The Furrow in Devon receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and location, making it a well-loved cottage among guests. Many appreciate the thoughtful touches from the hosts, such as fresh flowers and eggs. The property is described as a peaceful base for exploring Devon, with a well-equipped and maintained interior, and a garden that is particularly enjoyed by dogs.
Guests consistently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as well-presented, clean, and comfortable. The attention to detail in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness is frequently commended.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity and accessibility to Dartmoor and South Devon. The proximity to Exeter, local pubs, and transport links makes it an ideal spot for exploring the county.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the cottage spacious and the beds very comfortable. The presence of a log burner and the cosy atmosphere contribute to the overall comfort of the stay.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the enclosed garden. However, some guests noted the absence of a usable log burner and outdoor furniture, and one mentioned outdated TV equipment, suggesting room for improvement.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with gestures like fresh flowers, eggs, and Prosecco. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
Tucked away on the outskirts of the pretty village of Tedburn St Mary is Great Huish Farm. Approximately seven miles from the historic city of Exeter, this 40 acre sheep farm is just a short drive away from the north eastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The original ploughman's quarters have been expertly converted from a 16th century long barn where the heavy horses were stabled, to two superb, adjoining holiday homes. The Furrow, the larger of the two, retains much of the character of the original barn with ancient beams and sloping ceilings. The living space is bright, airy and open plan, complete with wood burning stove and oak floors and encompasses a stylish kitchen area. A winding staircase leads to two bedrooms, one of which has glazed doors overlooking the pony field below. To the side of the property is a lovely secluded patio with garden furniture, this leads to a lawned garden, which is shared with its neighbour, The Yoke.
Tedburn St Mary is in inland Devon, 3 miles from the Dartmoor National Park and 7.5 miles from Exeter. The streets are lined with thatched cottages, pub and a shop. It hosts the Tedburn Fair every September, stone cottages, a 1930s Methodist church, a golf course and a farmers' market. Close by is Dartmoor National Park which has walking, pony trekking, golfing and villages. Exeter is within driving distance and boasts great architecture, theatre productions and shops, eateries and cinemas. Other attractions include Crealy Adverture Park, the beaches at Exmouth and Teignmouth and the National Trust properties of Castle Drogo, Killerton House and Lydford Gorge. Tedburn St Mary is a fabulous holiday destination.
