Christine

We spent a great week 1017th Aug at The Hawthorns. You are quite literally in the Devonshire countryside with just the noise of the birds and animals, so relaxing. The cottage is one of the best holiday accommodations we've stayed in. Standardcleanliness were excellent. Six of us stayed of different age groups, 2 young ones, 2 middles plus us 2 oldies! Oh, and 1 dog. On arrival we were amazed by the chocolate cake, eggs and milk left for us. Also a basket with bits to get us started. We were all well catered for with the excellent facility of well equipped games barn, field for football and badminton. The hot tub and outside seating were our favourite, returning earlier than usual each day to use it. The whole cottage is beautifully furnished with no expense spared. The kitchendiner was well equipped and spacious. Bedrooms were all very comfortable with lots of storage space. Damon & Karen, our hosts are very friendly and welcoming with tips and information. All in all a great week and I could go on...... Missing the cottage with the peace and quiet already

We loved the cottage which had been thoughtfully renovated, decorated and furnished. It was spotlessly clean with plenty of storage space, a lovely fitted kitchen which was well stocked with utensils, crockery and glassware. The cake, eggs, milk and dog treats were a welcome gift on arrival. Damon was a great host, attending to hot tub everyday and advising on places to visit with our dog and to eat out.

Amanda

Lovely place, described exactly as listed. The owner kindly let us check out late at no additional cost. We will be back, thanks for having us.

Gabrielle

The Hawthorns is the most stunning place possible. The house was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished & has lovely owners. Very safe and secure for our pup, lots of space and gorgeous scenery to enjoy. We couldnt recommend enough. Will definitely be back!

Anthony

Absolutely perfect holiday home, in a stunning location and a perfect base for touring the beautiful Exmoor area.

We had a great week at Lambscombe thank you! Accommodation in The Hawthorns was spotless and luxurious with everything we could need and more. The site was well maintained and our dog loved racing around the fields. A fantastic place for a family ranging from 9 to 48 years old and would be perfect for an extended family gathering too. Highly recommended!

Everything was great from start to finish, our little one loved the games room and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.

Spotless property, home from home comforts. Alas customer service less so. Whilst on a short visit to Exeter Christmas Market my husband recieved an very alarming call from The owner who advised our dog was howling, didn't you read the TCs no dog is allowed to be left alone. We hadn't tbh, my husband advised we would curtail our visit and come straight back. No sign of Todd our spocker doing anything but laying on his bed. I'm absolutely

What can I say it was perfect. Very clean, extremely well equipped, beautiful welcome pack. The owners are on hand if needed and very friendly. Beds were comfortable . Lovely hot tub. The seperate games room was a bonus. We all fell in love with the cottage. Highly recommend staying here.

What a lovely property! Cosy, yet spacious. Beautifully decorated. Lovely private garden area where we were able to make the most of fabulous hot tub whilst admiring the view over the countryside. The games room was a real bonus for the boys, and we all appreciated the welcome package even the dog. A lovely base to explore the area

Perfect hosts and perfect property. Thank you to Damon and Karen ...Damon even went so far to give lucas his own private paddling pool during the heatwave and Karen introduced us to Betsy the tortoise. Nothing was too much hassle, perfect hosts. Loved the rolling devon hills, high quality fixtures and furnishings and beds very comfy I'm usually fussy about mattresses. Weber bbq lovely addition and welcomed during heatwave for bbq's. Lucas the dog loved his stay also. Hot tub held its temperature well. Gem of Devon...would book again.

We had a lovely time at the hawthorns, it is a beautiful cottage and had everything we needed for our stay for a week. The farm is very quiet and peaceful. We stayed as 2 adults and 4 children, who all loved the hot tub. We also took our dog so it was handy to have an enclosed front garden. Lovely view of the countryside from the cottage. Bonus was the chocolate cake that had been left for our arrival delicious thank you

Chantel

The whole family had a fantastic week at the Hawthorns. The accommodation was in a beautiful location with the most amazing views and was extremely clean. Owners made us feel so welcome and was a lovely gesture with arriving to a hamper with all essentials needed and a lovely chocolate treat. The hot tub was great too, very clean and whats needed at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend staying and will be going back in the future.

Amazing property was absolutely stunning, very clean in and out. Hot tub was great. The owner was very tentative, kept us informed of how the tub works and was very kind in allowing us to take some wood for the fire place at no cost, actuallydropped off the logs for us. Will definitely be returning, overall an amazing break.

We stayed on the May bank holiday weekend with my family , it was a fantastic experience . The place is really well equipped, we had a gorgeous weekend , my children loved the games barn and the hot tub also the breath taking views. When we arrive , there was fresh milk in the fridge and fresh eggs aswell as a fresh chocolate cake left for us to enjoy . We would definitely be looking at going back there and we highly recommend .
