We had an amazing holiday staying at Wheel Farm. Lovely cottage kitted out with everything we needed. We made use of the swimming pool everyday which was a real hit with our children. We loved exploring the area and making use of the fabulous beaches no matter what the weather!
We had a lovely time in this beautiful farmhouse, everything you needed there just like home from home.
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
We absolutely loved our stay on Cuckoo Down Farm at the end of the summer. Our safari tent was warm, cosy and comfortable, set in this idyllic location. Taking in the beautiful countryside, watching the swallows dart around the field, barbecuing as the sun was setting and spending time as a family around our campfire, watching the stars come out, was all very special. The farm is also really handy for the breathtaking Jurassic Coast where much fun was had by my three teens!
Glamping at its best! Great site, everything we needed was supplied or available, Wonderful weekend, thank you xx
We have just returned from a wonderful, relaxing long weekend stay in Deer View Cottage. The cottage was extremely welcoming, comfortable and perfect in every way with the added bonus of super facilities provided by the nearby hotel. My only regret that it was all over too quickly!!
We stayed at the Barn for a week over New Year, with 2 other families. In total there were 6 adults, and 5 children aged between 8 and 13. It was absolutely perfect for us. We have stayed at other cottages over New Year, but this ticked all the boxes for us. Large fridge freezer, dishwasher, plenty of living space, large dining table to seat all of us, plenty of storage space...and of course, heated pool and sauna! We have a lovely time. The location was ideal, and we were lucky with the winter weather and enjoyed walks on Woolacombe, Combe Martin, and Croyde beaches, and a lovely few hours...more
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.
This was our second stay at Cuckoo Down and we are already talking about coming back next year. The tents are comfortable, prettily decorated and well equipped and the setting is beautiful. We went with friends and I’m sure our children will remember forever the hours they spent playing in the woods and in the stream with a sense of freedom that is rare in the modern world.
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
Lovely situation, very friendly owners, asked if the swimming pool's temperature could be raised - we had four little ones under 3 years old - they tried to oblige.
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
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
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.
Hi Amanda, we had a marvellous time at Berry Farmhouse, which is a house full of character in a beautiful setting. Carol was the perfect host, warmly welcoming us as well as providing a wide range of provisions and helpful advice. The farmhouse is massive with big rooms both downstairs and upstairs that are clean and warm. Most of the showers worked well. The wood burner is a lovely touch in the sitting room and we were grateful for the standard ovens alongside the Arga in the kitchen which needed a bit of expertise to use. There’s a connecting cottage with long term residents who can be early...more
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.
The setting is perfect (and the twice we’ve stayed, the weather has been gorgeous, so we feel very fortunate). The space between tents is ideal - allowing children in our family group to play/wander and non of us to feel on top of each other. Each safari tent is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. There are some nice touches - handwash, toiletries in the shower etc but a curtain/screen in the toilet would have been appreciated and a key/lock on the shower (we used the key from the toilet lock). We would recommend Cuckoo Down Farm.
Stoke up the fire, let the kids run wild and relax. Very good facilities, nearby beaches are great and wonderful hosts. Will be back for sure.
Comfirtable, clean and everything provided that you need for a stay in a Safari Tent. Disappointing weather but lovely outdoor space had it been warm and light in an evening. Good distance away from the other ‘Glampers’. Safari Tent coped with high winds and pouring rain and was still cosy and warm inside with wood burning stove on. Limited lighting for dark evenings but with enough lights fitted around the tent it was possible to see what you were doing. We found reading difficult. Super experience. Can recommend it.
A fabulous house/cottage for a family holiday. Something for everyone - golf, swimming, tennis, various dining options should you choose to have time away from the kitchen. We are no strangers to High Bullen and will continue to return.
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.
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
We stayed for a week at the end of September and despite changeable weather with some heavy rain we had a fantastic stay. The children loved the indoor pool, the dogs loved the paddock designated for dog exercise and we all enjoyed the beautiful beaches and coastal walks nearby. Everything you could need is provided for in the cottage. Lots of guides and maps in reception with the added bonus of local free range organic eggs available to buy. Thoroughly recommend a trip to Braunston burrows from Sandy Lane - a beautiful walk ending on Saunton sands. Owners of wheel farm were helpful and ...more
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.
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
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
We wanted a cottage so we could escape the noise of NYE i.e. the fireworks. Apart from some on 1st Jan we achieved our aim! The owners had provided so many gifts it felt like Xmas.
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.
Ideal house for a week of reunion of 4 families - 15 of us in all. Lovely welcome from Jean; very comfortable spacious house and good grounds at front for dog and children to play. Quiet off road location with superb views. Everything we needed for catering for the group was provided and shopping was easy with well stocked Coop in the village. Plenty of room in the house to spread around and very comfortable beds. Loads of baths / WCs; two over bath electric showers. Masses of hot water from a very efficient heating system. Location excellent for local walks or for reaching water sports at Loc...more
Fabulous location, stunning views and a real home from home! The apartment has everything you need plus lots of extras. Well appointed, very clean and I highly recommend. What really differentiates this property though is the hospitality and genuine warm welcome from Jenny, this is from the minute you book until you arrive safely home. Thank you Jenny for your thoughtfulness and genuine desire to make sure your guests have the best possible stay!
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
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.
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
A lovely cottage on a quiet site, with views over the countryside. The cottage was clean, well maintained, with everything you may need. There were extensive grounds to relax in. Having the swimming pool to myself was a bonus. The only negative is that you do need a car and drive everywhere, but we are already planning a return visit.
This was a booking for a party of ladies to come and ride on the moor. The house worked well, was comfortable, clean, warm and of good quality. The only two issues were; 1. The wifi had no internet connection for the majority of the weekend and 2. (a very minor one) The wood for the burners was too fresh to burn well, another year and it would be perfect!
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.
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 spent Christmas at Crooked Lake with our three adult children. We arrived to find the cottage looking very Christmassy with lots of lovely decorations which were much appreciated and some edible treats too. The cottage was comfortable, very well equipped and once we'd set the storage heaters, very cosy. We didnt use the conservatory but the cottage was roomy and there was plenty of space for the five of us to spread out. We particularly enjoyed the sound of running water from the watercourse between the cottage and garden and would like to return in the summer months to see the garden in le...more
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 have stayed in a previous cottage with my favourite cottages last year but this one was in the most wonderful position.on the beach straight across the road,the most lovely position for breakfast and evening drinks. A quaint grade 11 listed cottage which doesn’t loose its era but is comfortable and clean .we would highly recommend it . The top apartment is quite steep stairs for elderly but there is a very ingenious lift. Easy access to westward ho but Instow has a good beach and has been left alone to be natural
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
Consistently good ( have had ten visits already). Top quality interior and amazing garden and outside space.
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.
Their were four adults in our party. We were conveniently situated to explore North Devon. The garden and kitchen were not as big as we had hoped but everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay and had a good holiday.
