Wet weather meant lots of pool time!

Sophia is a great host, lovely touches such as cake, flowers and wine on arrival made the stay extra special. Lovely place for a relaxing family gathering - the scheduled pool times were brilliant and as we were the only guests staying in the last half of the week we could use the pool all day, which the kids loved!

Absolute gem!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the cottage. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was very functional and the bbq was great. Our kids loved exploring the farm which was very peaceful. The pool was wonderfully warm! There was also a lovely little petting farm called "Woolley Animals" nearby - perfect for younger children. We will certainly look to return. Thank you!

Fantastic Cottage

We arrived with milk and wine in the fridge and flowers on the table thank you. Well the Cottage was out of this world so much room and the owners have made it so homely, I've never seen a kitchen with everything you would ever need in it. The views from the back garden are breath taking looking over the country side. The fishing lake kept the men entertained. The pool was such a added bonus lovely size and so warm and clean. All I can say about this property is a must to stay at. Thank you for everything Sophia Roy you have a amazing cottage

Great holiday

Most enjoyable holiday! Swimming pool was used every day by our grandchildren and having a rota printed out by Sophia made it easy to use. Walked to the New Inn (appx 40 mins) for lunch one day. Very accommodating as we hadn’t booked. Great day in The Big Sheep adventure park and 2 lovely days on the beach. The accommodation was spacious and met our needs as a family. Great to be able to sit all together to eat. We arranged a Tesco delivery for our first evening which worked well for our weeks supply. Sophia was very welcoming and flowers on the table were lovely!

Family week away

This is a beautiful property with a very friendly and helpful host. The house is well equipped, very clean and wifi is good. The pool is warm and perfect for family playing time. The fishing lake was stocked way above expectations with carp up to 20lbs, plus big tench, rudd and perch. All were lovely fish in prime condition. The whole property is set in some of the most peaceful and picturesque countryside you're ever likely to see, and if an idyllic getaway is your aim, it would be hard to beat this location. It is at least a 20min drive from the nearest shops or takeaways and a 40min+ drive away from beaches, zoos etc. mostly because it's deep inside narrow Devon country lanes. But that's just something to be aware of for planning days out. All in all this is a wonderful family getaway location.

Family break

A family party of nine, ranging from 65 to 3 years. The cottage is lovely, plenty of space for everyone a large kitchen table for all nine of us to sit round to eat. The kitchen could do with some new oven tins, the ones there were not nice at all, it would also benefit from some larger casserole type dishes. A patio area in the garden would have been much better, all the chairs sank into the grass, making it difficult to get up. The back door step is lethal when wet, beware! The swimming pool was lovely we really enjoyed it! A large doormat inside the cottage would have been helpful, nine people arriving wet from the pool, all trying to get in at once, made for a rather slippery tiled floor. The fishing was a big hit with our fishermen, everyone caught, we had several Perch, Tench and Carp, the biggest being 17lb, the children loved it. We had primed our grandchildren that there would be some animals to meet, there was a woodland walk and that they could play in the fields behind the cottage, however on arrival, we were told that there were no longer any animals, only a couple of old chickens. We attempted the woodland walk, but it was very overgrown with nettles and fallen trees, and gave it up as a bad job. Also the fields behind the cottage had not been cut, and was hard to walk through, let alone play, so this was all very disappointing, I think your website could do with a little updating! We did have a lovely break, Sophia and Roy are lovely

Fabulous cottage

This was probably one of the best holidays in the uk we have ever had, the cottage was so beautiful, and the pool and fishing lake a special added bonus as we had some keen fishermen. Thank you Sophia and Roy for allowing us to use your lovely property. We will be seeing you again in the near future.

Lovely cottage - swimming pool and fishing a bonus

We decided to have a whole family holiday this year. Myself, my husband, both daughters with their other halves and our 3 year old grandson. We chose this property mainly for the swimming pool thinking it would give the 3 year old something to do on a bad weather day. The cottage was lovely, private back garden with stunning view and plenty of room for us all to have meals together and sit together in the evenings. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of crockery and utensils as well as a decent sized fridge/freezer. The swimming pool was fabulous, big enough and with a rota in place with the other cottage so that we had it all to ourselves at our allocated time. My only suggestion would be to perhaps have some way of communicating with the other cottage so that perhaps you could change your times if you wanted to as often it was not being used. The fishing lake was also a big bonus, we love fishing and again had the lake to ourselves. It is a short walk from the cottage but Sophia was kind enough to let us drive down with our equipment. All in all we had a lovely stay. My only negative comment would be the size of the downstairs bed, it is listed as King size but we have a kingsized bed at home and it was much smaller, more like a double. As expected this was a remote location so the Wifi was not the best and if you forgot something at the shops it was a drive away down narrow country lanes but neither of those things bothered us and the peace and property more than made up for it!
