This cottage did not disappoint, it is the best equipped and most homely place I think we have ever stayed in. You really relaxed straight away and with 4 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms you have plenty of space and you can always use the games room which was great when the weather wasn't that dry. Our hosts were lovely and made sure our stay was perfect. Lemon drizzle cake, wine and dogs snacks all waiting when we arrived which was a lovely touch. There was also plenty of cutlery, plates and mugs plus everything we needed to cook for 6 people and a baby. Chard is a lovely town that had everything you need during your stay and only 15 mins away.

A Perfect Cosy Getaway at Ley Farm Cottages, Devon 🏡🐾We had the most wonderful stay at Ley Farm Cottages in Devon and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough!The cottage was cosy, welcoming and full of lovely homely touches that made it feel like a real home away from home. It was spotlessly clean, incredibly dog-friendly and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were super comfy, and the lovely gardens were an added bonus.The location was perfect for exploring Devon, with beautiful walks, lovely pubs and plenty of nearby attractions all easily accessible. Even when the classic stormy British weather rolled in, we still found plenty to keep us entertained! The washing machine definitely came in handy after some soggy adventures. 🌧️The little welcome touches were so thoughtful, with bottles of wine, fresh milk, lemon cake, tea and coffee waiting for us on arrival. It was such a lovely way to start our stay. The owners were also fantastic — super attentive to our needs, with quick and helpful responses whenever we needed anything.A massive bonus was the EV charger at the cottage, which saved us so much time and meant we didn’t have to worry about finding charging points while we were out exploring.I can only imagine how magical this place must be at Christmas! The cottage has such a cosy, welcoming feel that it reminded me so much of The Holiday — the kind of place you could happily curl up in with a blanket, a hot chocolate and a Christmas film. 🎄✨We’ve had such a lovely stay and will absolutely be recommending Ley Farm Cottages to friends and family. We’re already looking forward to returning in the coming years!Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

This property is so deserving of 5 stars, I would give it more if I could. My family and I spent 4 nights at this wonderful place, we wish we'd of booked it for longer. The attention to detail is outstanding, no stone has been left unturned. The games room was amazing and we made use of it everyday. The scenery is wonderful and lovely places to visit close by. When we arrived there was beautiful homemade lemon drizzle cake, fresh milk, white and red wine, dog treats etc. We will definitely be returning in the future and we would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you John and Kate, our holiday was perfect 😊
