Only slight drawback was the rather soft mattresses on the twin beds.We enjoyed being on a working farm and found the surrounding area full of interesting villages and churches.

"We were very comfortable in this extremely well equipped farm cottage."
We were very interested in the biomass boiler and felt pleased to be Green on holiday. We didn't know you had a car charger point as well! Being able to walk across the farm land to Dumpdon Hill was a great stretch in the morning. All in all a lovely February holiday.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and that you were able to enjoy the surrounding area and the local walks. We do hope to be able to welcome you back to the cottage again in the not too distant future. Property Owner

"Wonderful home from home, with a very well equipped kitchen, down to kitchen scales and cake tin, in case you want to make a cake for a birthday whilst staying."
The hosts are on hand and very friendly, with a nothing is too much trouble attitude.
The logs burner made it very cosy on blustery days.
Having two dogs, staying on a farm was a great bonus as often we’ve found, whilst holidaying in Devon, you are restricted to walking on the lanes and jumping into the hedge if a tractor comes along! Here, there are acres of land you are free to walk in (responsibly) with your dogs. Also great for two energetic boys!
Honiton town is very close by and there are lots of great places within a short drive to visit.
Not that we needed it, but excellent facilities for people with limited mobility.

"This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cottage and have booked again for same time next year."
The owner has provided everything you need for your stay. Good for dog walks from the cottage and a good base for exploring this part of Devon.
The owners are on hand if you need anything.
The only thing to add would be a clock in the kitchen would be handy.

"Nice clean property but a bit on the remote side ,generally ok but a couple of points that would have made it better was that there was no upstairs shower which would have been better and also the cooker only worked when it wanted to."

"Please pass on to the owners that we would have appreciated a welcome handbook."
We struggled to understand how the cooker worked and this caused frustrations. We did contact the owner in the end.
Also there needs to be instructions on how to use the chair lift. We were lucky and did not need to use it but again this would have been useful to other guests.
The single beds need to be changed to bigger singles. And the one by the small window needs to be replaced as it was wooden and creaked with every slight turn or movement.
There are needs to be a shower upstairs above the bath. Four people using one shower which was downstairs is not sufficient. The downstairs shower is a wet room which does not drain very well, hence when you want to use the toilet after someone has used the shower your clothes (when wearing towers) get wet!. The overhead shower head needs to be changed to a round one. we even had to clean all the animal hair off the cushions before we could sit down and clean the outside furniture of green algi before we could sit down. Just small things that would really have made a difference.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The owners are on site and encourage guests to contact them should there be any issues during the stay. They would have been pleased to assist on this occasion too! There are instruction manuals for appliances in the kitchen drawer. If guests would like to use the stair lift they are advised to contact the owner as this is better demonstrated in person. The wet room does drain and a floor squeegee is provided to help with this process if required. The upstairs bathroom wouldn't be suitable to accommodate a shower, so the separate wet room offers this option for those that prefer a shower. The single beds are quality sturdy, handmade wooden beds which are built to a standard single size. The outside garden furniture is a green metal design and cushions are available for guests to use. The cleaners do their best to ensure that pet hair is removed on each changeover. The owners would have welcomed the opportunity to address any of your concerns at the time. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful location."
It really was home from home with everything you need provided. Lovely welcome from the owners who are on hand if you need anything but leave you to enjoy your break, perfect balance. It was fabulous to be able to wander around the fields, we loved seeing the animals. The grass area in the garden is up a little spiral set of steps, worth being aware of if your dog struggles with stairs. Cant fault anything looking forward to a return visit soon.

"The farm use a biomass boiler and as they both work they can only prime it 2 a day so if you come home early there may not be a lot of heat in property only what is retained in the building."
This is fine but maybe logs and kindling should be outside the front door on a daily basis so that clients can light the wood burner and not be chilly. It was quite dusty where you wouldn’t clean everyday and if you were asthmatic etc it cld cause an issue. I understand that it is rural living but having enough lights to shave and put makeup on were lacking.
We did have a lovely time and it was nice to chill away from work and busy life. And one last thing there was no WiFi which meant we spent money on data from our provider bit annoying. I understand that the owners are trying to sort it as I write this.
These are smallish things and in no way spoilt our break but need to be said so that improvements can be made

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry some minor issues occurred during your stay but are grateful for you bringing them to the owners attention, giving them the opportunity to address them swiftly. Logs can be requested on arrival if wanted, as noted in the key collection details, but with winter approaching, perhaps some could be left
available. It was regrettable BT were not able to fix the Wi-Fi before the end of your stay and the owners are currently having fibre optic installed
to improve service going forward. Despite these things, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday and would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

"A great place for a short break with our 2 Labradors!"
The farm is so lovely and spacious and, although there are animals all around it is very well designed for visiting dogs with secure fencing and walks direct from the door. The location was perfect for us to explore the Honiton and surrounding countryside & beaches - we were house hunting and it was in the perfect location for us and we received some tips on places to look at from the friendly, but respectfully distanced owners. An early morning walk up to Dumpton Hill directly from the cottage early in the morning was a real highlight. Stunning.

"The cottage was a lovely little cottage with views of the fields."
It is a rural cottage and there is silence to relax and rewind. There are narrow lanes, but this is Devon and normal. The cottage was in a good location to visit the beaches of Devon and Dorset. We would stay again as we really relaxed and enjoyed our time on the farm and the owners Jayne and Rowan were lovely. We had some issues with the Internet and Jayne got onto the provider and sorted it. We arrived and Jayne had thoughtfully left us some milk, teabags and cake. This was a lovely touch. We were so relaxed that we did not want to leave. Our dog, Suki had made a friend in Jayne's dog Coco and refused to get in the car to leave. We all miss the farm.
