  Part of me almost doesn’t want to write this review so I can keep this absolutely gem a secret, but that wouldn’t be fair.

  When we arrived, Glen met us at the property to give us a guided tour and to show us how to use the hot tub. She was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. The first thing you notice with the property is the size. It’s was huge and easily accommodated the 6 of us. It also has 2 double bedrooms which is a rare find! The vaulted ceilings also made it feel more spacious and light. Every room had a tv, fresh bedding and towels and even individual bars of soap which was a lovely touch. There had separate towels for the hot tub and for bathing. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with pretty much every utensil you could need. There was even basic condiments for cooking as well as products for cleaning / washing up. The hot tub was very relaxing and got daily use. There’s a privacy screen next to it so you’re not overlooked and you can just relax and enjoy the views. So, the views. The location is truly stunning. Set in its own private field, there is plenty of grassy area to enjoy and even 2 lakes which are well stocked with fish, if that’s your thing. There’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy, from wild deer to Kingfishers so make sure you take some binoculars. The nearest town was Bampton which had a couple of Spar shops, decent butchers and pharmacy and was only a 5 min drive away. All the locals roads were very quiet, but are well connected if you wanted to travel further afield. Can definitely recommend the Grand Wester Canal for a lovely walk. All in all we had an amazing time and will definitely be back soon.

  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 was very happy with Stagsholt where I stayed for 7 nights in May.

  David gave me a warm welcome and explained all the "stuff you need to know" clearly and it transpired we had a little history in common. A welcome pack of eggs, milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and wine helped me to settle in. A vase of wild flowers in the bedroom was a delightful touch. The shower cubicle was large and bathroom newly refurbed. The only thing missing was a shelf and some hooks in the cubicle for my products. Bed was comfy and lots oh hangers in the wardrobe, its these little things that made it a place that i would love to go back to. The weather could not have been better and I spent some relaxing hours on the N Devon beaches, especially Instow, and on the top of Exmoor. I managed to catch up with several friends in the area and visited the farm where I spent my teenage years. I was delighted to find that the gardens were open that week so had a sentimental wander through the past. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone that fancies a quiet, out of way location that is very comfortable and with hosts who were friendly and approachable. Thank you Marion and David.

  Twyford Cottage, Pete and Sue, both lovely helpful people.

  Enjoyed chatting, meeting the dogs who are gorgeous and loved the bonio treats. The Cottage, is AMAZING, more than we, my husband, and I expected. Cosy comfortable and Clean. Everything we needed and more. So pretty the gardens, enjoyed our walkabout, plus seeing the rabbits early morning from back landing window. Beautiful hills around the farmyard, seeing the cows and sheep and Pete dashing on his quad bike and using his tractors. We loved the area very very much. So peaceful. Tiverton itself is great, we particularly loved the Saturday market and the coffee in the lovely cafe. Busking and lots of lovely people selling all sorts of bits. Lovely local produce too. The town is also very interesting and worth a look round. On the outskirts is Tesco and the other end Morrisons. Avoid the cafe in Morrisons very dirty everywhere. Bickleigh Mill and shops etc interesting and worth visiting. Mike and I will most definitely return again to Twyford Farm Cottage. Missing our interesting chats with Pete.!
