Joanna
After a lovely welcome of freshly baked scones with jam and cream (Im a jam first person, sorry the people of Devon) from Jan, we settled very nicely into The Milk Churn, a warm and comfy cottage. Everything had been thought of, even down to buckets and spades for kiddies, if needed. We would throughly recommend a stay but do be warned, dont use satnav to navigate your way around stick to Jans instructions

Thank you Jan & David for a delightful stay in Milk Churn cottage. The cottage is located just off the A38 so easy access to main Devon dual carriageway. The kitchen has plenty of space and the bedrooms are comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay again in the future.

We had a lovely holiday at Milk Churn. It combines being on a farm in a quiet spot, with being within reach of many popular tourist spots in Devon and the surrounding area.
