- Joanna (9/5): Lovely stay on the Tamara Coast to Coast Way. - Lovely spacious little house with super comfy beds and v well equipped.
We received a warm welcome as we arrived. Everything we could have wished for. Nothing!
- Paul (7/5): Adequate for a couple of nights. - I loved the location and the fact that we were left to do our own thing. It was a nice touch that we were left some milk and little cereals. Although the property was clean there were still a few spiders webs and leggy spiders to be found. I suppose we were on a farm though so that can be forgiven. I hated the fact that there are no doors - the beds are separated off by curtains so absolutely no privacy when you have a daughter on her phone to her boyfriend at all hours haha.

Very clean accommodation,had everything you could think of and more for self-catering.Was very comfortable and spacious enough.Great area to stay if you travel through the moors with a stunning view.Host were absolutely amazing from start to end,showed us around and let to pet all the animals on the farm.We even got a peacock egg to take home.

- Stewart (6/5): Hen House - I liked the decor and beautiful views
Breakfast cereals and milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival were very welcomed
Appreciated the later departure and earlier arrival - thank you
The cost . It's the prices for everything today you don't seem to get much nowadays . Alternatives in the area were almost double .
Perhaps local businesses are aware of university student intakes Sofa bed was uncomfortable to sit on
Shower was not very strong
Electric hob and not fitted kitchen or oven so unable to cook other than hob
Breakfast chairs were not very stable
Beautiful remote location, the lanes to the property were single roads and several times got stuck as drivers would not reverse and Limited passing places

- Russell (9/5): We were only there for one night as we were on our way to the port at Plymouth, but it was very comfortable although the - It was very spacious with everything you could want provided. It was also very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The shower wasn’t the best, and it would have been good to have a towel rail in the bathroom.
- Fiona (10/5): Super stay - Great layout, spacious living area.
Spending time with the goats was a real treat. Lovely view of the Tamar bridge. Beautifully clean with charming decor. Kitchen and bathroom very nicely done with sparkly splashbacks.

- Steven (10/5): Brilliant and to see the kids taking all the sights and sounds in was magical - The property was warm and welcoming and set in the most beautiful location. The couple who hosted us couldn’t have done more to make us and the kids feel at home. We had an informal tour of the farm and were introduced to all the animals and birds and a newly born goat. The kids loved it and are asking when we are going back already. Nothing negative to say at all. Even if this property is a little further out from the area you might be looking at, consider it as it’s worth the extra few miles for the views, the animals and the peace and quiet
