"The Hayloft was a lovely place, exceptionally clean and in excellent order. Astrid the owner was very helpful. The location was perfect for walks from the door and very easy walk to the local pub. We had a fabulous holiday."

"The owners made us exceptionally welcome and the girls thought they'd died and gone to heaven when they were allowed to feed and cuddle the lambs. The interior design of the cottage is exceptional and the walk down to the river is lovely, if a little challenging on the way back. We also managed an excellent round trip walk to Hound Tor and back - with refreshments at the marvellous Hound of the Basket Meals van.."
