Unfortunately can not review Stable Cottage as this was not in use after we initially booked. We were kept informed of changes and family were put into alternative accommodation. Although this was perfectly adequate they were in separate rooms and did miss out on a communal area to sit and relax and obviously no self catering facilities.

Four of us (my wife and I plus 19 and 21 yr old sons) stayed for 3 nights. The Cottage itself is fab - even in mid-winter. The lady on reception could not be more helpful and we managed to play some tennis and golf as well as make use of the country club sports facilities - including massage, facial and using the gym as well as the pool.
Would definitely come again

Lovely cottage - very spacious and well located on the Highbullen estate. Great facilities available on site. Need a car as a little out of the way, but facilities on site make up for this. Staff friendly and very helpful.



A very enjoyable stay

Stable Cottage is spacious, very comfortable, in a good central location on the site and well appointed, an excellent base for a family holiday. The staff on-site were all very helpful and easy to deal with and we enjoyed our 2 evening meals in the Cellars restaurant. Most of the facilities were open and with 2 children, we made good use of both the pools.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be something of a disconnect between MFC and Highbullen regarding check-in/out times and what was expected of us in connection with Covid-safe practices but, apart from the hour and a half's wait for check-in, it didn't affect our enjoyment of the holiday and we put it down to the recent change of ownership at Highbullen. An inventory was requested but never materialised and would have been useful so we would have known what to take and what was provided.

This is a lovely part of Devon and we had great time cycling on the Tarka Trail - twice!, visiting the Quince Honey Farm and the Pannier Market at South Molton and riding from Pine Lodge Riding Stables at Dulverton - highly recommended.





A beautiful location with great facilities.

A lovely cottage set in idyllic Devon countryside. Very spacious accommodation for six of us with three excellent bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. The outside enclosed space was perfect for our dogs and a real sun trap for relaxing and dining, although there were only 5 outside chairs provided and some of the cushions were dirty. The kitchen was well equipped with very large fridge and freezer, and range cooker. The hotel facilities were all good and very close at hand, but some of the information provided by My Favourite Cottages was different to the expectations of the hotel staff, such as stripping the beds, which caused confusion. The hotel also wanted to add a charge for dogs to our bill, which we had paid for already in our booking with MFC.
There did also seem to be a breakdown in communication between hotel and leisure complex, as our golf bookings were not included in our first bill, which we corrected for them.
However we appreciated that the hotel had a number of new staff members still in training and given the general circumstances all hospitality venues have been facing this year these minor issues can be forgiven and did not detract from a really lovely break away for us and we would not think twice about returning in the future.

I think Stable Cottage is the best self catering cottage at High Bullen. It caters for six people but there was only two of us and so there was plenty of space. We were very unfortunate with the weather and this resticted our enjoyment of all the facilities. It is a great location and would recommend it to anyone who wants an up market experience.

We stayed with friends and our sibling Cockerpoo puppies in The Stables for one week. The weather was atrocious (the wettest week ever I think) but the cottage was spacious, warm and well equipped. Bedrooms were large, as was the kitchen and lounge/diner. The normal hotel leisure facilities were mainly closed (covid19 and all that), and the golf course too wet unless you had webbed feet. We ate once in the Cellar Bar where the food was very good.
My only negative point is that there are no facilities for dogs, although they are clearly welcome. We took towels, floor coverings and even a hose pipe!



Very good for families

This cottage was absolutely lovely to stay in, we liked everything about it all the rooms are very spacious and comfortable although it rained nearly every day of our stay we enjoyed the indoor heated swimming pool just a few steps away, The village community shop is very welcoming for things forgotten and the pub a must visit
This is our 2nd visit to Highbullen and will definitely return to Stable Cottage again

Plenty of space and everything needed for a comfortable holiday.
Good swimming pool.
Disappointing for the golfers in our group that golf course was closed for most of our stay due to wet weather. They were able to play elsewhere nearby.
Helpful staff.
