The property is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with numerous reviews highlighting its spotlessness. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is praised for its beautiful countryside views and peaceful setting. However, some guests find the narrow approach lanes a bit challenging. The proximity to local attractions and the village adds to its appeal.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with special mentions of the bird feeders and views. Some guests note the kitchen could be better equipped and mention a small dishwasher, but these are minor points compared to the overall positive feedback.

It is in a quiet rural location with nice views but with easy access to the M5. It is ideal for touring both South and North Devon. Nice welcome pack of bread ,jam butter ,tea and coffee. Ideal for people who have limited mobility .The owners Tony and Marilyn were very friendly.

Such a delight to return. This is a lovely property, beautifully maintained and comfortable with everything required for a relaxing stay. The large variety of birds in the garden at the feeders are a delight to watch. There are many interesting places to visit in this area including National Trust, coastal and river walks. The owners are very welcoming. Highly recommended.

A large property with comfortable furniture and very comfy beds. Everything that you needed was available and some essentials were left in addition. One of the nicest holiday properties we have stayed in and I suffer with mobility problems but found everything perfect especially the walk in shower.
