Enjoyed a fabulous week at Feb half term with children in Linhay, great indoor pool, lovely clean cottage and fabulous hosts, 2nd stay at Wheel Farm, children always want to return, great location for Exmoor and beaches too.
We were lucky enough to be the first family to stay at Springfield Linney and we weren’t disappointed. The cottage has been beautifully finished and very modern. Heated flooring throughout the house and a wood burner kept us lovely and warm in the cold wet and windy weather we had for most of our stay. Richard was there to meet us on our arrival and was really helpful. We had a problem with the hot water on one day of our stay and Richard got it fixed ASAP which was great. Towelling, shower gel, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, washing up liquid, dog biscuits, dog bed and towel and dog bowl, t...more
Morning We stayed at Kittlewake house for a long weekend, we have no complaints, the house had everything you could ask for a weekend especially in the kitchen. It is a beautiful house, it was a shame we came in November as we could have explored the high street and maybe the garden. It is beautifully designed and the beds are so comfortable and the bedding is of very high quality. The house is so homely and would definitely consider coming down again, we are a large family of adults and it accommodated us perfectly. Thank you. Wendy Modeste
We will definitely visit again, the Shippen ticked all the boxes. Loved the swimming pool, specifically because it was very clean and the location was fabulous. Thank you
The place was truly stunning. Wanted to move into Deer View. 5 star all the way. The beds were so comfortable...I'm missing this place already. The scones at the Laura Ashley tea rooms were warm and so tasty with clotted cream and jam..
We spent Christmas at Coast View and were thrilled with the property,location and of course wonderful Woolacombe. The property was furnished to a high spec and had all the amenities 9 people required. Would totally recommend this property if you are looking for a large house in Woolacombe that is local to the town and beach. The views from the property overlooking the beach and the downs is another big plus just a pity we couldn't enjoy them from the hot tub due to the weather.
Brilliant Well positioned beautifull area. We had all the family and dogs stay for a long weekend. My wife who new nothing of the rest of the family lying in wait for a surprise birthday and relaxing weekend. Plenty of things to do with the kids as the pool sauna and gardens where we’ll used dispite the weather. Thanks the Watkins Family
Hi we found our stay wonderful cannot fault the cottages ! Staff pleasant and was more than willing to help out ! If we were ever in the area again we would surely return ! Thank you !
We have been to this property three times before and it never fails to please and the properrty has also been upgraded during this time. It is a great place from which to visit the wonderful Exmoor and Coombe Martin, Ilfracombe, South Molton and Barnstaple. The last two are great places for shopping good quality local produce, as well as for supermarkets. There are also pubs and restaurants within a short driving distance.
We have stayed at Lower Aylescott, three times now - each time it has been a different time of year and once was with our whole family taking one cottage each! The site is simply stunning - a hidden treasure. The owners are friendly, welcoming and let you get on with your holiday but are so easy to get hold of, should you need them for anything. From the cottages, Devon is so easy to explore and at the end of each day, you return to a home from home setting that has absolutely everything you could possibly need. You don't actually have to go out if you don't want to; there are lakes, a playgro...more
We had a wonderful stay at the cottages with our new puppy. Ali and family were amazingly helpful but not overbearing. The cottage was clean, tidy and had everything you would need for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back soon.
The photos don't lie! It is a set in a great location with stunning views from the deck and rear windows. I loved waking up and being able to see the sea from my bed. The house is clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you're likely to need for a family holiday. The older children in our group loved the xbox and the younger ones had huge fun running up and down the sloping garden! Everyone thought the outside shower a great idea but we did have trouble getting two year old twins out of it..... This was our first three generational holiday and the house certainly helped to m...more
We have just spent a fantastic week on Exmoor staying at the wonderful Exmoor Farmhouse. It's a super house for a large group (we were 12 across 3 generations) with a beautiful view across Withypool and the moor. The house has loads of space and many rooms including a dining room that more than coped with 15 of us on one evening, a large kitchen breakfast room and a living room which also comfortably accommodated all of us for games and quizzes. Some of the decor in the house is amazing, there are books and artwork everywhere and it is clearly a much loved family home when not being used by gu...more
Lovely cottages - this is the second time I have stayed there - the first being in The Dairy, but oh dear the water problems have not been resolved, regrettably. It's water pressure - or the lack there of - downstairs fine - upstairs dreadful. Hayloft : The upstairs hand basin cold water feed was nothing but a trickle - I reported this to Hannah on the Sunday of my arrival, but nothing was fixed. The shower head over the bath the pressure was OK if you held the shower head down into the bath, but once put any higher again the feed was nothing but dismal! Ali & Richard are charming - but ...more
A very well equipt cottage, extremely comfortable with fabulous views across the valley. It is so peaceful and is an ideal location for RHS Rosemoor and for coastal path walking. Two miles away The Cranford Inn is a must as the food presented is was way above normal pub food standard and reasonably priced. We will definitely being going back.
What a perfect place for a family gathering,We rented both Aggies and Dolly’s for 5 nights over the New Year. Both are lovely,very comfortable and tastefully decorated, they are very well equipped with everything you would need. The grounds are Ideal for children to play with a Park,Football net,Basketball and Table Tennis. Fantastic location as all local attractions are so easy to get to.
Really lovely stay and was a great choice for a wet week in February with kids, as good location to lots of beaches but had the pool when we needed indoor activities. Very comfy accommodation, and the few issues we encountered were resolved quickly. Staff were on hand and very friendly. Highly recommended!
We had a lovely time at Nuide House. The house was spacious yet cosy and we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. The bottles of Prosecco on arrival were particularly well appreciated! Thanks for everything!

Booked this for a birthday celebration weekend. Very high standard and very spacious accommodation, close to all the sporting facilities and bars and restaurants. Excellent kitchen in the cottage with great views.
Beautiful house in a stunning location really peaceful with a very relaxing atmosphere. A very friendly welcome from Jean who shared some of her knowledge about the house and the village with us. Hope to return in the future
We were delighted to find Woodpecker Cottage. It is hard to find a small place to stay that allows 3 dogs. Most that do are much larger and bit too expensive for just two people needing one bedroom. It had everything we were looking for - rural, enclosed garden and plenty of walks while not being too far from a shop. The doggy file in the cottage was so helpful and allowed us to plan some days out. We have already recommended to a friend.
Enjoyed our stay at this cottage Owners lovely ,the cottage was of a very good standard. The cake and milk supplied was a nice bonus . Fishing ok but this time of the year please make sure you have bite cream with you
Good size house that can accommodate the maximum amount of people with ease. Large fully equipped kitchen allowed us to cater for ourselves every evening. Fantastic location. Can highly recommend a walk to Tavistock via the pubs at Mary Tavy and Peter Tavy. We stayed late February but would be happy to return any time of year.
We had a really lovely stay at Sunnycliffe, the position and view could not be beaten. The house was very clean except for the towel rails in both bathrooms which needed some serious cleaning, but the housekeeper came straight over to do them when I mentioned it to her. It is a very well equipped house with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The beds were ok and comfy, mattresses were rather soft but that is a personal preference. We had an unfortunate run in with the neighbour who was extremely aggressive, I hope never to see him again. You would have thought that he ...more
Unfortunately our planned week stay was cut short (3 days) by the need to return home early. The cottage was brilliant and the wildlife very entertaining. A very special THANKS to Clare who was most helpful before our arrival,and during our stay. She gave us information about places to go and where to shop. We hope to return again next year.
These cottages are in a perfect location with a community shop, pub, restaurant and places to visit very close by. We stayed in Lake View Cottage. A very spacious property with a great view and easy access to the fishing lake. The rooms were clean and spacious with comfy beds and plenty of seating, although a coffee table would have been a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped for a weeks holiday.The cottages are reached by narrow country lanes so be prepared to meet oncoming farm traffic! There are several steps down to the properties and no direct parking outside Lake View which was a bit of a...more
2 bedroom flat in a great location. Lots of lovely touches to make it feel like a home. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc. Dvd's and books etc all provided. Lovely bathroom and en suite shower room. Everything you could possibly need for a great weeks holiday. We love the area for walking, and were so lucky with the weather, we walked every day! It's useful to know that once you have collected the keys from the front lobby, you can then access the property via the glass covered walkway at the rear. This is handy for unpacking the luggage, and the lift can also be use...more
A well equipped cottage in a stunning location. Lovely en suite bedroom and good twin room, the bunk bedroom was a wee bit cramped for adult use as we did but then probablyonly meant for children. The extension to the lounge gives superb views of the lochs and mountains with the added bonus of watching the rise and fall of the water in the waterfall dry days it's a gentle flow but if you get heavy rainy days as we did it becomes a raging torrent Walks galore in nearby Morvich but there is a walk up the mountain from the cottage,it's steep and narrow but the views are worth the struggle.
After spending many years holidaying in Devon, this is by far our favourite destination and cottage. We have been twice now and love it even more. Perfect for the dog and also for our elderly parents who often accompany us ... the unusual lift being particularly useful. The views are amazing, perfect on a stormy day, which is often for us as we go out of season. We love the quaintness of the cottage and history behind it. It is comfortably equipped and wouldn’t wish any changes. Looking forward to our next visit.
We needed somewhere very quickly following flooding at our own property and,luckily, we found this. Booking process was easy. When we arrived we quickly settled in and found everything we needed for our stay over Christmas. The property was spacious and well equipped. There was an issue with the washing machine and this was quickly fixed by the extremely friendly team. Pool and spa was well maintained. Did not use the dining facilities or the bar. Would have been nice to have the house decorated for Christmas but I suspect this is something we should have asked for rather than expected. ...more
Really nice cottage, has everything that you need for a comfortable stay, the owners are very friendly and helpful. Its a great spot if you love the countryside and its got a nice fishing lake, they have recently added a large deck area by the stream which is a nice touch. Well placed for travel to the local coast line.
We enjoyed our stay in Upper Mill. It was super cosy and we had everything we needed to enjoy cooking food and keeping entertained. We used the pool which was great, as was the Sauna. Although on paper the village of Combe Martin is very close, we chose not to walk in, instead using our car. On one occasion we used the local taxi firm Andy's Cabs who were great. Although we chose to go during a full moon, stars were still fairly crisp and visible. If star gazing is you thing, looking up during a new moon would have given excellent visibility.
The Stables is perfect for a group get together. Plenty of room for us all to be together in the lounge, dining room or kitchen yet also enough space to take a quiet spot if the mood takes you. Kitchen so well equipped with plenty of plates etc (so many places only supply 1 place setting per person). We used a private caterer one evening (Le Frog from Tiverton) which was excellent and added to the whole celebration. The views are lovely. Beware no mobile signal but the Wifi was OK. All the bedrooms were lovely and each having its own bathroom is a rarity in large properties. Owners are nearby ...more
We have a lovely stay over new year. The house in its own grounds away from any other houses. The house can comfortably seat 8 people in the main lounge and 3 in the small lounge. The dining table can sit 10 at a squeeze. Bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen could do with more mugs and serving dishes, The bathrooms are present but suffer from condensation. The host was very nice and provided all we needed. It was lovely to have cream and scones with champagne on arrival.
Had a lovely stay at The Shippen. The cottage is cosy, well maintained and well equipped. The walk through the woods down to the beach was gorgeous and Fowey itself is everything you would expect from a Cornish seaside town - culture, local shops, great places to eat.
The house was perfect for the 6 of us, plenty of space. The location enabled us to walk to the beach, the pubs and the shop. The house was clean and tidy and we got excellent support when we had any queries or a problem.
Fantastic cottage, set in a stunning location. A group of us stayed over the new year for 5 nights with children and dogs, we had enough a fantastic time.
We stayed off peak in disgusting weather. The cottage was a warm haven with a beautiful conservatory. Loved it.
The location of this house in Croyde is excellent - short walk to lovely surfing beach - pubs etc. The house itself is well equipped and has lovely views from the lounge upstairs. The weather wasn’t particularly kind to us so we spent more time in the house than we had planned but it was warm and cosy and you could just see the waves crashing around the cliffs.
We stay at the cottage when we visit my son who lives in North Street himself. It is always very clean and comfortable and suits our needs.
We had a lovely week staying at Stag Lodge on the Glencarron and Glenuaig estate. We were lucky to have had some rain so the water levels were excellent for fishing on the river and we were very well looked after by the ghillie, Eric, and his wife, Cathy. The lodge was clean and comfortable and brilliantly positioned to enjoy the estate and local area.
We booked here as it is near friends in the area and my 8 year old was excited about the fishing. (Sadly the weather was horrid, so no fishing was done.) We arrived very late after first visiting with our friends and only after entering did we realise we forgot milk for our morning coffee. On a whim, my husband looked in the fridge and saw a small container of milk - what a wonderful and very welcoming extra! The owners also left a box of biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar! The cottage was well appointed, had a comfortable bed and a nice "homey" feel about it. The owners were very welcoming and r...more
This annexe has much to offer, 2 spacious ensuite bedrooms, one with a lovely view. A cosy living room with traditional features of stone and beams though one needs to be standing to see through the window. We were a little disappointed by the kitchen however which is dated and awkward to use being rather narrow and the sink tucked into a corner. It just didn't quite live up to the expectations we had from web site.
Our third successive autumn at Lower Leys. Always happy there, although lack of mobile coverage and "outgoing calls only" on house phone meant the need to think ahead at times. Weather was poor (wet/very wet on all but one day in the fortnight). Would have booked again for next year had we not had car problems at last minute, which showed us the need to be closer to villages/towns at our age (84) .
We were 6adults. And a delightful4year old grandson. He so loved the toy cupboard. We really appreciated the care taken to make our welcome special and the cottage super comfortable, beds, sofa, aga piano. Even “secret drawers” in the kitchen to discover. One of which we only found on our last day.
Comfortable cottage with lovely garden in a very good location, near Croyde Village and also the beach. Had everything we needed for a large family group ranging from 84 years old to 8 months!
10 of us (6 plus 4 kids) enjoyed family holiday in this well equipped house. Garden was great too. Wi-intermittently working. No facility for recycling waste. Contrary to advice there is no facility at nearby Morrisons (Newquay) and no facility for collection. We ended up going to the council recycling centre. I am sure some guests would resort to putting in the general waste. For these reasons would say 8 out of 10.
Fantastic location, great facilities Lovely property with everything you need in it. Had a really lovely holiday. Weather certainly helped.
Lovely cottage, well kitted out. Kids loved the pool. Great location. Looking at the next date to stay.
