The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with mentions of a well-stocked kitchen and safe garden. However, some guests noted the lack of local area information and Wi-Fi issues, which slightly impacts the score.
While many reviews express gratitude for the hosts' welcoming nature and the enjoyable farm experiences, there is no specific mention of gifts, and therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on this criterion.
About this property
This traditional farm cottage is attached to the owners' thatched Devon farmhouse, on a working dairy farm in Filleigh near South Molton. The farm is tenanted and forms part of the renowned Castle Hill Estate, a Grade I listed park and gardens. Set within an idyllic rural location and with amazing far reaching views, this comfortably-furnished cottage provides an ideal getaway for a family or group of friends. Spread over three floors, there is a family bedroom on the second floor, an en-suite double, an additional double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, plus a kitchen and sitting room on the ground floor. Both the front and back doors of the cottage open to a spacious enclosed garden with lawn, patio, furniture and extensive views across the cow barns to the countryside beyond. Children will love the swings, dogs are safely enclosed and the adults can sit and relax whilst enjoying a barbecue. The farmers love to encourage their guests to feed the calves, admire the lambs, all of which gives a real taste of Devon rural life. The local village thatched pub is very popular with families and as this lovely cottage is so accessible from the A361, it is easy to reach the market town of South Molton for shopping. Exmoor provides a great escape for walkers and wildlife lovers, whilst the spectacular North Devon beaches are all a short drive from your holiday cottage and provide endless sea, sand and surf for all members of the family. A welcoming cottage near the moorland and coast, perfect for families and lovers of a quiet life on the farm.
The small village of Filleigh is set in North Devon, near South Molton. The Castle Hill Estate, a Grade I listed park and gardens which are occasionally open to the public, owns much of the land that surrounds Filleigh. Set just on the edge of Exmoor, this is an ideal base for those looking for picturesque walks in this beautiful area.

Despite the cold wet spell at the start of our holiday the cottage was warm and it was no problem spending the afternoons indoors.The beds and bedding were excellent. The lounge was big enough for board games and cards at the table while others relaxed on the sofa. It is a short drive to Barnstaple and South Molton, two places we enjoyed visiting.

A comfortable, warm and spacious home from home, well situated for exploring Exmoor and the the North Devon Coast. We were a family of 6 plus one bouncy collie, who loved the large enclosed garden. The kids loved the Rock and Rapids which is just down the road - for bouldering, line climbing, archery and more! Highly recommend
