Boycombe dog friendly holiday home Honiton Devon

Welcome to the online home of the Boycombe Estate

Nestling at the head of a little valley to the south of Honiton in East Devon in an area designated for its outstanding natural beauty is Boycombe. This Grade II* listed manor house, probably built in the reign of Henry VII, is set in its own estate of a couple of cottages, farm outbuildings and 40 glorious acres of countryside.

This website aims to share this amazing place with anyone interested in old buildings and architecture. It is also a resource for those wishing to rent an out-of-the-way, dog-friendly country estate in Devon, close to the Jurassic beaches of Branscombe, Beer and Sidmouth, and a perfect place for weekends with friends, house-parties, family holidays or nature lovers looking to get away from it all. Available all year round.
