Lots of wildlife and birds,we even managed to spot woodpeckers. Easy access to the coastal towns and villages. All in all a great holiday choice and a repeat visit highly likely.

It was everything we could have wished for. The owners, Colin and Hilary made us feel very welcome and were always on hand if needed. The surrounding countryside was fabulous and very peaceful. We would highly recommend this retreat.

It is well equipped and in the main comfortable, (my wife found the bed a bit hard, but that was the only real issue). We tend to eat in when on holiday in the evening & we were very pleased with the amount of utensils & equipment in the kitchen which meant it wasn't much different from home. It is very rural but that means lovely views across the fields opposite & the opportunity to view Buzzards & Kestrels hunting & the local fox, as well as wonderful starry nights. We will happily return the next time we holiday in Devon.
