We had an absolutely fantastic time and Penny was superb. Very kind, flexible and available. The house was a dream as were the grounds as an added bonus. Well worth a walk! Very much appreciated the added touches of luxury such as hand soaps, candles and items! The small things go a long way.

We had the best time at this beautiful cottage. It was stocked with everything we needed including lovely comfortable bed sheets and towels. The grounds were stunning and kept emaculate. The owner Liz was so inviting and truly look after us on our arrival and thereafter if we had any quieries on the local surroundings. Our dog was also made very welcome. I highly recommed staying here and won't hesitate in returning with my family or maybe next time with friends. We thank you for such a delightful experience. Claire and family :-)

We had a lovely long weekend at Hutchinghayes for a family birthday. The barn was beautifully decorated and well equipped, also having an excellent view over the lake on the stunning grounds. Sadly the weather left a bit to be desired but the barn was so cosy that we were happy to wait it out indoors next to the fire. The barn is well situated for exploring the Devon/Dorset border and we hope to visit again in the future.

Stunning house and location, with large and extensive gardens. The perfect place to relax and recharge, with easy access to the Devonshire coast for those wanting to explore. Liz was an excellent host, making us feel at ease, and giving us great insight into the surrounding area. Could not recommend highly enough.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Orchard Barn. It was very well equipped, clean, spacious and surrounded by beautiful house gardens in a wonderful location. We booked the house for a small family party and it proved perfect for this despite awful weather! The hosts provided two high-chairs for us and had also offered cots which we didn't require. I would happily recommend it for a weekend in the country.

Greg and Fiona made us very welcome and told us all about the area and where to go and what to do. The tea and mince pies went down a treat! This is a lovely place to stay. There is a wood burning stove in the dining / sitting area, which really adds to the homeliness of the place. It's warm and cosy, perfect after a days walking in the hills. The house is surrounded by fields and hedges and woodland, and really accessible on the A30 / A303 - easy to find. Close by you can walk up to the tumulus for an amazing view of the area. We stayed over Christmas, and walked over the Blackdown hills and drove down to the Jurassic coast for fossil hunting and wonderful cliff / coastal walks, stunning views across the bays, shimmering with the soft colours of winter. Honiton is a market town, with lots of interesting shops, proper butchers, bakers, grocers, a post office and supermarkets on the periphery. The house was very clean, with 2 bathrooms (one for mum and dad). The room in the roof is ideal for a large family, who can watch films on the TV screen, lying on the massive bean bags. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. And would recommend this to everyone.

Fiona welcomed us with a confirmation email, and there was a welcome tray of tea milk etc. They left us do our own thing from the well equiped house which was great and seemed to be on hand if were to need them. A very well located base near Honiton to explore Devon, both north and south. The house is in a rural location but is in a small farm business park so is not as remote as we expected, but the house itself is excellent.

Lovely place to stay in a lovely area, we really enjoyed ourselves. Fiona and Greg were very welcoming, and even gave us a great lunch recommendation for Lyme Regis (Hix). The place was spotless and grounds beautiful

What a lovely stay. Just one problem, we didn't stay for long enough. This is a great location for families and folks who enjoy beautiful English country walks and the seaside. I stayed with my wife and four children and the Barn was perfect. Greg, Fiona and family made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We will definitely be back as we never managed to find time to walk to the iron age fort or the magical wood.

We had a fabulous Christmas at orchard barn, the cottage was extremely spacious for 6 of us, and there was a very well equipped kitchen to cook our Christmas dinner. The walks were splendid and beaches not far away, sidmouth was 20 mins away and allows dogs in the winter months Fiona was fabulous and looked after us throughout our stay and giving us bits and bobs that we had forgotten! The under floor hearing made sure we were all toasty and the wood burner was very effective! Was a perfect get away we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

We booked the cottage because we were going to a wedding a Deer Park. The cottage was in a good location with only a short drive to the town's high street and the wedding venue. The owners were very helpful in providing local taxi numbers before we arrived as we were not from the area. The cottage was a nice size for 6 adults to stay in comfortably and they made the cottage very welcoming by leaving bread, milk and tea and coffee. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

This is an amazing location surrounded by beautiful countryside and views from the grounds. The barn is comfortable and well equipped and Gregg and Fiona kept us well informed and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I would recommend it highly.

Great communication prior to arrival. Lovely welcome when we arrived including greetings card, home made flapjacks and brownies. Di made sure we had the essentials in for breakfast, milk, ham, cheese, jam, croissants, bread, tea, coffee etc. Fab location for us, we wanted somewhere a little out of the main tourist areas that we quiet and relaxing, this was ideal for us. Very secure, welcome packprovided, leaflet info, maps of the area, restaurant suggestions and you can easily ask Di if you have a question. A home from home. Comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Thank you, we would definitely recommend this property to others.

Fantastic booking experience. Quick communication and instructions. The accommodation itself was perfect! Clean, practical and cosy. The space is great for a couple and allows you complete privacy and sense of security. Great arrange of breakfast supplies to get you started and even better.. a fresh batch of brownies when we arrived! :) Top tips: 1. You definitely need a car 2. Go for a meal at the Tucker's Arms nearby. Fantastic food and portion sizes!

My son (2yrs) and I, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We both felt very at home as it was cosy, warm and had everything we needed (and more!) We loved playing with Rosie the dog and seeing the lambs. Beautiful location and the cottage was easy to find and could come and go as and when through a secure electronic gate. Would love to stay again. Highly recommend!

Di and Dave were very welcoming and helpful hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - out all day and returning to a cozy set of rooms in the evening. Our young children lived the play loft and it was a comfortable place for us to watch a film later on in the evening too. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Mwendafye cottage! Check in was very straightforward and the hosts were flexible with our arrival time, as we arrived a little late due to traffic but this was not a problem. The flat was clean and very cosy - just right for two people. The bed was comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Di for the very tasty breakfast, chocolate cake and duck eggs. The cottage was within driving distance of the sea and lots of lovely walks - perfect for us! We had dinner at the local Tucker's arms pub on the Sunday and they did an excellent roast dinner.

We had a fantastic ten day stay at 'Mwendafye'. Di and Dave were great hosts, made us feel extremely welcome and were so accommodating of a small family with a new baby that we didn't really want to leave! I couldn't recommend this beautiful property enough - it was spotless and has been finished to a high standard. It is very well located, whether you just want to stay and explore very close by or head out around Devon/Dorset and further afield. Absolutely great!

Di was an absolutely fantastic host. Before even arriving, Di went out of her way to make our journey to the cottage as easy as possible, ensuring we had clear directions. Upon arrival at the beautiful cottage, we were greeted with a lovely surprise of home baked scones which left us with big smiles on our faces after a long drive. Di is very attentive to detail and made sure our breakfast provisions suited our dietary needs, which is very thoughtful and kind. The cottage is beautiful, and makes for a a very cosy and pretty escape! The cottage had everything (and more), that you could possibly need, and it was a lovely home away from home. I would certainly recommend Mwendafye Cosy cottage to anyone I can't praise Di's hospitality enough. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Although we met Di only on arrival we were made to feel very much at home. We had an excellent stay at 'Mwendafye', the cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped. The location is great, very quiet, but close to many attractions. The freshly baked scones and brownies were just the icing on the cake! We will without doubt be visiting again.

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely cottage. The views surrounding the cottage were beautiful. It was a great cottage to stay in while visiting many friends down in Devon. Even had some friends over for lunch with their babies which was great fun. The cottage is spacious and has everything you need. Sarah and Sheamus were very pleasant and helpful on arrival. We would definately stay again!

Lesley was a great host and made us feel very welcome. She gave us some nice suggestions to enjoy the region around. The cottage is lovely, and the room was nice and warm, with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious, especially the fruit salad. It's certainly a wonderful place to stay in Devon.

Lesley is very welcoming and it is a delightful cottage on a really peaceful country lane. Nice breakfast and we loved Ruby the dog and Rufus the cat

Lesley's home was very comfortable, she was very easy to deal with and we were made to feel very welcome.

Lesley was really great - a lovely welcome with a cup of tea and flapjack. So relaxed. A lovely cottage and room. Lesley has such a happy sunny disposition that made us both feel relaxed and happy in such a lovely environment. The room was great, and breakfast delicious.

Lesley was very welcoming and we had a great stay with her in a very attractive location. Will definitely come again when we go back to Devon.

The perfect stay - we were attending a wedding in the area and it was a convenient location and a comfortable room. Lesley was a more than perfect host - she even dropped us into Honiton a couple of times which was so helpful because we didn't have a car. I would say that it would be best to have a car if you are staying here as taxis can be hard to find. The breakfast was lovely and the house itself is so cute and homely. Ruby the dog was absolutely adorable and has such a good temperament. A lovely night away, we'll be sure to stay again if we're ever back in the area!

A lovely thatched cottage with lots of character. Quiet, clean and very cosy, with off road parking. The breakfast was good and our host was delightful. It suited our needs perfectly. Hope to visit again.

A lovely hostess and a lovely cottage.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Charlie's place was perfect for a 'retreat' and down a long a bumpy track - true - but a lovely stroll through beech trees each morning with dog, a lovwl quiet place to hide away, write, work, walk, meditate... This cottage had plenty of space to spread out. Beautifully and non fussily decorated, lovely colours, rugs, comfy beds, big white towels. Warm and cosy. There was a fire but didn't use it. Kitchen was good. Warm welcome by Ian who was nearby to help with anything. Charlie's response on this site or mobile was very fast.

Upon arrival, there had been left lovely scones and jam and clotted cream! Our stay was wonderful! Living area was particularly cosy, everything was clean and comfortable! The surrounding cottages were quiet and beautiful too, plenty of parking was brilliant. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at lavender cottage and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks again Charlie and Kirtsy! Hope to be back again!

The reservation was canceled 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Charlie was very good at communicating and we arrived with no problems. Lavender cottage was lovely but it needs some TLC. It was a Christmas break and they had a Christmas tree up which was nice. The kitchen was poorly stocked with no sieve, no cheese grater. When I asked they were provided. It could do with a DVD and some games , it was definitely more of a holiday let rather than a home from home. I have been used to home from home with Airbnb and paying £1079 for 5 nights inc of fees I was a little disappointed at the finishing touches. The towels were small and there was no hand towels and linen/duvets on beds were okay.. There was not enough kindling wood left for more than 3 nights. I am sure Charlie will remedy these things as he was very helpful and accommodating in the booking process. The location is lovely and the fireplace is great.

The house is absolutely beautiful. All creature comforts are provided for and Charlie is happy to go above nod beyond. Lounge and eating area are large and there us plenty of space to hang out around the wood burner. All in the picturesque setting of Dorset. Be ready for those country lanes and cosy pubs.

It is a lovely, charming cottage. Very cosy and comfortable. The three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and double beds were perfect for our group. The shared garden area is extremely pretty also. Make sure that you precisely follow Charlie's directions about how to reach the place. Charlie was very responsive. Whenever I had a question he replied very quickly.

A perfect "get away from it all" retreat. Lavender Cottage is peaceful and quaint. Charlie and Anne-Marie are wonderful hosts-friendly and welcoming they made us feel instantly at home. The surroundings are beautiful (bring your walking boots) and the Cottage is spacious yet cosy-a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the beautiful Devonshire countryside. Thank you for a fabulous weekend.

Lavender Cottage was a lovely venue for six friends to spend New Year. The open plan dining area and lounge was lovely and very warm and cosy despite the wind and rain outside. Anna (Charlie's housekeeper) lives on site and was very friendly and helpful to us.

This place is breathtaking. The grounds of the Barn are immaculately kept and the views are dreamy. We took full advantage of the luxurious bath, and the top notch shower room. Thank you kindly for the kitchen supplies, and the coffee was delicious! The only downer was that the check out time was 10am on a Sunday morning.

Amazing place, very peaceful, a real modern classic.

The barn is an absolute dream. I literally feel like i'm floating and only wish that I could have another week here. It is done beautifully and leaves you wanting for nothing. I will be back for sure and would highly recommend to others. Thanks for having me!

We had the most beautiful getaway at the barn. It was everything we hoped and more. The barn itself is so so stunning and everything was immaculate. The added touches of champagne, bread, eggs, robes and slippers all just made it even more special. We could have stayed forever!!! Will definitely be visiting again next year and maybe trying out your other places too! Thanks again, Lizzie and Andy

Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was excellent and Rebecca made us most welcome. The location is ideal, being in a quiet rural area but close to main routes for travelling to nearby tourist attractions, beaches or towns.

Rebecca's house is located in quiet spot of the main truck with lovely garden and views. House is spotless and Rebecca makes you feel welcome. We had a lovely stay and breakfast was very yummy. Would definitely book again in future.

lovely stay at Rebecca's.. very peaceful and private room, great breakfast and amazing location. we explored near by areas for walks, which was great. Rebecca is a great host, lots of good tips, we are very grateful.

Rebecca is the perfect host and was really accommodating when our plans changed. All communicate was prompt and really helpful. The space was perfect and included a separate private dining space making the place feel much more spacious than just a bedroom. The space has a private entrance which was really nice and a lovely shower room. The breakfasts were excellent with the choice of a cooked breakfast for a few pounds more. We'll stay here if in the area again.

Beautiful peaceful clean place- Rebecca was very communicative and answered all our questions. We had a great time. Loved the birds singing in the morning

Rebecca was extremely helpful from the moment we booked to the day that we left. The location is beautiful and serene, the rooms were spotless and there was nothing that we 'wanted' for. Rebecca provided everything and more. We were visiting the River Cottage Festival so this was the perfect location for our trip and the following day we took a drive visiting Seatown which is lovely and had a lovely walk along the Jurassic Coast which is a World Heritage Site. So for any keen ramblers or you just love the open countryside and a stroll this is the ideal place. We had a lovely lunch at the Anchor Inn which was welcomed and required after this stunning walk. We most certainly will be back.

I had a wonderful time staying at Rebecca's. She was very responsive in her communications and very helpful in recommending places to explore while I was there. Breakfast was provided each morning, more than I could ask for, and the annexe was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. You will need a car to get here but it is so peaceful and quiet, set amidst beautiful fields. Definitely recommend it!

We spent to days at Rebecca's lovely farm house exploring the gorgeous countryside. We highly recommend it! Everything was as seen in the pictures and spotlessly clean. The bathroom is brand new, the bed is comfortable and Rebecca is the perfect hostess. It's an easy drive down to the coast and we especially enjoyed visiting Sidmouth. The local village of Honiton is also lovely and has some very nice shops. Exeter and Taunton are not far either, making Rebecca's home a great base from which to explore NE Devon.

We did really enjoy our stay here away from the hustle and bustle of city life ... A very warm and kind couple who did make us feel at own home as soon as we arrived. This place is away from city/town and very close to the nature. Also Leonora did all that she can to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely stay again if we come around Honiton and recommend our friends !!!

Staying here was like visiting friends. We had some great conversations with Leonora and David. They are very lively and well travelled people who enjoy having guests in their house. The house is surrounded by a forest and a large garden, away from the road. It is very quiet and perfect for rest and relaxation. Our hosts offered a tasty breakfast with eggs from their own free range chickens. You will need your own vehicle to get to the house. It is away from towns and any services, so you'll need to drive to restaurants for meals. Also, there are no road signs, so finding the house can be a challenge. Just ask Leonora for details before you arrive.

Arriving at High Quantock was like being reunited with your best friends after a long separation. Leonora and David were genuinely delighted to see us and the warmth of their welcome was joyous to behold . Of course it may have been partly relief that we had managed to find them and arrived in one piece - the quarter mile of track and hairpin bend that leads to the final descent to their beautiful house was not for the faint-hearted! But boy was it worth it. Within minutes after the genuine hugs and handshakes we had a pot of tea, home made banana cake and a feeling of belonging that we had yet to earn. This is a tucked away little piece of Devon heaven - and we hadnt even seen the room yet! David, a botanist with a fascinating back story and Leonora have developed the house, built in the sixties by his father with several acres of beautiful shrubs plants and trees. When you finally get to your room (think annexe) it certainly helps to maintain the magic - all you could wish for in terms of facilities and extras - double aspect, lovely tasteful art and your own wet room and breakfast venue and several beautiful vases of flowers chosen from plentiful options on offer. The night we stayed at High Quantock there were shooting stars and comets on offer too and Leonora provided blankets to keep off the chill while we scanned the night skies. Breakfast was great and featured eggs laid by their on site hens and we then spent an enjoyable hour touring the grounds, learning about plants and bushes and generally enjoying a masterclass in matters botanical . All in all- Air b and b with warmth, comfort and style. As you can tell, we quite liked it!!

All-round fantastic experience. Everything we could want was provided for cheerfully, including excellent breakfasts. The house and surroundings were lovely too. More like staying with friends than a b&b. We hope to be able to stay here again some time.

We had a very warm welcome. Leonora and David are full of energy, a pleasure to talk to and lavished our three month old with attention. The house is uniquely beautiful. The self contained section has its own entrance hall, a comfy double bed in a bright room, a neat toilet and shower, and a sitting room. Big windows throughout give various views of the stunning gardens. We had all that we needed (kettle, coffee, Oreos!). The house is tastefully decorated, reflecting David and Leonara's wide travels and approachable personalities. And then there was the breakfast. A feast of champions! Great quality ingredients, lovingly dished up. In all, a great stop over if you want to break up a drive to Cornwall (which is what we did) or a wonderful base from which to explore the AONB in this magical part of Devon. We will come again and recommend it to others with gusto. Liam, Mélodie and Léon

Following a wonderfully warm welcome on our arrival by Leonora we enjoyed a superb and unique stay at this beautiful location. Our hosts made us feel more than welcome but also gave us space to enjoy our time here. We ate our fill at breakfast with lovely fresh eggs collected that day. We will definitely return to see the bluebells and daffodils in the spring.

Fantastic hosts! Leo and Dave made us feel so welcome. Space was great and plenty of it with own room, ensuite and lounge. Breakfasts were varied and delicious. The grounds were a beautiful ramble and looking outside from the breakfast table, we almost expected to see a fairy! Awesome!

A perfectly located slice of heaven with hosts to match! We went with high hopes and we were far from disappointed. The place was the perfect get away with views to last a life time. Our hosts were the most charming, energetic people. Every morning we received an excellent breakfast with fresh eggs from the garden chickens and we were given some excellent advice from Leo and David who helped us plan our day to day excursions. After just 2 days we left with our hearts full, feeling like we had been away for months on some kind of dream vacation. We are telling all our friends!!

A fantastic place to stay with kids. Highly recommended and we'll be booking again.

Stone Cottage was absolutely perfect. Great location, spotlessly clean and stylish. We received a really friendly welcome and Dan (and his wife) couldn't have been more helpful. I really felt they went above and beyond with tips of what to do, lending us a baby carrier and providing beach towels. Our children loved the toys too! We hope to come back again! Thank you.

Dan was a very friendly, welcoming and helpful host who gave us very clear instructions so we could easily find the cottage. The cottage was well equipped and the pictures did not do it justice and is perfect for a family with young children.

Lovely clean and modern cottage. Full height living space with mezzanine bedrooms makes it feel very light and airy, with a cosy lounge. Easy to use modern kitchen. We enjoyed using the log burner, Dan left clear instructions and it kept the cottage cosy even during a cold week in February. We enjoyed learning about the cottage being an eco home. Lovely powerful showers. Great for kids with ship themed bedroom and toys if required. Ideal location in a quiet position on a lane just behind the high street in Honiton so within walking distance of shops, cafes and restaurants and a good base to explore Devon. Dan is a helpful and friendly host. We would definitely stay at the cottage again.

If you want a beautifully designed building with a carefully curated interior, then Stone cottage is perfect for you. The cottage is immaculate, spacious and yet cosy. Our kids loved their cabin beds and playing in the snug. The showers were powerful and hot and having two bathrooms made getting everyone ready in the morning an easy (easier!) task. The cottage is one minute from the High Street - where we got a great breakfast at a cafe called Boston Tea Party. Dan and Abby could have been more helpful or accommodating. We will be booking again in the future.

This was our first Airbnb and we absolutely loved it. The cottage is beautifully stunning. Set just behind the main high street. There are plenty of bakery's, cafè's, shops along the main high street which is in walking distance. Our 2 young children loved their bedroom with their beds and all the toys they could play with. The cottage is so clean and easy to use. It's in a great location to get to different areas in Devon. We will definitely book to stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

The cottage was as beautiful and functional as the pictures showed. Ansolutly fabulous time spent here. Dan was a superb host accommodating us with everything we needed. Recommend to all

What a great find, beautiful space, highly recommended!

Nice place in surprisingly fun town. Comfy bed. Wendy kind and considerate. Surprised us with fresh fruit salad and talked about the news.

Conveniently located in Honiton and just off the A303, clean and comfortable. What Airbnb should be a bout.

Lovely host, cottage & location (short distance from Honiton railway station). Well worth the one night I stayed there. Thank- you Carol

Second time in Carol's lovely cottage! We had a workshop with Sheila Whittaker for gong practitioners and Carol's place it's just amazingly placed. We slept like babies for two nights in that quiet neighborhood. Carol was kind to give us a lift to the workshop place for both days so I can't be more happy and greatfull for our choice. Thank you!

Everything about the stay was fantastic. The host was friendly and chatty and made us feel very welcome. The room was clean and quiet, area was nice with free overnight parking, excellent breakfast, ... could not find a fault, highly recommended.

Carol's place is comfortable, friendly and reasonably priced

The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The property was just as Carol described. The bedroom was a very comfortable double and the cottage was located just seconds from Honiton high street, which had plenty of nice shop and eateries. Carol was a star! She made us feel very welcome, was incredibly flexible, prepared a great breakfast, made a lovely cuppa and shared lots of local knowledge. A great Airbnb experience all round.

we stayed here 2 nights and I can definitely say that we had an amazing time!! Pauline and her husband are lovely people who are genuinely interested in making sure you have a good time. I would love to have the opportunity to visit this place again in summer if possible.

The house is very cosy and comfortable with short walking distance (5-10 mins) from train station. Pauline is great host, very hospitable and helpful to the guests. Overall great experience and very satisfied

Really nice stay in Honiton, Pauline was very welcoming and the room was ideal. Parking right outside the house, which is a very short walk t to the high street and some good pubs and bars. Shame we couldn't stay for longer!
