“Lovely cottage”

We stayed here December 12th for a week, Devon had yellow weather warnings in place for at least 3 of these days but mostly evening and early morning. However, we didn't expect sunshine and we did get that on a few days and to be honest the rubbish weather made using the wood burner even more special. The cottage had been decorated with a Christmas tree and other lights etc, was a lovely suprise. ...

We stayed here December 12th for a week, Devon had yellow weather warnings in place for at least 3 of these days but mostly evening and early morning. However, we didn't expect sunshine and we did get that on a few days and to be honest the rubbish weather made using the wood burner even more special. The cottage had been decorated with a Christmas tree and other lights etc, was a lovely suprise. The property is beautiful, its been finished with a warm, comfy but modern feel to it. The owners are friendly and welcoming but leave you to it which is perfect. Location is good, with easy links in most directions and very close to shops, pubs etc. The property is off of a slightly busy road but im a light sleeper and this didn't effect me. Few key notes that some maybe interested in, postcode takes you to a property down the road, so do follow their instructions re the tower etc, wi fi is good and had full o2 signal. Towels provided but if you like a big bath sheet, bring your own. Wardrobe space really good and plenty of hangers provided. Just missing a door hook to hang dressing gowns on maybe? Had a lovely time, would definitely come back and fully recommend a visit. Shall add photos to show, it really does look like the photos they used. Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful property with us.

“We enjoyed a really relaxing stay.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have asked for to make our stay here perfect. We even had a cream tea and bottle of wine as a welcome gift! For beautiful views and a comfortable stay we would highly recommend “Windy Willows” and would love to return in the future.

“Windy Willows was in the perfect location for exploring all of Devon and parts of Cornwall.”

The cottage was beautifully presented and the owners were very welcoming. Will definitely stay at the cottage again when we have another holiday in Devon.

“We have just returned from a fantastic visit to Windy Willows.”

The property was immaculate and very well equipped. The outside space was fantastic with fabulous views and lots of space for the children to play. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The location was ideal for our needs and we were able to get around Devon and into Cornwall easily. The property is a short drive to Okehampton which has an array of shops, pubs and restaurants. We would highly recommend this property.

“This property was outstanding.”

The perfect home from home - clean, warm and comfy with beautiful views of the sunset to end days of exploring. Good base for local attractions but rural enough to feel like you’re away from it all. Perfect!

“Wonderful accommodation!”

It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the design and decoration. The views from the living area are stunning - we ate in most nights because we could sit at the table overlooking the huge garden and the fields. Once in the garden the views of the surrounding area are fantastic. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms and en-suites very spacious and being brand new, everything is in tip-top condition. The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful - we really couldn’t have asked for more. Devon Cycle hire is only a few minutes drive down the road and has direct access onto The Granite Way which is perfect for family cycling. The Dartmoor Inn in Lydford (in this year’s Michelin Guide) is less than 15 minutes drive away - the food is amazing. I can’t recommend this accommodation enough. We loved it as even when the weather wasn’t so good we were happy to lounge around on the sofas reading and looking at the views.
