Springfield Farm

Quiet and spacious property with great views.

When we arrived the Wifi password wasn't written down and we couldn't find the router. The owners family came to help and with opening the bifold doors which were stuck. Stayed during a heatwave so the property was very hot and difficult to cool down. We asked for a fan which was delivered. It needs roof vents. Only way to cool the building was to open all doors which wasn't so good when you have a dog to keep safe. After a few days the owner visited us. She invited herself in to water the house plants and generally wander around. We weren't happy with this intrusion. A cooler week probably would of been quite different.

Super property, loved all of it and just such a great space Beds really comfy Always had lots of hot water Very well stocked kitchen Lounge area great Some of us went Trout fishing at the nearby river, very cheap, all equipment provided and tuition was superb, and we had steamed trout for dinner Only issue was one of our party was having to do some work, and WIFI was a little patchy Would 100% recommend and go back in a heartbeat

Springfield farm is an amazing place to stay.

The house and surroundings are beautiful and we can’t wait to return there!

Property was well maintained,clean,tidy and very well equipped.

Met the owners who were helpful and informative.A property i would be happy to recommend.

A beautifully property completed to an excellent standard.

The owner is an artist in her own right, which shows in the design and decoration throughout. Everything at a scale to suit the lovely large space. Unfortunately we didn't have the best of weather, but being indoors here was no great hardship. Everything we could have asked for was there ready to enjoy, including books, board games and puzzles. The local pub (the new inn) is definitely well worth a visit. Good food, good atmosphere, nice staff.

We had a brilliant time staying at Springfield.

We were very grateful to have found you after our original holiday was cancelled at short notice. Thank you for popping by to welcome us and check in on us during our stay. Your holiday home is a perfect place to relax and watch all the wildlife that live in the surrounding gardens and woods. We leave feeling very happy and recharged and hope to return one day!

This holiday home certainly has the wow factor.

So comfy, spacious, bright and warm. The owner met us as we arrived and explained how everything worked, we spent a lovely week exploring the area and it was a pleasure to return to at the end of a busy day. If you're a bird lover, fill the feeders up, you wont be disappointed.

Our party of four found Springfield Farm the perfect rural escape.

The house lived up to your description, it was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The spotted woodpeckers and other birds at the feeders, kept our interest all week. We are grateful that the owners shared their home with us.

There were six of us using this house, four adults and two young children.

Beautiful house with loads of space. Three bathrooms and three double bedrooms cannot fault the house. It’s a shame that the space outside is a meadow and not suitable for playing in.

Had a really good stay and will be looking at staying again.

Very nice property and good location for visiting the surrounding area.

This is probably the best property we have ever stayed in and we’ve been doing this for years .

We loved the comfort , the fascinating variety of art and the peaceful environment . Our hosts had thought of everything we might need . The property was near plenty of lovely places to visit and is ideal for those who like walking . All five of us came away feeling relaxed and our souls enriched . Highly recommended .

Lovely holiday home.

Spacious and light. Clean. Loved the settee so comfortable. My son loved the lights in the shower and having the grounds to walk in was a bonus. We saw lots of wildlife and the sunsets were beautiful. Ideal location to visit lots of places within 15 - 20 mins.

We've been holidaying in Devon for years and this is by far and away the best property we've ever stayed in.

Peaceful, tranquil and at one with nature. The accommodation is superb, clean, comfortable and classy. Everything is provided for. The outside space is wonderful - our dog loved it! Couldn't have asked for a better pace to stay and will certainly be looking at returning next year!

Would highly recommend this property, it has everything you need if you’re a couple with a pooch like us or a family, it has the space indoors and outdoors, Location was ideal being 20/25 min drive from most towns/tourist spots, The owners were lovely giving us a warm welcome and a goodbye, would love to go back in the future.

WOW!

Springfields is amazing. The property is HUGE but still has a cosy feel with a mix of modern and antique furniture. It is situated off a very narrow country road. We missed the turning on arrival as the name plaque is small, but noticed a traffic cone outside every day afterwards. There is everything you need if you want to self cater from a microwave, a variety of pots and pans, to a dishwasher. Pam, the lovely owner, came and introduced herself and showed us how everything worked and answered any questions we had. On our final day she and her husband came to collect the rubbish and recycling and to bid us farewell. The property is ideally situated for relaxing or exploring Devon but we were surprised to find we were only approximately an hours drive from Looe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and heartily recommend a stay.

The property was lovely and exactly as described in the pictures.

Great farm house with all the amenities possible and the hosts were very sociable, welcoming and generous with us The area was also good for a summer stay and would recommend this place to most. Sadly broadband was down for the entire duration of our stay and network here is limited for reasons outside the control of our hosts.

We had a lovely week at Springfield farm.

Accomadation is excellent, really spacious, quiet and beautiful surroundings.

A ramp at the front of the house would be a help for anyone who is not too steady on their feet as the gravel is quite uneven and also perhaps a painted line at the edge of each layer of steps at the front as it is easy to misjudge the step down.

Beautiful barn conversion, very comfortable and spacious with spectacular views.

Owners very helpful and friendly.

A fabulous week at Springfield Farm, the pictures do not do the property justice - so much space inside and out!

Our dog loved all the outside space. Very secluded, lovely to sit and enjoy the scenery and watch the birds, buzzards circling, herons at the pond and swallows. A couple of the swallows came inside through the bifold doors on one day! Great to visit a property where the little things had been thought of like coffee tables by the chairs - have been to other properties where you end up having to put your drinks on the floor. Beds and chairs very comfortable, were able to have the relaxing week that was much needed. Great visits to Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Slapton Sands. The property facing South makes it an amazing suntrap which could do with an extra canopy to fold out for shade. Stunning sunsets over the hills each night, we were very fortunate with glorious weather. Thank you to the owners, lovely chat to you about how you built the property.

Wonderful outlet, grounds and fantastically spacious property (which with the rainy week)

Had a lovely week except for the weather the owner called on us to make sure we were all ok during the storm, hopefully we will be booking again next year

We had a pleasant stay at this unusual property, on the whole very comfortable and a mix of old and modern which worked well.

it’s in a lovely position with views across to Dartmoor. To me first impressions and attention to detail are very important. After a journey of several hours we wanted, as most people do, a cup of tea. No fresh milk. I did find some sachets of UHT which we don’t like. We’ve stayed in places where there is very little left in the way of a welcome pack but most places have provided a pint of milk. I must say that a property we stayed in last year left us a hamper with which we could have easily made a meal, milk, eggs, bread, cheese, local produce, not to mention a beautiful vase of flowers. A few minor things. No oven gloves, I could have contacted the owner but forgot about it until I needed to use them. Second, the salt and pepper mills were almost empty. Not a problem for us as we don’t use much but a friend of ours would have emptied them in one meal.I did have to wash one or two things before using ie. the milk jug looked like it had been used for gravy and the baking tray nods binning. The biggest problem was the shower next to the twin room.There was a note stuck on it warning that the water doesn’t drain quickly and not to have the water on too fast. I just about managed to wash my hair and shower very quickly before the tray was full. There was no way anyone else could shower immediately after. I don’t know how long it took for the water to drain as we were out but certainly I think more than an hour. Sorry if I sound like a Moaning Minnie, but these things are small and easily rectified, although I don’t know about the shower. Lastly, no Visitor’s book, not that we could find and I do enjoy reading about others experiences!

Had an amazing week, we love Devon and visited a lot of places including new ones.

Very comfortable home, the most beautiful views that we have had I think in all the years we have been visiting. Will definitely return. Thank you.

We all (three generations + dog) had a fantastic stay at Springfield Farm and would definitely recommend it.

The owner came and showed us where everything was and how it worked. There is plenty of room for everyone inside and outside. There is a pond right at the bottom of the huge grounds so if you have toddlers watch them. There are a few beaches to choose from to visit and the Woodland Theme Park is about 10 to 15mins away. It was lovely to hear the wildlife at night. A special thanks to the owners.

We enjoyed our stay at Springfield.

The owners were very helpful. A nice big garden with 2 ponds. We saw a fox, a Heron and a bird of prey The grass was cut whilst we were there (Some if it is left uncut to grow wild plants for most of the year - to attract the birds and insects so it is only cut once a year). There is a large patio which gets a lot of sun. It was exceptionally hot when we were there. We think a parasol would have been handy, it would have been well used. We have mentioned this to the owners. One thing I would upgrade if I owned it: The patio is raised and has nothing at the edge. Perhaps a few planters around the edges and additional railings alongside the steps would make it safer and easier for some guests to go down into the garden? My elderly dad had to be helped down the steps. Inside the property the decor is a mixture of old and new. Quite eclectic but it works! We found most things that we needed.The beds and the lounge seating were very comfortable and we didn't have any major problems. Minor problems with the main tv but the owners say they are going to upgrade their package. No problems with wifi. There are some very modern touches like the hob that drops down, the grid that sucks in the swept up debris from the floor, the changing coloured lights and the jacuzzi nozzles in the master en suite shower. Some of the artwork was created by the owner who lived in the property before renting it out. There is a large utility room where you can dry your washing on a big clothes airer. Very handy. We had very high temperatures so took some fans and spare flat sheets for the beds. The property is very quiet apart from the sound of an occasional vehicle. It can be found on a country lane. Blink and you can miss it. There is a small sign at the top of the drive and there are 2 grey gates. Look out for the traffic cone as you approach the property. Beware that some of the local roads are single file with passing places but after a couple of days you get to know which routes have 2 way traffic, better wider roads so you can use the narrow roads as little as possible. If you want to get away from it all for some peace, quiet and space this property is ideal. You aren't far from Moreleigh or Totnes for various amenities. Asda found us easily to deliver some shopping the day we arrived. As stated by the owner, not suitable for under 5s. Ideal for people with older children or just adults.

I cannot fault the cottage, it was great.

Our only disappointment was the grounds as they are not as per the photos. I fully understand the nature benefits of keeping long grass but there is a 2nd field behind that’s long. We purposely booked this cottage over others due to the large garden so my boys could run around and we took lots of ball games with us. There was space but I didn’t like the boys going into the extremely long grass to collect balls and not the full space, I wouldn’t have minded if one side kept long but not how it is at present. Apologies if you do find any tennis balls or shuttlecocks in the grass when it is cut. The garden was the original appeal to us with this cottage but inside was lovely and as per photos.
