Donnella, Richard, Ellie, Granny Joan, Chloe, Maeve and Valentin. Doggies – Scout, Lexie and Skyla (Aug 2025)
“In the words of Strictly – FAB-U-LOUS. What a wonderful place – you have thought of everything. All the little touches and extras. Brilliant hosts – nothing was too much trouble. We love the part of this world – managed to visit Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Seaton Tramway, had some lovely dog walks.
Ate out at the Otter – great food (service a little slow!) and the Kings Arms – fab x we even had family come up from Helston to visit us. They loved it too. Thank you John & Kate, we will enjoy your gorgeous jams. We’ll be back xx”
The Fuller family & Seren the cockapoo (August 2025)
“Thank you so much for making this wonderful house available for others to enjoy and for letting it ou so perfectly. It’s been great to spend time with our family in this haven of tranquility in the gorgeous Devon countryside and to see in the flesh the fruits of your labours we have followed online since making our booking! We will recommend it and hopefully be back!”

Gary, Eve, Georgia, Jamie & Joan, plus Bracken, Freya and Clemie (July 2025)
“A wonderful week in this amazing cottage. Everything has clearly been carefully and thoroughly thought through. The homemade jams plus drinks and snacks in the games room are a great idea, as are the fans in the bedrooms. We have stayed in a lot of cottages and this is probably the best. A real credit to you both John and Kate! Oh and thanks for stopping to open the gate when we kept meeting you on the road :)”
Willmott / Habel / Jordan families and dogs!! (July 2025)
“We’ve had the most amazing time, spoilt with lovely weather too. We all love the house, garden and games room and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you John and Kate for all your hard work – it shows, and thank you for the generous hospitality. We hope to be able to return again x
(P.S. we watched the baby birds near outside table – very sweet!!)”
The Robinson Family (June 2025)
“Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday home, it’s been perfect for our family holiday. The cottage is probably the best we’ve ever stayed in – with every little touch thought of and we’ve wanted for nothing! Thank you Kate, John & friends for inviting us on your super mega long walk too. We’ve enjoyed working our way through your other recommended walks in the books; sitting with a coffee in the conservatory on a morning; dinner out on the patio or in the dining room on an evening and lazing in front of the TV in the lounge before bed! Oh and the games room has had much use from the family too! Thank you from the Robinson Family”
The Dawson family (June 2025)
“What an amazing holiday! From the lemon drizzle cake on arrival to the countless hours spent in the games room, we have had a phenomenal time. Thank you to John and Kate for making us feel so welcome and cared for – I have no doubt we’ll be back!”
Mick, Julie, Charlie, Katie, Ross, Nancy and Tommy – and Ralph the pup (May June 2025)
“Had such a lovely time in your stunning farmhouse. All the amazing little touches made it so perfect. The games room was a fantastic plus when we came back in late afternoon and little Tommy totally loved being able to see the animals in the surrounding fields. We wanted for nothing the whole stay and cannot recommend this beautiful house highly enough. Thank you so much.”
