Great location and ideal for a Christmas break. Can imagine the summer is even better! Owners were really accommodating and even placed a real Christmas tree inside the cottage for when we arrived. Had a special stay and made some great memories!

Lovely property, a barn conversion on a farm. Clean, well-equipped, well-presented. Helpful, but not intrusive, proprietors close by. Multiple barn conversions so tranquility is dependent to some extent on other visitors and their dogs. The property has the great advantage of being next to a reasonably large road, not half way down a single track rRead moreoad with passing places. Hide

Spent a relaxing 2 weeks here, great facilities on site which were well used by us, and it's well located for all the main activities and attractions in the Devon/Cornwall border area. The barn is comfortable and very well equipped; a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival. Definitely recommended for an enjoyable holiday!

Was lovely holiday for my husbands 50th. We loved the location, the cottage and especially the little touches that it had - snacks, milk, dishwasher tablets little things that other places we have stayed didn't have. Our girls loved the games room and access to dvds which we enjoyed one evening as family. The grounds was amazing and location as so Read moremany things to do nearby. Contact with the owners was great, any questions we had. Would definitely use again. Hide
