The cottage is beautiful and so well equipped, couldn't think of a thing we needed and didn't have. Although on a working farm it is set back in a peaceful and private part, you forget anyone else is around. We benefited from games barn, football in the garden, lovely walks across fields to shop/pub and ended days with a soak in the hot tub.

Fabulous find in rural Devon. The kids loved the games barn and we loved the warm, sociable kitchen and large corner sofa for family movies.
