Had a great weekend with 14 adults and 8 toddlers. So much cooking equipment to cater for everyone and loads of toddler crockery etc was a really nice touch. Plenty of space for everyone, great outdoor space and we made use of the hot tub. The kitchen/dining room in the main house was plenty big enough to get everyone round.

Fantastic cottages. Lovely lady met us on arrival, with scones, jam and cream awaiting us. The cottages were both very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Everyone enjoyed playing pool and table tennis as well as the fabulous hot tub. We all had the most amazing time. Thank you.

Two very comfortable buildings, well equipped for a large gathering. In a quiet location, only the odd car or tractor. Lovely views. Games room and hot tub kept everyone amused. Easy reach to Bideford and beaches at Westward Ho! and Instow.

We stayed at the farmhouse - can't fault the accommodation, cleanliness & facilities. Both properties were absolutely stunning. Lovely river and countryside views. Great, safe garden for children and dogs. The hot tub was a bonus! We would all definitely like to go back again & highly recommend these properties.

We only booked the barn, not the whole property, which sleeps 14. A wonderfully converted barn to a very high standard. Down a narrow lane but with wonderful views across the river. Peaceful location and everything that you could want in the barn by way of equipment. Responsive owners when we had a problem using the induction hob.
