The Hay Loft Devon Reviews

Annamaria

The cottage and the location was exactly what we needed. It was beautiful full of character and charm. We absolutely fell in love with it. The peace and the quiet was wonderful. We loved the beautiful rolling hills and the surrounding nature. The single file road leading to the cottage was daunting at first but actually it became quite an enjoyableRead more experience. Somehow in the space of a week being there we have not met one car coming opposite direction. Stunning nature and beautiful cottage. Hide

Annabel

We all had such a relaxing week. The accommodation was perfect and everything we needed.

John

Comfortable base to explore North Devon; the swimming pool, games room and walks for Dogs are fantastic amenities. Downsides were issues with water and WI-FI. Confident, resilient driver needed to cope with the private, hilltop, single track access, with long drop into the valley below; the main website "access statement" failed to warn the travellRead moreer of the dangers, so we only found out as we drove up in the dark. A little disappointed, with what could have been the perfect getaway. Hide
