Amber
We had a wonderful week at Tangled Bank last week with our (almost 3 year old) daughter and our dog. Zoe and Steve were both very welcoming and made us feel right at home on their farm. We loved being able to hang out with the animals and enjoyed the play barn on the rainy days. Our daughter loved feeding the Alpacas too! Winnie even gave a 5 star Read morerating of the dog bed which she preferred to her own one at home We will be recommending Tangled farm to our family and friends. Thank you again Hide
Kathryn
We had a lovely stay at Venn Farm. Very child and dog friendly. A rainy stay but the play barn meant our toddler was well entertained. When the rain cleared and the rainbows set in we enjoyed the outdoor play area and all the farm animals. We booked an alpaca walk, owners v patient with my little girl - she was nervous but walked and fed the friendRead morely alpacas! Everyday since she has talked about the experience which is lovely! Recommend honey farm for family / dog friendly experience nearby. Hide
Shirley
Cottage was lovely & decorated to very good standard with lovely little additions Owners very nice , welcoming, & available if required Very peaceful location & not too far from Bideford & Torrington to mention a few The leaving gift was a lovely surprise Would certainly recommend
Edward
W really enjoyed our stay at buzzard cottage, the location is very rural and the nearest pub is about 2 miles away and is excellent. The hosts Zoe and Steve were attentive and professional. The little gifts were much appreciated. The chickens seemed to make Archie our dog nervous, but he was on his best behaviour. The Alpacas were friendly and my w ife wanted to bring one home.
Angela
Had a wonderful welcome from our hosts Ze & Steve, we were shown to our cottage which was lovely. There wasn't anything we needed on our stay everything was thought of to use around the cottage. We had the most comfortable nights sleep the beds, duvets & pillows were extra comfy and towels were supersoft. Was lovely to be able to be seeing the anim als and see them everyday and the views from all around were amazing stretching for miles. Had a great stay. Thank you
Deborah
We all really enjoyed our stay here. The property was very comfortable and real y enjoyed feeding the horses, chickens and alpacas.
Ruth
Cosy, clean cottage on a small holding. Delightful free roaming chickens and a pair of alpacas. Owners very friendly and helpful. Lots of useful tourist information. The nearest pub is not really within walking distance. It is if you go across fields in a pair of wellies and a torch, but the alternative is a long walk on narrow and steep country ro ads with no path or verge. We found it easier to drive. That said the pub (The Grove) was worth it. Great food.
Patrizia
What a lovely place and wonderful, friendly owners! The cottage was pristine and comfortable, bright and airy and had everything necessary for my stay (a week). Peace and quiet on the farm in the countryside but near enough to a village which has all the amenities (supermarket, shops etc). I highly recommend staying here.
Dan
Loved our holiday here and we will definitely come again
