A large lovely house in a good location within easy reach of the A30. All the utensils and appliances you need and everything just about perfect. Plenty of space, comfy beds and everywhere spotlessly clean. We cannot find any negatives to say about the property. Would highly recommend and we would certainly return

Thanks to Mrs Heard, everything was most clean, comfortable and welcoming (for us and dogs!). The beds & sofas in particular were very comfortable and shower/bathroom/loos sparkling - we felt very safe from Covid.

Beautiful old farm house set in a peaceful location. Close to Okehampton for shopping but not too close. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Loved the open fire in the lounge. If you want to get away from it all then this is the place to go.

A large, spacious property in its own grounds, with parking alongside. Very warm in winter, with good central heating and log fire. We spent Christmas there with our extended family, and the space, facilities, kitchen and all fittings were ideal. We would like to return in the summer to explore around.
