The Nuthatch is a great little place to use as a base, virtually everything we needed, with a fantastic shaded garden that was dog safe and essential with the May heatwave we experienced. The location is surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, and a choice of places of interest to visit. A wide choice of options for meals and treats for us to indulge.

A superb property well done with nothing left out. Plenty of hot water, super shower, warm and comfy especially during our wet and windy holiday. Friendly hosts but not overpowering. Excellent.
