Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention that the cottage is exceptionally clean, spotless, and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The property is lauded for its brilliant location, offering easy access to Dartmoor, Exeter, and both South and North coasts, making it an ideal base for exploring Devon.
Guests find the accommodation very comfortable, with several noting the comfortable bed and sofa, and perfect for relaxation, suggesting a high level of comfort throughout their stay.
The property is described as well-equipped with modern appliances and facilities. However, a few minor suggestions for improvement prevent a perfect score.

About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty village of Tedburn St Mary is Great Huish Farm. Approximately seven miles from the historic city of Exeter, this 40 acre sheep farm is just a short drive away from the north eastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The original ploughman's quarters have been expertly converted from a 16th century long barn where the heavy horses were stabled to two superb, adjoining holiday homes. The Yoke, the smaller of the two, retains much of the character of the original barn with ancient beams and sloping ceilings. The living space is bright, airy and open plan, complete with wood burning stove and oak floors and encompasses a stylish kitchen area. A winding staircase leads to the pretty bedroom which enjoys sweeping views across open fields. Outside, guests have their own patio overlooking the lawned garden which is shared with its neighbour, The Furrow.
Tedburn St Mary lies on the inland Devon, just three miles from the Dartmoor National Park and west of the cathedral of Exeter. The village is home to thatched cottages and two good pubs and a shop. Tedburn St Mary also offers the Tedburn Fair, held every September and a Methodist church. Other attractions close by and well worth a visit are the Crealy Adverture Park, the beaches at Exmouth and Teignmouth and the National Trust properties of Castle Drogo, Killerton House and Lydford Gorge.

Lovely hosts. Lovely area, Feels beautifully rural but near to A30, so easy to get out and about. Minor problem with heating controls immdiately attended to by our host. Highly recommend 'The Yoke'!

Owners really helpful without being intrusive. Despite the frequent deluges of rain, sleet & snow we experienced, the enclosed shared lawned garden was a real bonus for our dog. Caution required when turning off A30 & also when turning into farm entrance due to speeding drivers - indicate well in advance for both junctions.
