Beaconside is one of North Devon’s premier private hire venues, set within approximately 25 acres of landscaped grounds, meadows, woodland and river frontage. Just three miles from Bideford and within easy reach of the coast, the estate combines luxury holiday accommodation with an established and profitable events business.

At its heart stands an elegant Victorian Manor House, built in 1841, providing impressive reception rooms and nine bedrooms, six of which are en suite. Surrounding the Manor are four beautifully presented holiday cottages, each self-contained with fully fitted kitchens, comfortable living areas and private terraces. The cottages have been thoughtfully designed to accommodate couples, families or small groups and are finished to a high standard throughout.

Set within the woodland beyond are nine luxury lodges, offering a more contemporary stay experience. Each lodge is self-catering and fully equipped, featuring open-plan living spaces, modern kitchens, en suite bedrooms and private decks with hot tubs. The lodges are positioned to provide privacy and a sense of seclusion, appealing to couples and families seeking a high-end rural retreat. Together, the accommodation allows for large group bookings or multiple concurrent lets, sleeping up to 75 guests across the estate.

At the centre of the events operation is The Beacon, a striking 300 sq m stone-clad events barn with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a contemporary glass-fronted extension. It features a fully equipped commercial kitchen, copper bar, chiller room, sound system and a full premises licence seven days a week until 1am. The adjoining Glasshouse provides a light-filled space ideal for ceremonies or dining, while the handcrafted oak Sundial Pavilion allows for outdoor weddings and celebrations with panoramic countryside views.

Extensive leisure facilities include both indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, a large hot tub, landscaped gardens, meadows and woodland walks, ensuring a luxury guest experience that underpins repeat business and year-round demand.

A modern biomass heating system services the main house, cottages, Beacon and indoor pool, generating around £30,000 per annum through the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, with approximately ten years of payments remaining.

The estate provides ample parking for 60 cars and includes a Victorian walled garden, river frontage with fishing rights, and additional land with potential for further development or diversification, subject to consents.

Beaconside represents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving and well-established business with multiple income streams from accommodation, weddings, and events, underpinned by strong repeat trade and an excellent reputation. A true turnkey lifestyle and investment opportunity in one of Devon’s most sought-after locations.
