"We thoroughly enjoyed the location and accommodation which was very clean inspite of the charming old age of the property . We will try very hard to return."

"Hole Farm is a wonderful place, with the added delight of 130 acres of farm and woodland to roam and explore. We were really sad to leave- it is in a really tranquil setting, ideally situated to explore the moor."

"Hole Farm is an amazing historical place - but beyond its ancient charm it is also a really comfortable and homely house. We loved the huge family kitchen with its big, central table and lovely Aga. The beds were amongst some of the most comfortable we've ever slept in, the rooms were big and charmingly characterful. Whilst we would have liked a walk straight up onto the moors, we had a splendid 12k walk up to Kestor Rocks through Teigncombe, back via Middle Tor and Frenchbeer Rocks, and across the river at Teignworthy, up through Yardworthy and back round past Colihole Farm. We also loved the rope swing - quite thrilling."
