  Some very good features and some not so good - depending on what you value in a property.

  Outside- lovely outdoor seating area and immaculate hot tub that was lovely and hot throughout the stay. Decking and some of the furniture needed a clean before we sat on it - not ideal but not the end of the world. Play room was excellent. Generally very quiet so lovely and relaxing (but you are staying on a site with other guests in adjacent properties so potential for noise). Great playing field for the kids. Goals supplied. Indoor - well equipped kitchen with the exception of no tumble dryer and a slimline dishwasher - annoying but again not the end of the world. lounge was lovely although a bit of a squeeze to seat 6 adults. Needed more cooking knives and larger pans - feedback has been provided to the owner so hopefully future guests will benefit from it. Bed mattresses were comfy. Duvets didn't fit the sheets and fitted sheets were not used so if you have bed-OCD then this may be a problem. Showers were electric and had awfully low pressure - probably the most disappointing part of the stay. We had a problem with the freezer and a couple of other niggles that the owner was very quick to react to and solve so kudos where it is due. felt a bit like the property was slightly damp, particularly in the lower bedroom - given this was August, likely that that feel will be worse in winter months. Stairs to one of the bedrooms is VERY steep - as advertised - 60 degrees. Not a problem for us but may be for others so just be aware. Bathrooms were lovely and clean with lots of storage unlike other properties. Narrow lanes to get to the property like a lot of Devon. Ample parking which was great.

  We had a really wonderful stay at this beautifully restored wagon.

  It was definitely a romantic and memorable experience. So quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of life. A great place to unwind. The owners Nicki and Ben have thought of everything. It was quite windy one night and the wagon hardly moved it is tied down so well. We saw a family of deer including a stunning stag in the field. Also a white owl sitting on one of the posts. I loved laying on the bed with the windows open watching the birds in the hedge. We spent a night round the fire pit. The sky was littered with stars having no light pollution there. We slept so well here. They had left us a welcome bottle of wine from their own vine yard which was superb. The wagon is well situated with Ottery St Mary, Sidmouth, Branscombe, Beer and the Beer caves all not far. There is a wonderful ARK pottery just down the road. I’m so glad we went there. Some wonderful pieces of pottery for sale at quite reasonable prices. I would definitely love to come back and stay here again. NOTE: I would just like to say if you’re not a fan of really tight long narrow roads. Avoid Fire Beacon Lane. We drove down it on our first day. After that we always went the Sidmouth Road way which is much better.

  This was an incredible stay.

  I was previously in the travel industry for 11 years and this by far is the best "glamping" experience that I have had. Just enough off the grid so that you can enjoy the quiet and complete privacy, but at least cellphone reception, if you want it. I spent a week here with my dog for some R&R and we were both very comfortable. Everything you could need was there and the hosts Ben & Nicki were lovely and I even bought some of their lovely Solaris wine. You can see that there is great attention to detail and I am still impressed with what they have created here. Great bed, enough space to unwind and cook and it is also lovely for dogs. Great location as you can get to the ocean (various options) by car in a short drive, and lovely farm shops (also various options) to buy some treats/snacks/meat/eggs etc., within walking distance and there was also a restaurant, lovely hikes and more shops in the village (about 5 min drive). I am already planning my return next year. Thanks Nicki & Ben :) Adéle xx

  The holiday annex was situated in a perfect location, not more than ten minutes from the sea and Dartmouth.

  The local store not far away and in the village post office had all the items one would need to be self sufficient. Even down to the birthday card left at home for the wife. The break was for a period of one week and unfortunately weather this year wasn’t to kind and ment only one day on the beach at Slapton sands. The unfortunate situation was our blind dog who developed cataract a week earlier caught his toe nail in the shingles at the annex and needed veterinary care immediately back home. But we enjoyed the three days at the annex before returning home early. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to visit south Devon. My only critique would be to lay artificial grass instead of shingles in the garden to prevent small dogs tripping or stumbling.

  Lovely small bungalow accommodation, just right for two people.

  Situated down a country lane, so very peaceful, but only a few miles from Dartmouth and the coast. Ideal for visiting South Devon. Both Torquay and Plymouth are around an hour away, with plenty of other small towns and other attractions within that range. There are quite a few National Trust properties in the area, so having a membership to the NT is a good idea. Another good trip is to visit Buckfast Abbey, its a lovely peaceful location. The only issue we had with the accommodation was due to my wife's poor mobility.she struggled on the small stones used outside the property for the outdoor seating area and also the two steps up to the property itself as there is no rail to hold onto. Will definitely consider the property again next time we are holidaying in the area.
