What our customers say about their holidays

  I spent a peaceful and comfortable month at Higher Whiddon Farm, during an abnormally cold February to March.

  Despite the bitterly cold spell, the house was always warm - the central heating easy to manage, and the wood burner very efficient and easy to use. There was a lovely light sitting room, a very comfortable upstairs bed, splendid views, and pleasant walks from the door (I had no car). The owners live next door, and are friendly, relaxed and thoughtful. They also have two gorgeous small children whom I enjoyed meeting. Having the horses nearby is a great treat, and as a townie who knows nothing of horses, I enjoyed learning about them. I'd certainly recommend the cottage to anyone - families, couples, or people on their own. One thing worth mentioning is that if you're coming in winter, you need to bring wellies, especially for the footpath over to Ashburton. The only negative for me was the lack of an upstairs toilet. It would be wonderful if they could find a way of fitting one in.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  Becky and Chris were very welcoming and our children totally made themselves at home playing with their children and animals. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and was always nice and warm. A supply of logs meant we could also use the wood burner. The beds were very comfortable even though the double was a little creaky each time you rolled over. It is lovely to see the beautiful horses out the window and I enjoyed a gin and tonic sitting in the garden of an evening watching them. We certainly felt very relaxed and at home and would love to return if we are in the area.

  Excellent holiday cottage.

  The owners who live next door were really helpful. However, in your narrative you should give better guidance as to how to find the place - Sat Nav does not really help because of all the unnamed roads. The cottage is actually in the village of Sigford. You also need to warn holiday-makers that the cottage is at the end of a very narrow, 2 mile, high-hedged, Typically-Devon country lane. It was not a problem for me, but my wife kept her eyes closed all down the lane! (I was the one driving, I should say). But great little holiday retreat.

  This is an immaculate little cottage in a beautiful location.

  Coastal places to visit were a pleasant 30 -45 minutes drive away, although you can drive to Dartmoor in just 5 -10 minutes, where you can find some lovely safe dog walks. Would recommend bringing initial supplies ie milk etc as on arrival there is no quick access to a shop. The owners are lovely people who you can see love their life with their horses and family pets. We were made to feel very welcome with our two dogs. All in all we had a fabulous holiday and this cottage was a perfect central place to stay in Devon.

  My Husband and I spent a long weekend at the cottage with our little pug and we all had a wonderful stay.

  Becky & Chris were both very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The attention to detail in the cottage was very high, plenty of cooking utensils etc in the kitchen, books and DVDs, even a box of games! We enjoyed some wonderful countryside walks during the day, as well as some highly recommended pub lunches! And spent some cosy nights all snuggled up by the log burner. We were all very sad to come home! Would highly recommend a stay!
