    “This property has to be one of the best in rural Devon for up to 8 people.”

    Very spacious lounges with a fully equipped kitchen. one of the bedrooms only suitable for one adult or two children. Unfortunately windows could not be opened in two of the bedrooms. The outside was perfect. The house is situated over 2 miles from Sandford village via narrow single track roads with limited passing spots which were full of pot-holes. During our one week stay we had to back up on five occasions, once over a quarter of a mile to let two very large tractors and trailers through. on ...

    Very spacious lounges with a fully equipped kitchen. one of the bedrooms only suitable for one adult or two children. Unfortunately windows could not be opened in two of the bedrooms. The outside was perfect. The house is situated over 2 miles from Sandford village via narrow single track roads with limited passing spots which were full of pot-holes. During our one week stay we had to back up on five occasions, once over a quarter of a mile to let two very large tractors and trailers through. on other occasions three cars backed up for us. I would not recommend to inexperienced/nervous drivers or to owners of sports/electric cars..
