“We had a wonderfully relaxing time at the stable.”

The property is stunning, peaceful, clean, and provided the perfect escape for us. The bed and sofa are extremely comfy, and the chairs in the bedroom looking out to the fields provide the perfect setting on a chilly, wet day! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Mr Hatton September 2020

“Great location and the cottage was well equipped and clean, and Melanie and Darren were really helpful if we needed anything.”

Perfect base from which to explore the area, we would definitely recommend Warden Farm Cottages.

Mr Alderman February 2020

“We had a lovely time in this beautiful barn conversion, even though the weather was wet and stormy”

Mr Gardner November 2019

“Super place.”

Very well kept and equipped, totally clean and lovely style. Especially the bedroom where sitting in those chairs looking out is just as imagined. Overlooked by sheep.

Mr White September 2019

“Lovely cosy little cottage”

- Mr White, September 2019
Mr Rudd July 2019

“The cottage was very well equipped and very clean.”

There is an outside space for eating, with amazing views. The cottage is in an ideal location for exploring Devon, especially Dartmoor. There are lots of lovely places to visit nearby, Okehampton Castle and RHS Rosemoor. Darren and Melanie were very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. We would highly recommend this cottage; a lovely romantic break for two!

- Mr Rudd, July 2019
Mrs Pluck June 2019

“The hosts were always readily available and friendly.”

Although The Stables accommodates two people the cottage kitchen had a wide range of equipment that can sometimes be lacking and a full set of cups, mugs plates etc rather than just two of each as we have found on occasions The lounge was comfortable and cosy whilst the seating area in the extensive bedroom had the most wonderful views complete with telescope! There was ample storage space and a quaint seating area on the enclosed patio. The property is well situated for access to tourist attractions and a short walk into the village.

- Mrs Pluck, June 2019
Mr Smith May 2019

“The perfect retreat from the everyday …… This was our second stay at The Stables, it's very comfortable, full of character, and the bedroom is outstanding both for sleeping and as a chill out area with views across the Devon countryside.”

The property was spotless through-out on arrival and is very well appointed with just about anything you might need during your stay. North Tawton is only about a mile away and has a pub, café, and shop and if you need a bit more Okehampton is just a few miles further. If you're looking for somewhere quiet, comfortable, and in a great location we couldn't recommend The Stables highly enough.

Mr Medway March 2019

“Excellent location.”

Cosy, warm property reasonably kitted out with mod cons. Relaxed owners, hardly knew they were there. They were very helpful with details before arrival and welcoming when we did. They left clear instructions about the property and another file suggesting local attractions, restaurants, bus routes and amenities.

Mr Baldwin September 2018

“Fabulous accommodation and great location.”

Would definitely return to Warden Farm Cottages.

- Mr Baldwin, September 2018
Mrs Reading August 2018

“The Stables is a lovely cottage in a quiet and peaceful location.”

It is perfect for a couple (and their dog) and the owners are very welcoming and on hand (but not intrusive) if you need anything. The cottage itself is well appointed and has everything you need (we could maybe have used a baby gate to stop the dog wanting to go upstairs but the clothes airer did a good job!). It is beautifully decorated and the bedroom is large with gorgeous views from the large windows. We had a relaxing stay and visited lots of the surrounding atttactions which are all mainly within a hours drive. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a quiet and welcoming break.

- Mrs Reading, August 2018
Miss Knowles July 2018

“The accommodation was perfect for the two of us.”

Darren and Melanie were very accommodating and helped us store our bikes in their garage. We thoroughly loved our stay and felt really spoilt. We will definitely recommend this to our friends and family.

- Miss Knowles, July 2018
Miss Merna June 2018

“We really enjoyed our time at the stable, everything you could possibly need was in the cottage.”

We felt welcome and like we where at a second home. We had no issues while we stayed here and would highly recommend.

- Miss Merna, June 2018
Mrs Gilbert March 2018

“The Stable was well laid out, freshly painted and equipped with new furniture - unusual for a property let out to dog owners!”

It was better stocked with more thoughtful touches than other properties I have stayed in. The owners were friendly, helpful and made me feel more like a "house guest" than a paying customer. Set in beautiful, quiet countryside it was the perfect spot to recharge my batteries. Thank you Melanie and Darren.

- Mrs Gilbert, March 2018
Mr Stephenson December 2017

“The cottage and facilities were perfect.”

The owner was friendly and helpful and provided everything you needed. The simplicity of booking was fantastic and I would rebook again without hesitation.

- Mr Stephenson, December 2017
Mr Turner November 2017

“The owner was very helpful , asking if we had any problems most days, we could not get connected to the Wi-Fi he gave us another code, still no good .”

When we left he said next year hopeful it will be rectify as he has only had property a short while

- Mr Turner, November 2017
Mr Watts October 2017

“Please note that due to a maintenance issue before our arrival, the owners very kindly upgraded us to "The Shippen", and to sum it up in one word "wow!”

" The property was exceptionally well equipped, beautifully furnished, and decorated to a very high standard. A real gem

- Mr Watts, October 2017
Mrs Jeffrey September 2017

“Lovely clean cosy little cottage ideal location for a relaxing holiday we would love to stay here again”

- Mrs Jeffrey, September 2017
Mr Bennett September 2017

“Owners Darren and Melanie were excellent hosts.”

They could not have been kinder. The accommodation was superb; clean and comfortable.

- Mr Bennett, September 2017
Mrs Whyley August 2017

“The owners Darren and Melanie were really nice and helpful, they made us feel really welcome and at home.”

The location is well situated enabling us to explore locations in both Devon and Cornwall. We would love to go back and stay here again and see the improvements that Darren and Melanie have planned for the location.

- Mrs Whyley, August 2017
Mr Yates June 2017

“We were surprised at the roominess of the property.”

Jacqui was always welcoming and dealt with everything we wanted. Is was a pleasure to be woken up by the abundance of the birds in the morning. If you want to be in the middle of nowhere but never too far away from civilisation, this is the property.

- Mr Yates, June 2017
Mr Smith June 2017

“We arrived to find a lovely clean cottage that is full of character and very well situated.”

The 'bedroom' which is the whole upper floor is an amazing space for relaxing and sleeping, with good views from its huge window. We stayed for a week because of our own time restrictions, honestly wish it had been two.......

- Mr Smith, June 2017
Mr Shilcock May 2017

“We had a lovely quiet week in this well equipped cottage which we used as a base for visiting the surrounding Dartmoor area with our dog.”

The cottage had everything we needed including places to exercise our dog, both at the location and also just down the lane. The nearest shop is a local SPAR which is a 20 minute walk (or 3 minute drive) in the village and had everything we needed. For eating out we would recommend The New Inn at Coleford which is about 20 minutes by car but worth the trip as the local pubs in the village didn't look that good - The Fountain Inn is the nearest but doesn't do food. For a good day out, visit the South Devon Railway that runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. There is also a lovely park on the edge of Okehampton called Simmons Park. The owners of the cottages on Warden Farm are changing hands shortly so hopefully the new people will provide the same excellent service that we experienced.

Warden Farm Cottages

This group of four beautifully spacious barn conversions rests on the fringes of the lovely North Tawton in Devon. These cottages are graced with warming, characterful features to provide the perfect base for a week of walking, cycling or simply sitting back and relaxing amongst the company of your loved ones. The living areas are roomy and lovingly decorated with cosy seating and TVs to sit and watch at the end of a long day. Rustle up your delicious, hearty meals in the well-appointed kitchens, three of the four cottages boast wonderful range cookers to add real character. The bedrooms in each cottage are finished to an exquisite standard, many with pristine en-suite facilities, offering a comforting place to catch your well-earned rest. Warden Farm showcases the most astonishing views, with the lack of light pollution in the area making star-gazing a fascinating pastime. There are five acres of private meadows surrounding the cottages, where guests can walk their dogs, sit and relax, or watch the abundance of wildlife around the natural ponds; from roe and deer to owls and buzzards. The Taw Valley provides lovely walks along the river banks as well as the Tarka Trail, available to walk or cycle at your leisure whist admiring the divine setting. In Devon, you can always be assured of plenty of local shops, traditional pubs and quaint villages waiting to be discovered.

The North Devon coastline is renowned for its long, sandy beaches, ideal for safe bathing and surfing, whilst the historic cathedral city of Exeter is just a short drive away with its cobbled streets, array of architecture, and interesting quayside area with cafés and antique shops. A stay in these beautiful North Tawton cottages will provide peace, relaxation, and a taste of rural life in stunning Devon countryside.
