So comfortable and well equipped with all the essentials. Both bathrooms had amazing showers and we enjoyed relaxing after a day of walking in the roll top bath. Highly recommend.

Lovely bottle of wine for our enjoyment provided. The property, itself, has been beautifully built out of an old farm building and is warm, clean and very well appointed and equipped. Would say it is perfect for a couple although there are two lovely double bedrooms with modern ensuite bathroom facilities. Bit of a lack of privacy for two couples but probably ok for a few days. Very nice kitchen and excellent laundry. Plenty of parking. It is a little remote and you need to follow some very narrow Devon lanes to reach the property but once there is is peaceful and so very comfortable. Would recommend this property.
