Dog Friendly Villas In Tiverton

Reviews

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.

  We stayed here in 2019 and would have returned, but 2020 was cancelled, so we booked for 2021.

  The property was the same except that the warm wood exterior is now smart grey-and-slate. It’s clean and spacious, and has everything that a large group (sleeps 6) would need, including a dishwasher and a washing-machine, and except perhaps a small fruit or veg knife. There’s a fridge with freeze-box in the kitchen area, which has electric cooker and microwave, plus a large fridge-freezer in the walk-in larder, and the table seats 6. There’s a large en-suite bathroom in the Master, which has a balcony overlooking the big garden, plus a very large family bathroom with bath and shower, toilet and sink, and another small separate toilet. The garden is huge, bounded by fencing on 3 sides and the River Exe on the 4th, so perhaps not the best place for young children and/or small dogs. Our two Irish Setters, however, absolutely loved it, and this year I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a kingfisher, an amazing experience. There’s wifi, DV’s, games and books, but phone reception is only possible standing in the garden. It’s also not far to Dulverton, a delightful little town with several cafes and restaurants, a Co-op for groceries, and other useful shops. Tarr Steps is worth a visit, also Withypool, where there’s a small PO/shop and a cafe selling amazing cream teas, cakes, and main meals. Thoroughly recommend the Lodge and the whole area for sightseeing.

  I had to stay in my van every night as the bedroom was full of cobwebs behind the bed and I can't cope with spiders.

  I tried to vacuum them but it sent too much dust about the room. There were old cobwebs everywhere. My husband slept in the van for the last 3 nights due to his asthma in the dusty room. The owner came to swap the main tv which wasn't working, which we appreciated. The towels all smelt musty so we tried washing them but there was no drier so we struggled to dry them. The owner did show us where to find more towels some of which were OK. There were only 5 wine glasses which were all different and the place is for 6 so that was odd, also a lot of the crockery was badly chipped and cracked. The place itself was in a lovely setting but we couldn't fully relax due to the lack of cleanliness. There were cobwebs attaching from the back of all the sofas to various things. The toilets etc seemed clean. As we were taking our parents away for a holiday I was very disappointed with these issues. Such a shame as although it's a lovely property in a great setting, I couldn't recommend it.

  The Hayloft was perfect for a few days away.

  The hosts made us feel very welcome and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very much a family run business which shone through. We were surprised to see a lovely welcome package on our arrival. The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need and to a high standard. We enjoyed using the hot tub and towels were provided for this. The beds were very comfortable, as was the seating area in the lounge. The bedrooms were kitted out with lovely features too. There were plenty of utensils, crockery and cookware to cook there, including a gas barbecue that was ready to cook on immediately. The Hayloft is situated on a farm with parking in a gravelled area. Take a walk around the farm to see some absolutely stunning scenery. We also had a tour of the farm and stables by the owner which was amazing. We loved it so much we'd like to return ☺️☺️
