What our customers say about their holidays

  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 had a great week at the Stables, combining contract work locally with a few days tacked on for a break.

  It delivered for both. The location is stunning, set in its own little valley full of sheep, with a beautiful river running through it - incredibly peaceful and very green! The track up to the property is probably the best maintained rural driveway I have ever encountered. The house itself is very comfortable and has pretty much everything you could need, with everything working as it should. The beds are really comfortable, there's a wood-burning stove for extra cosiness and the kitchen is fully equipped. The WiFi was excellent. Greg and Marie are friendly and laid-back, careful to give you your own space but also very attentive and helpful when needed. There are plenty of pubs within easy reach, a village shop not far away and lots more a bit further away. We did day trips to Oswestry, Lake Vwrnwy, Pistyll Rhaedr Waterfall, Bala and Welshpool during our stay. Al in all, highly recommended. I have downgraded the accuracy score a bit because I feel the current photos really don't do the house or the surroundings justice!

  On my first entry into the house I banged my head on a low hung stone which keeps the thatch in place.

  I reckon it could be hung on the netting a few inches higher. The hot tap of the sink in the bathroom turns the wrong way for a Brit! Consequently the tap fitting has become loose and the nut underneath just needs to be tightened. The cooker hood didn't work but this was not an issue really, neither was the fact that the remote for the TV didn't work. We didn't go on holiday to watch TV but kept the program on a News channel alone. There was also a Radio which was good The most important thing is that the house is in a lovely situation, surrounded by a great variety of bird life including a short eared owl and a barn owl, and, of course it is close to a beach suitable for the hardy to swim from. Our stay was so enjoyable we regret not booking for longer. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. There is a lot one can do within walking distance of the front door!

  Absolutely spotless accommodation, had everything we needed for a perfect stay.

  The patio and surrounding area was fab as it was fully enclosed and we enjoyed a cup of coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine early evenings, enjoying the beautiful Pembrokeshire weather ❤️. We could not fault The Annex, tastefully decorated, gorgeous shower and we slept well in the most comfortable bed. Sheena and Mark are exceptional hosts. Sheena was extremely responsive to any questions I had and even went above and beyond to decorate the accommodation with banners and balloons for my husband's birthday and also organised a beautiful birthday cake! Saundersfoot is extremely close by, and Tenby about 5 mins away. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and for making my husband's birthday so special. We will definitely be back, thank you Jo, Ian and Freddie x

  We had a lovely stay at Sandpipers which was a great location for a larger family visiting Brighton. With a few tweaks this good property could be great. We stayed during a heatwave and found it very difficult to sleep in the stuffy upstairs bedroom and really needed a way to cool it down e.g. fans. There is a small sky light which helps a little with ventilation but as it is partially over the bed we also got rained on during the night on occasion! The area is quite hilly and the drive down to the house is steep (hence we didn't even try to park on it) so not suitable for some guests with mobility issues. Ovingdean however is lovely and peaceful and a great location for walks above Brighton and into Woodingdean with some lovely views to take in.
