📍 Buying a Holiday Home? Start with Location.

If you're thinking about investing in a holiday home, location should be at the top of your checklist.

Ask yourself:
🏖️ Is it close to popular attractions, beaches, countryside walks, or local landmarks?
🚗 Is it easily accessible for guests travelling from near and far?
☕ Are there good restaurants, shops, and amenities nearby?
📅 Does the area attract visitors year-round or only during peak season?

The right location can make all the difference to occupancy levels, guest satisfaction and your return on investment. While a property can be renovated and updated over time, its location is the one thing that can’t be changed.

Take the time to research the area, understand your target guests, and think about what would make them choose your property over others.

After all, when it comes to holiday homes, it's true what they say: location, location, location!📍✨

Al Fresco at Mannings Barn

Gather around the kitchen table at Mannings Barn, a warm, characterful space made for slow breakfasts, long lunches and sharing good food after a day exploring Devon. 🍽️

Then, when the sun is shining, take things outside onto the private sunny terrace. Settle in for breakfast in the fresh air, afternoon tea or an evening drink as the sun goes down, surrounded by three acres of peaceful gardens and birdsong. 🌿☀️

The perfect setting for relaxed Devon days, whatever the occasion.
