"This property was 5*. One of the best HH so far. Spotlessly clean, top class fixtures and fittings. Lovely walk in the bluebell woods with our dog nearby. Just perfect! Big thanks to the owners for the cream tea and flowers on arrival. This is such a sociable property we will be going back with our friends. Another exceptional booking with Helpful Holidays. Now looking for our next one."

"This is a really excellent barn conversion, a great find, the photos don't do it justice. Four adults and two children had a very relaxing & peaceful weekend there. You get three bedrooms each with a bathroom next door, no road noise, no wifi, good quality CD player + speakers, the cycle path between Great Torrington and Instow is the other side of the river and the pub is 12 minutes cycle away. This was our second holiday home with HH and the quality of the two houses has been outstanding."
