Your trusted local Host
Meet Zoe Varney, your dedicated Mid Devon local Host.
What Zoe’s Owners say about her: “Zoe provides incredible peace of mind. Her proactive communication and deep understanding of the local Devon market ensure our property is always presented to the highest standard. She truly treats our home as if it were her own.”
Since moving to the region in 2017, Zoe has fully embraced the ‘slow and relaxed’ way of life that makes Mid Devon so special. Having holidayed in the area for years, she chose the hills close to Exmoor as the perfect place for her family to put down roots.
Zoe brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the HolidayHost team, having managed guest experiences and cleaning operations since 2013. She is a firm believer that the secret to a successful holiday let lies in the details – from spotless presentations to being physically on-hand to meet guests. Zoe’s background in property management and her close relationships with local housekeeping teams ensure that every home she manages is maintained to an impeccable, premium standard.
"I believe the guest experience starts the moment a booking is made and continues until they are safely home. My role is to bridge the gap between owner and guest with clear, open communication and a meticulous eye for detail. By combining the HolidayHost model with my local presence, I help owners maximise their booking potential while ensuring their guests enjoy a truly restorative Devon retreat."
Why guests love it here
Hidden gems and moorland magic
Mid Devon offers a rare blend of wild natural beauty and quintessential English charm. From the windswept heights of Exmoor to the fire-lit pubs of its tucked-away villages, it is a place where guests can truly switch off. While the famous beaches are within easy reach, the heart of Mid Devon lies in its independent tea rooms, weekly Pannier Markets, and the serendipitous beauty found when exploring its winding lanes.
For owners, this enduring appeal creates a high-performing market with a loyal following of guests seeking an authentic escape. We bridge the gap between this consistent demand and the need for professional, hands-on care. By combining Zoe’s regional expertise with our personal co-hosting approach, we ensure your property stands out as a premium choice in the Devon countryside.

“Wow!! Absolutely spotless accommodation, everything was squeaky clean inside and beautifully done. It was so peaceful around the lodge, I stayed there for work so didn’t explore the local area but the beds were comfy and we ate at the Half Moon Inn and the food was delicious! Great Host… very responsive and would definitely book again! Thanks for having us.” ☺︎
