Beautiful scenery and lovely accommodation. Would have benefited with an en-suite as two separate households using the one bathroom. . But other than that excellent. Would highly recommend.

"Thank you we had a wonderful stay at Higher Whiddon Farm."
Becky and Chris were lovely, friendly and so helpful. The cottage was lovely, clean, well stocked and peaceful. We enjoyed watching the horses although I think Dobby the dog would have loved to play with them. The cottage made a great base and we enjoy been able to explore the area. Loved the walk from the cottage to Ashburton and even better finding some lovely places to eat. Thank you for a lovely stay I suspect we will be back

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
Becky and Chris were very welcoming and our children totally made themselves at home playing with their children and animals. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and was always nice and warm. A supply of logs meant we could also use the wood burner.
The beds were very comfortable even though the double was a little creaky each time you rolled over. It is lovely to see the beautiful horses out the window and I enjoyed a gin and tonic sitting in the garden of an evening watching them. We certainly felt very relaxed and at home and would love to return if we are in the area.

"Beautiful setting & a very charming cottage."
We really enjoyed our stay & our hosts, Chris & Becky, were lovely.
Plenty to do in the surrounding area. The walk from the cottage to Ashburton is well worth doing. Great for our dog as there is a separate pen for them to run around in if you don’t like your dog on a leash.
Salcombe, Brixham, Paignton & Torquay all within easy reach.
We felt we had everything we needed for our holiday base & loved seeing the horses everyday!

A really wonderful place to stay. The setting is beautiful and tranquil yet just a short drive to the coastal towns. To wake up everyday to see fantastic horses close by was an added bonus. We can’t wait to go back for another stay.

"Excellent holiday cottage."
The owners who live next door were really helpful.
However, in your narrative you should give better guidance as to how to find the place - Sat Nav does not really help because of all the unnamed roads.
The cottage is actually in the village of Sigford.
You also need to warn holiday-makers that the cottage is at the end of a very narrow, 2 mile, high-hedged, Typically-Devon country lane.
It was not a problem for me, but my wife kept her eyes closed all down the lane! (I was the one driving, I should say).
But great little holiday retreat.
The property is not located in Sigford Village, it is located in Ashburton Down, Ashburton. We do also provide the address details which brings you to the correct property.
The property is located 1 mile and not 2 miles from the main road. You drive off the A38, take the tarmaced slip road signposted Sigford, travel up the hill (approx. 1 mile) until you reach the driveway signposted Higher Whiddon Farm on the left. There has been no previous issues with guests driving to the property before. Property Owner

The cottage is delightful, cosy and quaint. The location is amazing, surrounded by beautiful south Devon countryside, relaxing yet perfectly positioned for exploring all that South Devon has to offer.
It’s a wonderful little gem and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Chris and Becky xx

"We loved staying at our comfortable cottage for our Devon holiday."
It had everything we needed - including a washing machine that wasn't on the listing! Whilst we enjoyed the peace and quiet of our location, the high-hedge single-track road in was a little nerve wracking to begin with, but we soon got used to it. Ideal for exploring the surrounding area.

"The cottage was in a beautiful location: a peaceful valley on the edge of Dartmoor."
It is a very short drive to the moor but also conveniently close to the main road network for visiting nearby coastal resorts. We particularly liked Shaldon with its ferry crossing to Teignmouth.
The owners were on site, attentive and interested without being ‘in our faces’.
The horses are magnificent.
The cottage is spacious, clean and well furnished.
I wholeheartedly recommend this cottage.

"I spent a peaceful and comfortable month at Higher Whiddon Farm, during an abnormally cold February to March."
Despite the bitterly cold spell, the house was always warm - the central heating easy to manage, and the wood burner very efficient and easy to use. There was a lovely light sitting room, a very comfortable upstairs bed, splendid views, and pleasant walks from the door (I had no car).
The owners live next door, and are friendly, relaxed and thoughtful. They also have two gorgeous small children whom I enjoyed meeting. Having the horses nearby is a great treat, and as a townie who knows nothing of horses, I enjoyed learning about them.
I'd certainly recommend the cottage to anyone - families, couples, or people on their own.
One thing worth mentioning is that if you're coming in winter, you need to bring wellies, especially for the footpath over to Ashburton.
The only negative for me was the lack of an upstairs toilet. It would be wonderful if they could find a way of fitting one in.
