Jan and Rick are fantastic hosts, they made us feel very welcome, the Hobbits hide is so peaceful and secluded. It has its own entrance and secure courtyard which allows you to come and go as you please. We would definitely book Hobbits Hide again, as you cannot fail to love it.

I booked this holiday on a whim early in the year partly due to location as it is the next village up from my parents, also due to price and facilities, the fact that the reviews were good sold it to me. We did a mid week break, the property is deceptively spacious and spotlessly clean, the facilities are excellent as it has Sky TV, Netflix, DVD player so perfect for the quiet evenings. The washer and dryer were perfect for us as a family as went home with all clean washing. The Spa bath was an added bonus perfect after a hike. Hosts were nice and approachable but gave you privacy, they included a welcome pack of basic food items which was much appreciated. I would book again but stay for longer.

Lovely base for our holiday in Devon. Beautiful and peaceful location. Hobbits Hide had everything we needed and the spa jacuzzi was a fab addition. Hosts were friendly and the welcome pack on arrival was a nice surprise.
