Malcolm

Perfect, enjoyed the week with my grandsons, they loved the animals and being hands on with the alpaca walk and feeding the chickens. A very peaceful place and the owners Steve and Zoe are very attentive and lovely.

Gareth

Absolutely loved our time at Tawny Cottage, it was very last minute but Zoe and Steve were the best hosts! Made us all feel very welcome. If youre after peace and quiet, relaxation and tranquility this is the place to go. The hot tub with a sunset just topped it off nicely. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Hasan

Great place to stay, great if you have kids with you as there is plenty to keep them entertained on site. Lovely hosts!!

Sarah

We had our best ever family holiday here. The location was beautiful and Steve and Zoe were outstanding. The cottage itself was clean and cosy, the view was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and everything had been thought of. It was absolutely lovely to be so close to all the animals and get as involved as we wanted to. Our kids were obsessed with feeding the chickens and the trampoline in the play barn. Definitely recommend walking the alpacas too. Thank you for some amazing memories.

Alastair

The cottage provided us with an excellent holiday. It was a lovely place to stay and we were well looked after by Zoe and Steve. The additional facilities in the barn were great for our children. They thoroughly enjoyed exploring the available games and it was very useful at the end of the day before or after our evening meal. We really enjoyed our time in Devon and would definitely stay at the cottage in the future.

Jessica

We would highly recommend this cottage for families looking for a fun week on a farm with lots to do in North Devon. Play barn for the kids to use was great. Walks both on and around the farm. Friendly owners who were happy to talk about their animals and local area. Great holiday.

Heather

A lovely cottage, very comfortable and well equipped and in a lovely location. We loved seeing the Alpacas and watching the newly hatched ducklings growing each day. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable and the Alpaca walk was great fun. Thank you

Angelina

What a wonderful time we all had we all loved the chicken and the alpaca's are so adorable. My grandchildren had so much fun play in the play barn helping feed the animals. Looking forward to returning next year.

Barry

Fantastic site. Lots of attention to detail. Very clean. Loads to do on site. Loved feeding the animals. Lots of space around the site. Table tennis and badminton court under cover. Loved the small enclosed garden for each cottage. Great well kept flower displays on site. Cottage itself was great, dog towels, bed, snacks, poop bags, bowl all provid ed. Dog field great idea.

Edward

We stayed in one of a lovely row of converted cottages. In the grounds of the farm there is a lot to do for our kids, particularly our 4 year old who played in the barn, playground and enjoying being around the animals. The owners are lovely. They were really helpful and on-hand if ever we needed anything. We recommend this cottage particularly if you have a young family.

Ian

We had a fantastic stay in Owl Cottage, a thoroughly relaxing week during the Easter holidays. Three teenagers had a great time, they loved being in the play barn and hanging out in the snug and were little kids again when feeding the alpacas. We all enjoyed swaying in the hammocks and were lucky enough to marvel at a stunning sunset whilst floatin g in the hot tub. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here, the cottage is lovely, cosy, comfy and clean with everything you need. Thank you Zoe & Steve
