially with the additional asks to strip bedding etc. So we were not at all happy about that.

We had a wonderful week at Ayrmer House.

The view from the house is just stunning - the huge windows downstairs allow you to enjoy the view to the full and having balconies outside every bedroom is a huge bonus. The owner (who lives downstairs) was extremely friendly and helpful - a lovely lady. Ayrmer Cove is about 1km away down a walking path and the beautiful beaches of Bigbury and Bantham are only a short drive away. We ate in the Journey's End (a stone's throw from Ayrmer House) and also the Pickwick arms in near by St Ann's Chapel and both were excellent. The only downside is the narrow country roads which can make for stressful driving but it was worth it!

Ayrmer House is the perfect coastal hideaway, whether its warm and sunny or stormy and cold.

The house has everything you could need and is immaculately clean (vital for a relaxing holiday at the moment!) The views are spectacular and the short walk to the cove is worth doing as many times as possible during your holiday. The village is beautiful, and the Journeys End pub does excellent food (takeaway only until end of May 21). The location is fantastic for exploring the coastal path, with lovely walks in all directions, particularly worth the 2 1/2 mile walk to Burgh Island and a pint at the Pilchard Inn. It's also a great base for exploring the local area with Kingsbridge and Salcombe easy drives away. Can't recommend the property enough. I'm sure there are more 'luxury' properties but it is comfortable and welcoming, with views that cannot be beaten. Everything you could want from a Devon holiday.

It was great location beautiful cottage has wonderful view I would highly recommended.

Ayrmer House is a fabulous, comfortable, welcoming place in the most spectacular setting.

Ella is a warm host, on hand with advice and recommendations if needed but leaves you to your holiday if you prefer. The extra cleaning measures in place due to the current situation were really reassuring and the place was immaculately. The house itself has everything you could need and want, is beautifully decorated with amazing views no matter the weather. Warm and sunny enjoy the terrace and balcony, cold and stormy, watch it roll in in front of the woodburner. This is the perfect place for a peaceful break with lots to do nearby if you want it. The walk to the cove is short and easy, perfect for a late afternoon stroll to watch the sun go down. There is quick access to the coastal path with great walks in all directions. The Journeys End pub in the village is excellent, with fabulous food (best to book) and a short drive away is the amazing Oyster Shack, a must for seafood fans. We're already planning our visit in the spring, can't wait to be back in Ringmore.

Excellent stay, owner very helpful.

House could do with a bit of updating here and there, but overall an excellent place to stay. We would definitely return.

We had an amazing time, marred only by a 6 hour power cut on our final night which totally killed the holiday buzz.

The house was beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and we couldn’t have asked for more from the owner.

This is a special place.

We loved it.

It would be difficult to find a more perfect family holiday cottage in a more beautiful location.

We hope to stay again.

We have been to Ayrmer Cottage many times - it is a home from home.

Well equipped, comfortable and outstanding views and location. Can't recommend highly enough!

A really fantastic holiday home with exceptional views from every room .

Ayrmer House is one of our favourite places.

A comfortable house with everything you could wish for, wonderful views, good local food and great walks. What's not to like?

Most excellent accommodation, must rate as the best we have ever used.

Thank you

This was our second visit to Ayrmer House which is tucked away at the end of the Village but within easy walking distance of the very good Pub.

The House has lovely views from all rooms over the valley to the sea. Immaculately clean and well equipped we could not have had a better place to stay to enjoy a peaceful break..

We’ve been to Aymer House before so we knew what to expect, which is a fine, well-equipped house with wonderful views in a great location.

We were made very welcome by Ella, who provided us with some delicious home-baked flapjacks, a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. The Nespresso machine in the kitchen, complete with some coffee pods, was an added bonus. The layout has been cleverly designed so that the spectacular view down the valley to the sea forms a backdrop to every room, which is what helps to make this house so unique. If you want a place to relax and unwind, they really don’t come much better than this.

Beautiful cottage with amazing views and gorgeous walk to the beach.

The owner is on site, very nice and willing to help if anything's needed. Highly recommended!

This is our second holiday at Ayrmer House and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

There is a lovely pub very

The house is situated in the most fantastic setting: surrounded by rolling countryside flowing down to beautiful Ayrmer Cove.

There are National Trust walks all around which include paths to the cove/beach, and onto the S.W. coastal path. The house has these stupendous views from EVERY room and has a massive balcony accessed by all 3 bedrooms, and there is also a private ground floor terrace to drink in more of the views, and sometimes to even hear the waves. The house is stylishly laid out- the owner has thought of everything, and whilst she lives in the adjoining annexe, the feeling of being in the house is one of total privacy. The welcoming owner is on hand if needed. The level of cleanliness throughout the spacious house is very high. We would love to stay at Ayrmer House again in the future. I would describe staying at Ayrmer House, where it is situated in the beautiful Devon countryside, and so close to the sea as a real health tonic, and the ultimate wind-down holiday place to be!

Best equipped cottage we've stayed in.

Brilliant location for a seaside holiday. Owner was really welcoming. Would love to visit again.

A wonderful house; sea views, comfy beds, everything you could possibly need and more.

Ella is a fantastic host; helpful and informative, her thoughtful touches really ensured a superb family holiday. We would definitely recommend Ayrmer House.

Some of the beds could be a little more comfortable, but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment of Ayrmer House.

It’s a beautiful house with a stunning view and everything you could possibly need provided plus some homemade flapjack to greet us. Ella was really friendly and made us feel so welcome. We would definitely go back there for another relaxing holiday.

Beautiful location, fantastic views and just a short walk to the beach.

Extremely comfortable property with everything we needed. Personal touches by the friendly owner ensured that we had a very enjoyable and restful holiday.
