Ms Cook August 2020

“The Yoke is a newly converted barn that has all the facilities required for an relaxing holiday.”

The owners are very welcoming and easygoing. It was particularly important to me that my puppy was welcomed which the owners certainly did. They are a lovely, kind couple who take action immediately when their visitors have a question or need. I enjoyed my stay with them very much.

- Ms Cook, August 2020
Mrs James August 2020

“Everything was to a high standard.”

Very comfortable bed and sofa, very well converted barn. Mr and Mrs Bradley friendly and helpful. Only improvement I can think of, is to do with coming home there in the dark, as I did each evening: the light across the car park only came on once, so I was feeling my way which is a bit scary at 76! Also I think they should paint a white line on the first step down at the side of the cottage, it would be easy to miss it as it is.

Dr Wing August 2020

“Great property and great location.”

Really fantastic place to go!!

- Dr Wing, August 2020
Miss Springate July 2020

“A wonderful, cosy, comfortable place to stay that exceeded all expectations - almost don't want to leave a review so we can keep this a hidden gem for ourselves!”

It is situated in an idyllic, sleepy village, but is still only about 15 minutes away from Exeter itself. In the other direction are the moors, with most National Trust sites within half an hours' drive. Judith and Peter were delightful hosts and were incredibly accommodating given current circumstances. The cottage is clean, thoughtfully laid out and well-equipped with modern appliances. We were even lucky enough to have whole garden to ourselves which was beautifully sunny for both breakfast in the morning and drinks in the evening. Overall, an absolutely lovely week away - we didn't want to leave, and we certainly can't wait to return!

Mr Furber November 2019

“Wonderful little cottage.”

Comfy and perfect to relax but also very close to Exeter and very quick and easy to explore Devon

- Mr Furber, November 2019
Mr Durkan October 2019

“This place is set in idyllic quiet location but only 10 min away from Exeter city centre.”

For those who prefer Dartmoor or coastal views you are also short distance away. Cottage was spotless and very comfortable. Little courtyard garden was a sun trap - must be fantastic to sit there during the summer.

- Mr Durkan, October 2019
Mrs Lewis October 2019

“The accommodation was lovely, clean, well equipped and very comfortable.”

We wanted a quiet and peaceful break and that is exactly what we got. The outside space was lovely too, dog friendly and a lovely garden to sit in (weather permitted).There is plenty to do and see around Exeter if you wanted to explore. The owners were welcoming and friendly. We would book this accommodation again and we would use Sykes again Linda and Peter Lewis

- Mrs Lewis, October 2019
Mr Smith September 2019

“Super tranquil location for exploring the nearby villages in dartmoor”

- Mr Smith, September 2019
Mrs Curtis August 2019

“The owners were very welcoming, and also providing eggs, milk, and flowers.”

we enjoyed our stay very much, very peaceful and relaxing garden area. Something that was very special for our Springer Spaniel Ziggy was a dog duvet, that you could put over the settee for her to sleep on, a unique idea. We had fabulous weather, visited the coast Dawlish and Teignmouth and went on a superb walk on Dartmoor climbing up to the tors and down to the valleys, glorious far reaching views. We would definitely return, ideal for just a few days, or a week, lots of places to visit nearby, in this unspoilt area of Devon.

- Mrs Curtis, August 2019
Mr Carter August 2019

“Had a superb holiday at the Yoke.”

The hosts were friendly but not overpowering, the cottage well maintained and equipped. Locally lots to do, especially if you have NT membership, and the coast not far away, a great week away.

- Mr Carter, August 2019
Mr Smith June 2019

“We enjoyed everything!”

- Mr Smith, June 2019
Ms Spicer-hayes May 2019

“The Yoke was a gorgeous place to stay, so much so that we didn't want to leave.”

The garden was wonderful for our dog, she had a lovely time running round, & made friends with the dog staying next door. We went out during the day, but were always back in the afternoon to make the most of the garden table & chairs having coffee & watching all the birds that visit. The next time we go to that area of Devon we will hopefully be booking The Yoke again. Everything we needed was there, & the owners were really nice & friendly.

- Ms Spicer-hayes, May 2019
Mrs Redhead May 2019

“Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden.”

We really enjoyed our stay and the owners relaxed and helpfulness made it feel like home from home. Would highly recommend as it is close to many lovely areas with lots of walking and places to see.

- Mrs Redhead, May 2019
Mrs Parsons April 2019

Really lovely welcome. I would go back tomorrow .

- Mrs Parsons, April 2019

Judith was a very welcoming host

“It's just a nice place to stay, and the dogs loved it as well.”

- Mr Keltie, January 2019
Mr Hefford January 2019

“A very comfortable clean cottage with a very comfortable bed.”

The only thing I would say is if you have mobility problems the stairs are steep. The owners are delightful.

- Mr Hefford, January 2019
Mr Pascoe October 2018

“This is a lovely little cottage, perfect for a couple.”

A dog friendly farm and plenty of dog friendly pubs in the vicinity. The whole booking process was simplicity itself. We will certainly stay here again.

- Mr Pascoe, October 2018
Mrs Smith September 2018

I had a lovely holiday.

Mrs Smith July 2018

“Had a fabulous stay warm welcome from the hosts lovely family, very pet ...”

Had a fabulous stay warm welcome from the hosts lovely family, very pet friendly, barney our pooch loved it, fab garden he loved running around and all inclosed, so no worries of dogs getting out, my only concern was that the wall between the yoke and holiday accommodation joining the yoke was very thin, so it can be a bit noisy if there's a family staying with young children, apart from that the cottage was a very homely little retreat loved it

- Mrs Smith, July 2018
Mrs Ward June 2018

“Hosts were very welcoming and friendly.”

Cottage is much better equipped than we had anticipated - everything we could have asked for and more besides! Idyllic location, perfect for exploring the county!

- Mrs Ward, June 2018
Mr Wainwright June 2018

- Mr Jay, May 2018
Mrs Wood May 2018

“Lovely and quiet, garden peaceful and sun trap.”

Track to cottage is fine just a typical farm road but fine for all cars. Cottage lovely and clean, milk, tea,coffee and flowers left which was a lovely touch. Warm welcome from Judith. We will be back later this year. Highly recommend.

- Mrs Wood, May 2018
Mr Cole April 2018

“Lovely homely and comfortable accommodation on a working farm, spotlessly clean and well - equipped, conveniently situated between Tedburn and Pathfinder Villages.”

The owners are friendly and welcoming. There are two pubs in Tedburn and small convenience stores in both nearby villages. The Yoke is also ideal for two families travelling together with its adjoining door to the adjacent flat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Only concern was the state of the access track from the main road.

- Mr Cole, April 2018
Mr Rhodes February 2018

“Peaceful cottage in a great location.”

Exactly what I was looking for and met the specification on the website. Very handy for Dartmoor and for Exeter. A wonderful warm welcome from the owners which made me feel right at home.

The property

Tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty village of Tedburn St Mary is Great Huish Farm.

Approximately seven miles from the historic city of Exeter, this 40 acre sheep farm is just a short drive away from the north eastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park.

The original ploughman's quarters have been expertly converted from a 16th century long barn where the heavy horses were stabled to two superb, adjoining holiday homes.

The Yoke, the smaller of the two, retains much of the character of the original barn with ancient beams and sloping ceilings.

The living space is bright, airy and open plan, complete with wood burning stove and oak floors and encompasses a stylish kitchen area.

A winding staircase leads to the pretty bedroom which enjoys sweeping views across open fields.

Outside, guests have their own patio overlooking the lawned garden which is shared with its neighbour, The Furrow.
