“We enjoyed everything!”

Mr Smith, June 2019

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.

Perfectly located for trips, visits and activities.

Mr Rhodes, February 2019
“It's just a nice place to stay, and the dogs loved it as well.”

Mr Keltie, 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
“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.

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
“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!

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.

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

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.
