What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Ray - Verified booking

  We absolutely loved our stay in this quaint village. The accommodation was pristine clean, the view wonderful, the owners accommodating and helpful, and the local areas stunning. The garden overlooks picturesque fields, several which are available and perfect for dog walks, whilst others give you a lovely view of cows grazing and general farm life. The garden itself is fenced, with metal fence mesh behind it to ensure your pooch won't take themselves on walkies without you. Inside you have all you need, with WiFi, Netflix, all your expected utilities, heating (and a log burner), a powerful shower and a good sized bath. An upstairs and a downstairs toilet also makes things a lot nicer for a family. The local pub is but a few minutes walk away and the people there are very friendly and offer good quality food. Tiverton is the closest town we used and is around a 20 minute drive, is a nice place to visit, and have a really nice view of the river running through it via a bridge and a walkway running next to it. After having several holidays in a row that were more hustle and bustle, this was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air and has made us put Devon at the top of our list of holiday destinations next year! Highly recommended, and from the communication we've had with the owner, it is a place they genuinely want to pour their love and passion into.

  The owner's direct contact with us was potentially helpful, but in fact the keys were not where they were said to be by him but were in the key safe as expected.

  The name sign for the property is barely legible and should be renewed as a matter of urgency. The owners directions to the property were misleading, although we recognize that navigating Devon lanes is a nightmare. For the information of future visitors to the property can we respectfully suggest the following: the easiest route to Toad Hall in the final stages is to proceed from Totnes via Harbertonford until the BP filling station is reached on the junction with the Dartmouth road on the left. Proceed past the turn to Dartmouth for a few hundred metres and look out for the LEFT turn to SLAPTON. Take this LEFT turn and proceed until there is a RIGHT turn marked with a white finger post. Take the LEFT turn immediately beyond this RIGHT turn. This lane goes directly to the final destination. Toad Hall is on the left behind the first group of houses that will appear. Turn in left at the sign "Middle Hutcherleigh" between the buildings and make an immediate - and very tight - right turn that will take you past Toad Hall, which is a single storey building on the left, hopefully with a renewed name sign. Further ahead down the slope and round a left curve in the track is the parking area. We think that a teapot should be provided. The food bin was in a disgusting state and wasn't where it was supposed to be.

  Really lovely pod, perfect for the two of us and our dog. We loved the hot tub and found the whole pod absolutely lovely to stay in. However there are some things that we were slightly disappointed with. The pod is dog friendly and we loved the little box of treats and dog bowls, however there is not security for the dog, no gate to the cabin area mean that the dog could very easily get out into the field and subsequently the road, we were lucky that we bought something to block the entry way, so might be something to note for future stays. We would have also liked some more information on arrival, there is an info pack, but it seemed to miss out things such as recycling, how to use the hot tub etc. We also arrived to some sort of meat item which was half frozen in the fridge, we were so unsure as to what this was to begin with, as it was just in a sandwich bag and we thought that it had just been left by previous guests. Although there were some negatives, the positives really outweighed them. The pod is beautiful, don’t up to a great standard, beautiful location and was just perfect for what we needed. We will thoroughly looking to book another trip here later in the year, and would recommend to anyone.

  Location was fantastic with a most amazing view across Torbay. This side of Torquay was very quiet, close to millionaires road!! With Meadfoot beach very accessible and an excellent large dog walking grass area just up the road , our dog had a great time too. Meadfoot beach cafe was open in the November - great to have close by. Directions to property were very accurate. Property was exactly as described. Very spacious as we used both levels, giving us 2 cookers, 2 fridge freezers and even 2 dishwashers! It was very well equipped , as we catered mostly at home - having found an excellent fish monger nearby in stmarychurch - so we ate local catches ! Property was warm and cosy with efficient central heating. Was a very good base for exploring the area and local walks close by. Car parking was no problem on road right opposite the house. We’d love to stay here again in the future.

  We arrived on a dark very wet evening.

  It was impossible to find this place. We eventually had to call at a house to ask for help. He agreed it was not very easy to find. Put up some directions. The cottage was freezing cold. Had a radiator in lounge area, which we later discovered, was not operable due to no gas in the property!!!. We sat with blankets around us until we got the fire going. The TV did not work for the whole of our visit. Misadvertising. Loads of DVD’s which proved TV did not work. Now the bed. We are both in our 70’s. The person next to the wall had to get the other person to move every time they get up. The only place that was warm all the time was the toilet area. Not much good. We would never visit this property again. It needs a lot of jobs doing to it. Ps no freezer compartment in the fridge. Couldn’t get the cooker top ever to work.
