  I have just returned with my family after a weeks stay.

  We stayed in The Linney. It was very peaceful. The location I would describe as remote although only 5 miles from the nearest town. You are very much in the Devonshire farm country with tiny lanes and no street lighting. I loved that part of my stay. The cottage was great with all the amenities you would need for a self catering stay. The grounds on the farm are very picturesque. Simon and Sue were very accommodating and saw to any issues we had. It was lovely to turn up to fresh eggs and milk and home pressed apple juice. The site suggests that there is WiFi at the location. There is indeed a WiFi but virtually no connection to it. I could not connect all week in fact. I wasn't especially bothered as I went away to forget about that, but just know that if you are going, especially with kids that use WiFi then you may be disappointed. I would pre download stuff to their ipads before you go. Also I'm on O2 and there was virtually no phone signal there either until you got to the nearby town, but that's rural Devon for you. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Finally, the current photos do not do the cottages justice. They are better than the photos suggest. They are lovely and I would happily go back as a base for South Devon and Dorset, its fab.

  We had a really wonderful stay at this beautifully restored wagon.

  It was definitely a romantic and memorable experience. So quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of life. A great place to unwind. The owners Nicki and Ben have thought of everything. It was quite windy one night and the wagon hardly moved it is tied down so well. We saw a family of deer including a stunning stag in the field. Also a white owl sitting on one of the posts. I loved laying on the bed with the windows open watching the birds in the hedge. We spent a night round the fire pit. The sky was littered with stars having no light pollution there. We slept so well here. They had left us a welcome bottle of wine from their own vine yard which was superb. The wagon is well situated with Ottery St Mary, Sidmouth, Branscombe, Beer and the Beer caves all not far. There is a wonderful ARK pottery just down the road. I’m so glad we went there. Some wonderful pieces of pottery for sale at quite reasonable prices. I would definitely love to come back and stay here again. NOTE: I would just like to say if you’re not a fan of really tight long narrow roads. Avoid Fire Beacon Lane. We drove down it on our first day. After that we always went the Sidmouth Road way which is much better.

  This property is not a 4 person cottage.

  The main bedroom barely fits a double bed & you can hardly get to other side of bed. It is very pricey for what it is - compared with other properties we have stayed in. Bed was rock hard & we didn’t sleep well. The outside space is tiny which we could tell from photo however was not inviting at all & our poor old dog couldn’t even climb the huge dangerous steps to it. Parking was a nightmare. The facilities in the second bedroom consisted of a futon which looked small & getting to the top bed would only be possible for young child although steps pretty dangerous. Wardrobe could not hang dresses in as blocked off & contained a huge bag - rail in second bedroom was not attached to wall. The small burner on hob did not work. Lighting was terrible especially trying to cook. Needs better bulbs for sure & couldn’t get all the lounge lights to work. Bathroom was lovely, bright & spotless & kitchen clean & had everything we needed although no cupboard space for storing anything making it cluttered. Road was in extremely busy & very noisy. In summary very cute clean cottage but very tiny.

  This was an incredible stay.

  I was previously in the travel industry for 11 years and this by far is the best "glamping" experience that I have had. Just enough off the grid so that you can enjoy the quiet and complete privacy, but at least cellphone reception, if you want it. I spent a week here with my dog for some R&R and we were both very comfortable. Everything you could need was there and the hosts Ben & Nicki were lovely and I even bought some of their lovely Solaris wine. You can see that there is great attention to detail and I am still impressed with what they have created here. Great bed, enough space to unwind and cook and it is also lovely for dogs. Great location as you can get to the ocean (various options) by car in a short drive, and lovely farm shops (also various options) to buy some treats/snacks/meat/eggs etc., within walking distance and there was also a restaurant, lovely hikes and more shops in the village (about 5 min drive). I am already planning my return next year. Thanks Nicki & Ben :) Adéle xx

  We had a wonderful stay at Anne’s Pantry in Uplyme.

  It was very well located for daily visits down to Lyme Regis and the surrounding areas. The cottage was very comfortable, full of character and made very good use of the space available so as not to feel small or cramped at all. Our girls (10 and 5) enjoyed the split level second bedroom, the elder of whom particularly loving her elevated sleeping platform. It was nice to have a small garden at the rear to sit and enjoy the nice weather in. Overall, we had a lovely week in Uplyme. The only (very minor) negatives would be the parking situation. With no allocated spaces, there was no guarantee of a nearby space, which when loading/ unloading or coming back from a long day out, meant a slightly tricky walk alongside a fairly busy road with no pavements. Not a huge issue, but certainly something families with younger children should be aware of. As mentioned, these are not complaints at all, just observations- we really did have a fantastic time.
