- The House
Perfect for families and multi-generational groups, milestone birthdays and anniversaries.
The bar, the pool, the hot tub and the cinema make Higher Cross Park one of Devon’s most sought-after celebration houses. We welcome celebrations in the spirit in which the house was created — with warmth, style and genuine care for the property.

Thurlestone’s Only Art-Deco Bar
Perched at the highest point of the property with uninterrupted views from the moors to the sea. Pour yourself something wonderful as you watch the sun go down over the moors.

Heated Outdoor Pool & Hot Tub
Set in private, manicured gardens, a 12 × 6m heated pool surrounded by sun loungers and sofas to while away your day. The hot tub seats six and sits beside the bar. In summer, this is where days begin and evenings end.

Panoramic Views from Hope Cove to Bigbury
Above the village of Thurlestone, it sits in one of South Devon’s finest positions. From almost every room, the sea and moorland frame your days. Thurlestone and Bantham Beach is a short distance away.
