  • "We loved our stay at Tawny, the views were amazing!"

    Amanda replied promptly to requests for more logs for the hot tub which we also enjoyed. We would return for a long weekend the accommodation was comfortable and clean.

  • "Tawny is a little haven of tranquility in the Devon countryside."

    Not off grid but remote enough to feel like it. It was home from home with nature at its best. Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. The host Amanda can't do enough for you. We would highly recommend a stay at Tawny to get away from it all.
