Only drawback for us was having dogs they had access to the complete area & as they would be wanderers we couldn't let them out alone, but it didn't detract from an enjoyable holiday.

All the properties are fabulous, well positioned for trips out (narrow Devon lanes!) and relaxing if you want to stay put. Diana is a fabulous host who is very welcoming with goodies for humans and dogs. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

The welcome was warm and then we had plenty of freedom to enjoy the place and its setting. The buildings are beautiful and the recommended places to visit showed us a new side of an area we know quite well.
