Heidi
Northleigh was a beautiful house with all mod-cons. It was clean and well-kept with great decor. Katie, the owner had thought of everything, from a lovely welcome pack and toiletries, Wi-Fi and even games/books available. The hot tub just added to the house and made a special weekend even better. Would definitely recommend. Amazing house!
Tara
Wonderful house, appliances, comfortable beds, clean hot tube & lovely & respectful owners. The homemade fresh scones with jam & clotted cream plus fresh milk waiting for when we arrived was a perfect touch to the home. Thank you for the warm welcome of scones & having the hot tube on ready for our arrival.
Anita
A real gem lays behind the cobbled yard and green door. Our family of 5 adults and 7yr old had a fabulous holiday in this spacious and beautifully appointed house. A short walk from Chulmleigh's 2 pubs and shops (passing a lovely child's playground). Super comfy beds and lovely, large, private garden - perfect for an active child and great for even ing drinks around the fire pit. The hot tub was a favourite with everyone. Katie is a great host who does everything to make your stay perfect.
Debra

Absolutely beautiful house, lovely and peaceful. Lots of room for everyone and has everything you need. Lovely decor and surroundings. Tesco delivery arranged as shops are a good driveway, although local shop is pretty good and fresh eggs at the end of the lane. Hot tub was spot on and loved the spa bath too.

Just returned from a few days break at this beautiful property. Tastefully decorated and furnished with five star facilities. Fabulous location for both the countryside and coast.

Great stay; great place. Lovely holiday and owners could not have been more accommodating and helpful - including putting away a shopping pre-delivery. Have stayed in many over the decades. This is easily one of the best and being fussy, believe me I don't write this very often. Thanks for everything. Well done!

We had a fabulous stay at Northleigh, a fantastic property with a great garden for our lively pointer !
