"We stayed for 6 nights in these beautiful converted stables."
We stayed with our 16month baby and we had a great time. The stables were immaculate, warm and comfortable. The hot tub with its views over the fields was a real retreat after a long day on our feet. There was a toy/games cupboard and a children’s book shelf which our baby loved. We enjoyed the delicious homemade scones and jam, thank you. Beds were comfortable and there was always plenty of hot water. We ate at The Mitre pub which is 2minutes walk and found the food to be very good with extremely friendly staff. The village has 2 shops of which we used both. They are well stocked. There are two playgrounds, one of which we enjoyed. We had a lovely holiday at the stables and would definitely recommend this to family and friends. We look forward to staying again.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us we do try to provide everything we think visitors will need during their stay. We are lucky in a small village to have a good pub and two shops. We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"Hope House Stables did not disappoint, on arrival we were met with delicious homemade scones, heating on and hot tub ready."
Hope House is stunning, sympathetically restored stables in a beautiful location overlooking countryside, perfect place to relax, we stayed for 3 nights but wish we’d booked longer. We also hired Anita -Clare Field (private Chef) for Saturday night, her food was amazing!!!! We decided on a menu together, it was a real treat and something we’ll definitely do again when we return. On the Sunday we had Sunday lunch at the Mitre Inn, gorgeous food and lovely staff. Weekend was perfect xx
We are so pleased you enjoyed your weekend at Hope House Stables and that you enjoyed the food that Anita supplied it’s always a treat to have food from her. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hope House Stables. Property Owner

Mike, Jane and family all very friendly, welcoming, kind and helpful. From delicious scones, jam and cream, fresh flowers and dog treats for our young labrador, well equipped kitchen, barbecue and hot tub - they have thought of everything! The cottage was immaculate and very cosy. Perfect location for us, visiting family in Swimbridge and friends in Dulverton. Wonderful dog walks. Excellent local pub in The Mitre.

"Property located in Central Devon."
Quiet, rural area with a 40min drive to either North or south coasts. A perfect location for nighttime star gazing. Pub close by with two convenience stores. Weather wasn't brilliant - but that's England for you! Slightly disappointed with a stored caravan being used by people close by disrupting our privacy plus the gardener working with noisy petrol tools from an early hour forcing us to change our plans and go out for the day. Apart from the latter two incidents, the property was well presented, comfortable and the hot tub was a welcome feature.
Thank you for your feedback we are sorry the gardener disrupted your plans on Tuesday he doesn’t normally start before 9:30 am and we try to keep his noise level to a minimum. The caravan is located by the car parking away from any windows of the Stables. We are sorry this impacted on your stay. Property Owner

"We had an absolutely wonderful week at Hope House Stables."
Mike, Jane and family are excellent hosts who were always happy to chat and answer the many questions we had about the local area, places to go etc. The house is beautiful and we felt really comfortable and at home. Delicious scones for a cream tea were waiting for us as we arrived, plus treats for our dog. The hot tub was lovely and beds / sofas very very comfortable! Within walking distance of the house is a lovely pub, two well stocked shops and there are local food vans that visit in the week. A lovely peaceful location, with easy access to North and South Devon. A visit to Appledore for crabbing, as recommended by the hosts, was the best day of our holiday. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property and would definitely go back. Thank you!
Thank you for your generous remarks, we are so delighted you enjoyed your stay at Hope House Stables even though the weather wasn’t that kind to you. We are glad you had an enjoyable holiday and managed to see some of the wonderful locations within a short distance of us here in Witheridge. We’d love to welcome you back in the future.

"We have had a lovely stay at Hope House Stables."
It is a good base for visiting both north and south Devon but if you want to be nearer either then it might be better to book a closer accommodation. The hot tub was lovely after a day of walking/ visiting other places and the garden is so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts are excellent and the fresh scones on arrival were delicious. The fish and chips from the take away van on the Friday were delicious. Highly Recommend, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We try to point out that being central means you have excellent access to both North and South Devon coasts (within the hour). Even though we are located in a quiet village we do benefit from numerous amenities including dog friendly pub, pizza van, fish & chips van, 2 well stocked shops and easy access to Tiverton and South Molton.

Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and with all the amenities you would ever need including treats for the dogs.

"Our stay at Hope House was absolutely flawless."
A beautifully decorated, clean, & homely feel with all the accessories you would need. Peaceful views over the countryside to be had from your cosy hot tub. The flowers, homemade scones and doggie treats were all very much appreciated. Lovely walks nearby, local produce from the farm nearby and a very yummy Sunday roast at the Mitre Inn pub 2 minutes walk away. Definitely recommend a stay here you won’t be disappointed.

"We had a fantastic family holiday at Hope house."
Mike and Jane provided everything we needed and more, including lovely little extras such as Scones, flowers and even Easter eggs for the children. Hope house is by far the best holiday home we have ever stayed in, as it was immaculately clean and all of the appliances and decor made it feel very luxurious and homely. The hot tub was amazing and the surrounding area was great too. A lovely little village, very central to all attractions across Devon. We would love to return next year.

"We had a fantastic stay at Hope House Stables over the New Year with 4 adults, 2 children and a dog!"
The cottage was far better than we could ever have imagined, the facilities and fittings were of a very high standard.

We would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to staying here again in the near future.
