What guests are saying
This was the quietest stay we have had anywhere.
It is beautiful. Just sorry we couldn't have fires and use the woodburner, but the summer is just too hot and too dangerous
We had a fantastic week in beautiful Devon, made even more special by our stay in The Wagon.
It was super clean and comfortable, with everything we needed and the welcome home made cake on arrival was a lovely addition. The garden was perfect for our dog and the views are stunning, a fabulous way to start the day. The only downside was having to leave, we would definitely book here again!
We absolutely love the wagon and it was our 2nd visit.
Its always spotless and cosy. We found a delicious home made cake and dog treats left for us. The area is so peaceful and quiet so its the perfect getaway from it all. Sadly only gave four stars this time because on arrival i had a message to say a water filter needed changing one was on order so not to drink until we had an update. The owners did leave us 12 bottles but we are both big water drinkers and we used for cooking as we where unsure of issues with no filter. So we ended up having to remember to keep stopping to purchase bottles of water. Which was a great shame as i personally hate using single use bottles let alone for a whole week. We never did get an update so we presume when we left no change on the situation.
