What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  We had a lovely stay at the Hay barn and we thought it was a beautiful property.

  Just a couple of things I’d like to mention. On arrival we took our dogs for a walk around to familiarise ourselves and the neighbours cocker spaniel decided to run out and attack my dog. My dog was on a lead and this was totally unprovoked so I think the owners either need to put a gate up or tie their dog up if it’s going to greet guests and their dogs in this manner. Secondly the bin stall which is right outside the Hay Barn and opposite the pool was a bit of an eye sore and could do with being organised a bit better as quite off putting on arrival. Thirdly the property advertises a king and queen room. The twin beds put together to make the queen do not fit together properly and I kept falling through the middle and couldn’t cuddle up to my partner. Just a suggestion but I think the electric car charger also needs to be PIN code protected or it needs a sign with instructions as to who can use to to avoid any confusion. Other than these few minor issues we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this area of Devon is really picturesque. The garden wasn’t overlooked and there was lots of birds and nature around us. The house was well stocked with cooking utensils for those who wish to cook.

  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.

  Not off to a great start.

  The dishwasher was full of very smelly water in the bottom, apparently no one had checked that a cycle was complete. The washing machine had had the water turned off to it, so took a while to work this out & be able to use it. No airer to dry clothes on, & the drier didn't work on washing machine. Quite a few of the light bulbs weren't working & although there were details about where bulbs were kept, I don't expect to be a maintenance person the moment I arrive on holiday! The shower in the bedroom doesn't drain away properly so difficult to clean. Certainly these issues presented us with a disappointing view of our accommodation. Having paid what I feel was a lot of money for one week this property is a little jaded & tired & could do with some maintenance to justify the price

  Quirky cosy comfortable cottage in a very peaceful rural hamlet setting, with lots of narrow lanes to navigate to get too.

  Amazed by the ceiling friesche beautiful detail, cottage all on one level which was easier for our older dog. We made full use of the log burner on the coldest November nights. Only a few small negative points maybe a welcome pack would have been a nice touch, and we had to wash the cutlery draw as was dirty with long grey hairs in there. Was very central to all South Devon has to offer Totnes, Dartmouth and salcombe and some lovely beaches. Recommend the Old Inn halwell lovely evening meal and The Sportsman's Arms Blackawton for a fabulous Sunday carvery. Just two suggestions maybe an iron and ironing board would be handy, and for privacy a side curtain or net for the small side window by sofa. Enjoyed our time thoroughly thank you.
