Spent a week here with friends and families. First impression as we entered the house was wow! Loads of space for us all, log burner lit in the evenings, the lawn and grounds were lovely with occasional call of peacocks. Just needed another week or so to further explore Devon.

We recently stayed here for a week with friends and our children. It was a lovely place to stay! We played games in the garden and explored the grounds on the sunny days and on wet days it was lovely to relax and enjoy the huge living room and fire. The kids loved how big the house was for playing all kinds of games, and my husband managed to spend time drawing in the dining room as he loved the desk by the window. It was also a really good base for all the places we visited. Thanks for letting us stay in such a lovely place, I don't think there was a thing that wasn't thought of to make it enjoyable . We had a great time!

Lovely property and perfect for a holiday with several generations of the family. Everything was provided (towels, linen, plenty of cooking pots, crockery etc). Amazing gardens and grounds in a very peaceful location. Everyone agreed that we should like to return for another stay in the future.

We were completely blown away by the size and period detail of this property. Nine of us (of various ages, big and small) enjoyed a week in this wonderful house. Brilliantly equipped for self-catering, with comfy beds and nice linen/towels, we couldn’t have asked for more. Communication with the owner was outstanding and the generous welcome hamper a very thoughtful touch. We loved waking to the birdsong, and hearing the peacocks at night. Truly special. We hope to return. Thank you.

Spacious yet cosy period property - the perfect venue for our family get together - plenty of space for everyone, everything and more provided to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Amazing garden perfect for family outdoor games and beautiful woodland walks - we were so lucky the bluebells were in full bloom! Heather is an amazing host - she thought of everything and answered all our queries promptly - have to give her 11 out of 10 for communictaion and friendliness!! It was a special occasion for us and Heather made it even more special. We hope to be back one day. Mandy & Mark

We arrived at this lovely house and immediately felt at home. Nine of us in all, various ages. Heather had been in touch with us before we arrived and was also available by text during our stay. Heather sent a gift for the younger children and also left a hamper with some lovely produce and a bottle of champagne. We made use of the log fire in the sitting room the first day as it was raining. It was really easy to light. One son and his partner cooked for all of us, during our stay, and they found the Kitchen fully equipped for their needs. The BBQ also was put to good use. Buckfastleigh and Ashburton have very good shops selling fresh local produce. The garden is large and safe, plenty of room for playing Badminton, (not very well), but with enthusiasm. Bedrooms were large and we all slept well in the comfortable beds. There is an impressive library throughout the house. Everything from the Richard Feynman Lectures to the classics, travel books and books for the children. Out and about: We used the outdoor pools at Ashburton and Buckfastleigh, Horse Riding on Dartmoor for some of our party. Car rides to Paignton Zoo and Beach.Visit to Greenway, Totnes and much more. We would like to have spent more time in the house and gardens. Heather's personal touches shows how much she cares and wants you to enjoy her home. All in all a wonderful stay in a beautiful house.

From the moment we arrived we felt comfortable and at home. The house is so well equipped with lovely furnishings and exquisite stained glass windows and the whole ambience is warm and welcoming. Our border terrier loved the vast grounds, where peacocks roam freely and we enjoyed playing boules and croquet on the lawn. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed barbecues with our friends. The local pub does excellent meals and the pubs in Buckfastleigh are a short drive away. We took the train from Buckfastleigh to Totnes and were lucky to see a huge otter in the River Dart by the station. We have already recommended this property to several friends and know that they will not be disappointed.

We were family group of 10 ranging in age from 7 to 82.The house provided us with space both indoors and out for boisterous play and quiet times.It is very well-equipped for self-catering and keeping young and elderly entertained with games,books galore and outdoor space for cricket and archery.We loved the wildflower meadow and walks in the bluebell wood.
