Reviews

Lovely cottage and hosts.

Mrs P,

The owners of this cottage made us feel so welcomed and go above and beyond to enable you to have the best stay! It was the most beautiful cottage and photos does not do it justice! The facilities were incredible and could not fault a single aspect of our stay, will definitely be returning.

Miss H,

Lovely cottage, lovely hosts, beautiful setting.

Mrs B,

Small and perfectly formed cottage for 2+ 1 dog with orchards and adjacent woodland to let our dog have a good run first thing in the morning. Owners are on site are friendly and helpful. A perfect rural base to explore the beautiful Devon coast and countryside.

Mrs W,

Lovely house, beautiful gardens, orchard and nearby woodland to roam in. Having use of the swimming pool and hot tub on a rota was fantastic. Why holiday anywhere else?

Ms C,

Super set of cottages, recently built from old fallen down barns. The spirit of the place is wonderful. The swimming pool is a triumph. Lovely owners.

Mr G,

A wonderful place to stay , the owners are very helpful and welcoming . The pool and hot tub are fantastic and the owners ensure you have allocated time to use the pool which is a really good idea . Surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of sites to visit . We would definately go again

Mrs C,

We loved this property and the facilities. Our dog was very chilled and content there. We had the pool to ourselves and spent time in the hot tub looking at the beautiful views over Devon. The cottage was stunning, and the garden was great to sit in with a glass of wine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Our bed was comfortable which was an added bonus for us and the way the cottage was set out was really quirky and we loved it.

Miss C,

Lovely cottage, very quiet area. Friendly & welcoming hosts.

Miss Katie H,

Lovely cottage, had everything I needed and everything worked! And that is not always the case, we've had to do various diy repairs in previous rentals, (not yours) very nice helpful owners living on site. Was a bit too remote for me, the access in and out of Boadhempstone was a bit of a challenge.

Mrs Susan B,

Absolutely beautiful place, accommodation itself and surrounding area, so many lives walks, and its pure bliss and country side! If your looking for a wind down and to completely relax and shut off from everyday life then this is the place for you! In the middle of nowhere, and really picturesque! There is a village pub and shop in walking distance but a fair few towns 20-30 minutes drive. Owner so lovely and helpful, even made us some cupcakes for our arrival! Attention to detail and going that little extra made all the difference! Hot tub and heated swimming pool were lovely with great views. I highly recommend!

Miss B,

For a relaxing weekend away from the rat race, it was perfect. Close enough to walk to a pub but far enough to be peaceful and tranquil. A perfect little cottage with everything you need, had 3 nights and it felt like a week, lovely.

Mrs E P,

This place was perfect for a short getaway, although I would have loved to have stayed longer! Out in the middle of nowhere was a great change to normal life too! The place was so beautiful and cosy as well. Great location as there is a lot to do in the surrounding areas. Very useful directions to get the best route to the cottage.

Miss P,
