Welcome to Higher Cross Park

Tucked away at the end of a private country lane, where rolling South Hams countryside meets the dramatic Devon coastline, Higher Cross Park is an extraordinary coastal estate offering complete seclusion, breathtaking sea views and an exceptional setting for unforgettable stays with family and friends. Surrounded by acres of private grounds and commanding panoramic vistas stretching from Hope Cove to Burgh Island and beyond, this is a place where life's most memorable moments unfold against one of the finest backdrops in the South West.

Designed with both celebration and relaxation in mind, the house seamlessly blends timeless character with contemporary luxury. Sleeping up to twelve guests across six beautifully appointed bedrooms, Higher Cross Park offers an abundance of space for guests to reconnect, retreat and savour precious time together. Every room has been thoughtfully considered, creating interiors that feel sophisticated yet welcoming, grand yet deeply comfortable.

At its heart lies a magnificent double-height orangery, bathed in natural light and centred around an impressive kitchen and dining space designed for lingering breakfasts, long lunches and atmospheric evening suppers. Oak beams, expansive glazing and beautifully crafted finishes create a space that is both striking and inviting, while bi-fold doors open effortlessly onto the sun-soaked courtyard beyond, blurring the boundaries between inside and out.

The house reveals a collection of beautifully curated spaces to suit every occasion. Sink into deep sofas beside crackling fires, escape to the peaceful reading room with a favourite book, enjoy movie nights in the cinema room, challenge one another in the games room or start the day with an invigorating workout in the private gym. Whether seeking sociable spaces or moments of quiet solitude, Higher Cross Park offers a remarkable sense of freedom throughout.

Outside, the estate truly comes into its own. Landscaped gardens spill towards uninterrupted coastal views, while the heated swimming pool and bubbling hot tub invite long afternoons beneath open skies. An outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and barbecue create the perfect setting for leisurely entertaining, while the spectacular art-deco inspired bar provides a front-row seat to some of the most captivating sunsets in Devon. As day turns to evening, gather with a glass in hand as the coastline glows gold and the horizon slowly fades into twilight.

Despite its wonderfully private setting, Higher Cross Park is perfectly placed to explore the South Hams' most treasured corners. The golden sands of South Milton, Bantham and Thurlestone are all within easy reach, while the South West Coast Path offers endless opportunities for spectacular walks, wild swimming, surfing and paddleboarding adventures. From beachside lunches and coastal exploration to relaxed afternoons by the pool, every day here can be as active or as unhurried as you choose.

For those seeking an elevated experience, bespoke concierge services can be arranged throughout your stay, from private chefs and wellness treatments to childcare, surf tuition and tailored local experiences, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully taken care of.

Higher Cross Park is far more than a luxury holiday home. It is a private coastal sanctuary designed for milestone celebrations, multi-generational escapes and unforgettable weeks spent together, a place where exceptional surroundings, unrivalled privacy and the beauty of the South Devon coast combine to create something truly extraordinary.
