What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our first family glamping Holiday and although it was only for two nights but it truly was a wonderful experience, especially for the kids.

  The hosts, Nigel and Emma in particular, were both wonderful. Since this was our first such Holiday with kids, Nigel was very helpful over the phone to answer our queries prior to our trip and gave all the information that we required. Emma, once we reached was there to greet us and took us to our safari tent and explained what all we needed to do and where everything was. The toilet in the tent we were booked in was broken so we were moved into another safari tent and it was very clean, including the shower and toilet and everything was neatly laid out in the tent. Emma had also left us lovely fresh apple welcome drink and homemade lemon drizzle cake which was just scrumptious! Following morning we were shown around the farm, including milking of the cows and meeting the lovely grand parents who also help out on the farm too. This is a family run farm (three generation old), which is well looked after with all the family members helping out on the farm. In the tents there is no electricity, however, there is provision for hot water for both, shower and sink, via gas cylinder and solar panels. The tents do not have any fridge but a cooler box is provided and ice packs could be borrowed for free from their quaint little pantry where the guests can use the farm’s fridge & freezer to store any personal food items. In the pantry there is facility to charge all your gadgets and phones. On the all it was a great glamping experience and for us since this was our first time, 2 nights and 3 days, was just about good… however, the kids wanted to stay for one more day! Thank you so much Emma for hosting us and for the added bonus to give us some home grown lovely beet roots…

  We had a 2 night stay here after a camping trip and was greeted by the lovely owners who showed us round.

  Emma was brilliant with the children and directed them to the secret mud kitchen in the woods that was just beautiful. Theres lots for the children to do and play with. We were gifted some lemon cake and homemade juice which was absolutely yummy!!! The glamping tent was huge and comfortably slept all 5 of us whilst giving us lots of space within the main area of the tent. The cupboard bedroom was a real hit with my daughter. We had a hot tub which was super easy to get going (do this as soon as you can to be able to enjoy it as soon as you arrive). The grounds are just breathtaking as well as the peace and tranquility. We were offered to do the farm tour but my children decided to sleep in, so I embraced the opportunity to sit outside with a cuppa. The tent is so clean and tidy and felt like we were the first ones using it. The beds are really comfy and slept amazing.... we really wished we had stayed longer. Be prepared for absolute darkness at night, so an extra torch needs to be packed. We also took our gas stove for a quick brew in the morning rather than waiting for the stove to heat up which i would recommend taking.... also do remember to take slippers. We didn't do much exploring further out of the site as we were quite happy to explore the grounds and relax. We will definitely return if we are ever down south again. Thank you Aller Farm Camping x

  This was the first time we have used Discovery Holiday Homes and we wish to inform you of how impressed we have been with the service, and what a wonderful holiday home Hutchinghayes is. The house and separate cottage were perfect in every way. On arrival we were met by the friendly owner Liz, who immediately made us feel welcome. She lives on site in an adjoining conversion, her presence throughout the week was very discreet however. Both the house and cottage were beautifully furnished. The bed linen and towels were of high quality.The kitchen had everything a large family needed to cook and dine with. The enclosed patio behind the house was great for our dogs. The stunning lake was spectacular and the wildlife (ducks, fish & pet pigs) kept us amused. The elevated boat house was the perfect hideaway to relax and enjoy the environment. We loved our week together and Liz’s home could not have contributed more to the fantastic experience we had.

  We rented both the farm house and the barn at Hutchinghayes for a large family celebration. We could not have been happier. Both the properties were perfect in every detail and we all enjoyed the sun lounge in the main farm house as our party room. However, the most enjoyable aspect was the stunning garden. Although it was very chilly whilst we were there (early April), we were fortunate that it didn't rain so we spent so much time exploring the grounds, walking around the lakes, feeding the ducks and geese and the children were highly amused by the pot bellied pig. We had the most wonderful weekend and would not hesitate to recommend Hutchinghayes as the perfect place to catch up with family and friends and to enjoy the peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. I would also add that, as a family group, we have rented many holiday properties but Hutchinghayes has slotted in to our number one slot. We will definitely be back.

  We absolutely loved our 4 nights at Hutchinghayes. Location is stunning, the house and barn are both beautifully laid out and furnished. Everything you may need is on hand - dishwashers, washing machines, dryers etc. The huge Aga in the main kitchen was easy to use and provided a good assembly point for the family to gather and prepare the evening meals. Hutchinghayes is within easy reach of Honiton where there is an abundance of shops and supermarkets. We did 2 beach days - Sidmouth, which was very busy and quite distressing for the dogs and the more beautiful (and less busy) Branscombe beach which is in a beautiful location with great walks and a lovely beach - the drive into Branscombe is quite difficult with it being a 1 track road with limited passing points! Liz the owner and Hazel her housekeeper are fantastic hosts, always on hand to support if needed. We would highly recommend this property.
