"…where to begin with a stay and an experience which just seamlessly worked so well. Yes, the weather God’s also smiled on us such that the latter part of Sunday afternoon was spent by most of us sitting out in the deck chairs facing the setting sun..it was an incredible week-end weather wise and we really could not speak highly enough of the whole experience. The house works on so many levels and we were formerly resident in the Far East and have already mentioned it (Heatherside House) to that many people that hopefully some bookings from over there might materialize in the future! We were very appreciative of your patience with our booking and how accommodating you were. I honestly looked at the Croquet Lawn when we visited the property and thought, ‘well that will be too wet or damp and will not get any use’…oh how wrong I was! The ladies who cooked were great, the food very good indeed and really this is, as I am aware you already know, a very special venue..we all had the best week-end possible, with the laser clays also being a lot of fun. Whilst we were blessed with one of the best week-end's weather for summer, let alone that is was autumn, our three days at Heatherside House were quite simply brilliant. Every aspect of our stay from the venue itself to the in house caterers and including the arranged activity of laser clay's worked perfectly. Heatherside House is simply an outstanding venue for all ages to enjoy each other's company for a few days and to celebrate any special event. Edwards Group"

"Fantastic cottage in very peaceful location. Beautifully styled and very comfortable. it is very well appointed with everything you might need. Lindsey and Johnny, the proprietors are lovely - very welcoming and helpful with suggestions of places to eat and visit.There is a small village with shops about 5-10 mins to the south. Nearest good sized town (South Molton) is 15-20 mins to the north. There are a number of very good pubs for food within 15-20 mins drive. It really is quite remote but the upside is it's virtually silent there and there's not many places left like that!So only downside for some people might be how far you need to drive to visit places. It is approx 50 mins from North Devon coast and Exmoor. Also 50 mins from Exeter. But don't let that put you off. It's actually very well placed to be able to get to both North and South Devon so you can get in a bit of everything. It's actually nice to be able to visit the busier coastal towns and beaches then come back to compete peace and quiet. 100% recommend!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lamb's Cottage, perfect for two. Had forgotten how narrow some of the Devon roads can be so initial drive to the cottage was scary at times. The cottage was spacious and everything was well planned. Particularly impressed with the kitchen, small but perfectly formed, including a dishwasher and microwave etc. and well stocked with cutlery pots and pans.The thoughtfulness of providing basic items such as salt, pepper, teabags, milk, washing up liquid, pan scrub and tea towel was much appreciated along with the welcome pack that included wine, muesli and biscuits amongst other items.The bathroom equally well equipped. We liked the separate dressing room that acted as a walk in wardrobe. The only niggle we had was the mattress, for us it was too soft but after a day or two the Devon air helped us sleep like logs each night. The location was very peaceful and we enjoyed breakfasting outside and watching the many birds.Would happily return to such a lovely cottage in beautiful Devon."

"We had the most fabulous Christmas – almost the whole family from ages 4 to 78, and the time just flew by. Christmas Eve we dressed for dinner, canapés and champagne by the log fire, then dinner by candlelight around that huge table in the dining room. Christmas Day was a really relaxed affair – presents round the tree, a treasure hunt (ideal house for that) and silly family games. The children of all ages loved the games room and the barn, and the cooks gloried in the huge kitchen. A real old-fashioned Christmas, with lots of photos to aid our memories for years to come. Things we particularly liked though were: the huge centre work surface in the kitchen, with TWO dishwashers, the courtesy lighting in the skirting upstairs, the boot room (VERY useful), lots of fridge space, and lots of logs for the log fire. Many thanks for all your help throughout our preparations, and best wishes for for next year."

"Everyone had an amazing time in Devon and fell in love with Heatherside House. It really was the perfect venue and location. Even the mixed weather played to our advantage as we had a bit of everything! We were all very sorry to leave after what was an amazing weekend. The horse riding was a lot of fun and the girls who looked after us made sure everyone had a good ride, including the novices as well as the more expert riders. The murder mystery was very good. We had four actors who had to drive home in the middle of some rather horrendous weather, but it set the scene for the evening and they did a great job in getting everyone involved. The catered black tie dinner was delicious and provided a superb official dinner for my 40th birthday celebrations. So - we have some wonderful memories for what was a very special occasion. So thank you and the team for helping to make it possible."
