“What a wonderful week we’ve had! The Hen House is spotlessly clean, perfectly equipped and brilliantly placed to explore beautiful South West Devon. Thank you for being such great hosts. The children have enjoyed farm life (especially seeing the baby calves, ducks, chickens, goats, cats and puppies!) We hope to be back soon!”

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.

Bit of miscommunication regarding coffee makers as id read the Nespresso machine was no longer at property, messaged Paul to ask & he said it wasn’t there so I said I’d bring my cafetière. When we arrived there were already 2 at the property. Bit of a walk into town ( especially on way back …

We had a wonderful stay in Thurlestone – a long weekend – Thurs to Monday and despite Storm Amy we had some good times on the beach and local farm park attractions. The home was wonderfully appointed and had everything we needed and even suitable toys for the 18 month old in our party!

The room was comfy, central to everything and was the perfect base for us to explore Dartmouth. The best way to start our day was going downstairs for breakfast in Cafe Alf Resco – delicious!! Thank you!!
