• "Very enjoyable stay in a cosy, secluded cottage on a working farm."

  An ideal base for touring the coast and Exmoor. We enjoyed watching the small farm animals at close quarters.

• "It would have been nice to have a fridge with a freezer compartment, as no shops close by."

  The best place to watch the TV was on or in bed, as it causes problems with the neck sitting in a chair. Property was in a lovely area and easy to find. The bed was very comfortable so slept very well.Owners very nice, helped and friendly.

• "Lovely stay dropped for the weather so brilliant."

  Lovely place to stop central location. Excellent sun trap in the afternoon. WiFi not fast enough for my son but he's a teenager so it's to be expected. Brilliant time made a few more memories. Thank you for the cream and scones took me 3 days to eat the cream but enjoyed every spoon tbh.

  Mark the farmer and his wife were brilliant and helped us to sort out the car .. we would have been stuck without their help We would recommend the old workshop 100%, close to local pubs with fantastic food and not far from coastal towns , The farm is a joy with its wildlife and animals and is so peaceful . It is set in outstanding scenery . Very friendly family run Business .

  Thank you so much for your great review, we're pleased you enjoyed your stay here with us. We were only too happy to help with your car, these things happen and we're glad you were able to get it sorted, not easy when away from home. Property Owner

• "A comfortable, clean little dwelling at a reasonable price with plentiful hot water."

  It would benefit from some attention in the bathroom e.g. the wobbly lavatory seat etc. Some basic instructions on how to use the oven and microwave would have been useful.

  Thank you for your feedback and for bringing to our attention the wobbly loo seat. A new one has been ordered. Unfortunately if people don't tell us there is a problem we don't always realise there is. If you had told us while you were here we would have swapped it over for you with another one. Again if you had asked we would have come in and run through how to use the oven and microwave with you, we are only next door. Hope this didn't affect your stay with us too much and you had an enjoyable time. Property Owner

• "Property was fine."

  Shower would be nice but not the end of the World.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay here with us. We are aware the lack of a shower is a problem to some but our property listing does show there isn't one. It is something we are looking into for another year. Property Owner

• "A friendly greeting and well equipped accommodation."

  Would have liked a shower attachment to the bath, but we knew there wasn't one listed when we booked. Lovely little bolt hole thank you and nice to be able play fetch with the dog in the enclosed garden. Although it is worth noting the garden is shared with the owners and our dog ran into their house for a visit at one point, which they were very understanding about!

• "Although the accomodation was as described, it was very dated and basic."

  There was an old dast food container catching the drips from the leaking toilet, plumbing was very noisy. The mattress was uncomfortable and pillows provided little support. Poor selection of crockery and cutlery. There was a removable hand-held shower whuch didn't seal around the taps so was unusable. The property has potential but needs considerable updating and investment.

• "The old workshop was very dated."

  The bathroom needed a complete refurbishment and the kitchenette needed replacing, having said that though, the place was clean and comfy.

• "A relaxing break."

  Watching the ducks and chicken in the farm yard. Homemade scones and cream and jam on our arrival,a nice surprise. Was lucky enough to be able to feed lambs. A farmer who took time to show me round farm , then had a really nice conversation. You will need a car to get around.

• "We had a lovely time There As stated above it was clean and warm with constant hot water and a very comfortable bed but perhaps a little dated."

  Often there was no online service but just due to the valley position

• "The farm location is good but you do need a car to go any were ."

  If you just want to relax and read this is for you. The cottage is ok for a couple they accept a well behaved dog. It’s a bit old fashioned and could do with a proper shower but it had all other things you would need. The area is very beautiful and good for sight seeing . They also do larger cottages that cater for families.

• "The only thing that would of been nice is to have a shower over the bath."

  The tap shower wasn't very good. But this did not effect the over all accommodation. It was very peaceful just the sound of duck, geese and sheep which was lovely. Defiantly will recommend to others. Thank you.

• "This was a beautiful place to stay."

  Although quite remote, I would recommend bringing provisions. The landlady was helpful as were her family. You can buy lovely fresh eggs from the farm which were a real treat. Ducklings come to meet you as you arrive as the duck pond is close to the studio building. We would definitely recommend a visit.

• "An excellent "get away" break."

  Difficult to do anything but simply relax and yet plenty of shopping and browsing activities just a few miles away.

• "This place is ideal for a relaxing tranquil break, it's quiet and secluded but with a pub, restaurant a few minutes away and North Molton 15 minutes by car."

  We found that it was the perfect place for us. The only thing that could improve our stay would be to improve the WiFi speed as we were unable to watch Netflix on the TV.

• "Perfectly placed for walking on Exmoor and getting away from it all."

  I loved seeing the geese and ducks in the farm yard. If you need a shower spray to wash your hair and a prefer a large, soft towel, then take your own. Storage heater warms the room up lovely, but just be aware this takes a while when you first arrive.
