Our return visit was as good as ever. Humans and dogs had the best week. Weather was better than expected, our visits into Exeter for shopping were easy and pleasant. The rest of our time was spent reading many of the books from an array of an exceptional choice for all kinds. Even a jigsaw was completed one evening.The bed was so comfortable. So much space for everyone, and thank you to Martin and Wendy for sharing this wonderful place with us. Cream tea on arrival was very welcoming. See you next year.

We have had THE best holiday at Little Millhayes. It really felt like a home away from home and was so cosy and comfortable. The house had everything you could need during your stay and it was lovely to stay somewhere where the dogs felt so welcome and included. Thank you for such a perfect holiday, we were very sad to leave.
