“A beautiful, well equipped accommodation in a peaceful corner of Devon.”

Plenty of space for 12 people. As our party had two motorised wheelchair users, access was important. This was not an issue as one bedroom had level access to the patio and all ground floor facilities, with an en suite that had a wheel in shower with shower stool if needed. ( no hoists or specialist beds but this wasn't a problem for us as we take portable equipment).

“Superb facilities and beautiful rooms topped off with glorious views.”

“This was an ideal holiday rental for our party.”

Child and dog friendly with the added benefit of being disabled friendly too. Peaceful, idyllic location but within easy access of motorway and shops. The layout of the Hayloft was perfect for our party. The owners were extremely pleasant and helpful, we hope to return.

“We had a lovey week at the Hayloft and enjoyed the Cottage and its beautiful surroundings.”

It was particularly nice to have ensuite bathrooms to each room. However there were two things that we think could have been done better during our stay. 1)Although the cottage was clean it did have a large amount of flies. They would settle on your face when you were sleeping and were over everything in the kitchen and living area. We did not leave any food on surfaces and bought fly spray, but they were pretty persistent. We mentioned this to the owner who said it was because we were on a farm and he did not attempt to do anything about it. Although we were staying on a farm it was not a livestock farm ( flower farm). Also, I would have thought that if this was an issue the owners would have tried to do something about it. 2) One of the posts on the balcony was very loose which we noticed on the first night and we told the owner. We were particularly concerned as we had young children in our party and told the owner as we were worried about the children being on the balcony (as the loose post meant that they could have fallen through). The owner did not fix this or temporarily secure the area during our stay which meant that the children could not use the large master bedroom balcony. We were visiting during a nice weather week in August and this was a shame.

“We had a wonderful family stay, thank you so much.”

The accommodation was superb and so homely, comfortable and the most well equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a rental! It suited 3 generations very well. The games room was superb and well used, loved the cake too, thank you!

“As a family of 10 adults, 5 dogs this house exceeded our expectations.”

We could not fault the accommodation, fully equipped kitchen, good size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, large open plan living room with log burner, what more could you ask for.

“Fab cottage.”

Excellent bedrooms and very comfy beds. Everything you needed in the kitchen. Just needed a few things mending. Nothing major So overall a fab place to stay.
