Little Silver Pheasant Reviews

Annalee

This was our second visit to The Little Silver House. We can honestly say that this is one very special place. The accommodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including amazing views and pure tranquility. Thank you Peter and Lisa.we are already planning to visit again later in the year.

Absolutely perfect for a really quiet getaway

Mr Noel

We had a perfect stay as the Little Pheasant was over and above our expectations. Friendly and welcoming host who was on hand even though we had no problems. Everything stated in the advert was as it said on the tin. A true touch of luxury. We found this place to be the ideal getaway for our romantic weekend, with the added bonus of sunny weather for the duration of our stay. We thoroughly recommend the Little Pheasant and intend to return.

Amazing place, has everything you need and more. The hot tub was a real treat, clean and hot! The pheasant is spacious and clean, decent shower and open fire. This place overall is a hidden gem of a stay. Perfect to relax, but close enough for some coastal walks!

Brilliant location. The app for the property with all the instructions was perfect. Hosts were very helpful and the welcome basket was just the icing on the cake

A truly luxurious remote staycation venue. Peter and Lisa are the greatest of hosts. I am definitely visiting again.

We could not be happier with our 3 night stay in the little silver pheasant, we felt we could relax from the minute we arrived. The pre arrival information was really helpful and the property was easy to find, the golf buggies made the stay even more fun and the arrival package was really thoughtful, the property was immaculate and had everything we needed. The hot tub was always ready and very private and luxurious. We cooked a few meals during the stay and the property was well equipped. The bed was really comfy with amazing views all around and very quiet. We would love to return again soon.

Sharon

Absolutely beautiful place to spend a weekend, the owners were extremely helpful, the accommodation was perfect and we were lovely and cosy in very cold weather. The welcome hamper was delightful especially the homemade bread and apple juice. It was amazing to sit in the hot tub with snow following around us and then relax with a lovely glass of wine, also from the hamper in front of the wood burner. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well, the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. We loved the little golf buggy to drive to and from the car park.

Tracey

Beautifully presented shepherds hut set in stunning grounds. Really enjoyed the welcome food hamper, especially the homemade bread. Thoroughly enjoyed soaking in the hot tub at the end of the day. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Peter & Lisa are fabulous hosts, email sent with information beforehand, welcomed us on arrival. App had all information from arrival to departure, How to work all equipment from Golf buggy, hot tub, coffee machine, stove. Brilliant! The views were fabulous and loved the privacy, off the hot tub, that was fantastic! Relaxing! Holiday and. Brilliant recommendations from pubstourist attractionswalksBeeches, sorry to leave, Enjoyed! It all, The huts are amazing! Welcome basket was fantastic! The hosts just keep going above and beyond expectations, Comfy and everything in them you need for a short stay away, beautifully done.

Robert

Wow! This is a little bit of paradise! Such a beautiful shepherds hut in a wonderful location. Everything was perfect from the welcome hamper to the superb hot tub and the fun golf buggy! We experienced every sort of weather but it made the holiday even more special, especially when it snowed! With the wood burner lit it was so cosy, though the under floor heating was enough in itself. The perfect place for some rest and relaxation but close enough to get to a range of amenities and coastal towns. Thank you Peter and Lisa for a wonderful stay!

Cheryl

We have had a truly fantastic, really comfortable and relaxing break in Little Silver Pheasant. Every single need was catered for and every inch of the accommodation had been used to maximise its storage etc. The underfloor heating provided great heat and we didnt need to use the log burner. We had one night of torrential rain but the roof is so well insulated, we couldnt hear it much at all. Hot tub was lovely and warm and immaculately clean. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to stay locally.

Caroline

Lovely, well equipped hut. Underfloor heating keeps it really warm, didn't need to light the wood burner one during our stay. Hot tub really spacious for two and private, however privacy is at the expense of the lovely view which is hidden behind the the laurel hedge when you are in the tub. If you want the view then book one of the other huts, they all look lovely, but for privacy book Little Silver Pheasant.

Louise

The hut was beautiful and had everything we needed and very cosy and warm. Wish the weather had been colder to allow us to have the log burner on. The hot tub was perfect and so warm. The bed was super comfortable. The views from the big are amazing.

This is a superb destination and we highly recommended. We stayed for a week and loved every minute. The facilities are excellent with no shortcuts taken on the finishes a real feather in the cap for the owners. Comfy bed, great shower, hot tub that we spent much time in and a superb little coffee machine. So much to see and do in the region as well. Do yourself a favour and book Little Silver Pheasant.

Patrick

Excellent, a gem in North Devon. Ideal for relaxing or exploring Devon.

Outstanding in every way, cannot be faulted.

Anthony

Lovely accommodation very well thoughtfully designed. The site was very clean with much space between the huts. Peter was very helpful with local knowledge

Joanna

Such a gorgeous place to stay. Facilities were outstanding. Hot tub well maintained. I never knew I needed a golf buggy on a holiday, but now I do. The accommodation is small, as expected in a shepherds hut, but due to being so well fitted, it was manageable. Views were so lovely. Quiet and relaxing, everything I wanted it to be.

Absolutely loved our stay it was so peaceful just loved hearing the bird's ... Absolutely loved our stay it was so peaceful just loved hearing the bird's singing throughout the day & hot tub was a great bonus

Scarlett

We had the most amazing 4 night stay. Everything was perfect, from the welcome basket, to the golf buggy and the hot tub! We had such a relaxing time from the moment we got there. The hosts were so welcoming even when we arrived very late in the evening, and they left us to it to relax, but were always on hand if we needed anything. The accommodation was perfect, beds really comfy, lovely hot shower and towels robes provided. The kitchen area had everything you needed, also a Nespresso coffee machine! We had such a lovely stay & would highly recommend.

Krystle

What a relaxing stay! We arrived about as stressed as we could be and left feeling fully serene. Loved the golf buggies to get around, that was a lot of fun. The shepherds hut had everything anyone could want, seriously the hosts thought of everything! Including a lovely welcome basket including eggs from their own chickens, lovely touch! The hot tub was the icing on the cake and we just wanted to spend all of our time in there. Thank you very much to the hosts, we couldn't have asked for a better couple of days away!

Frances

Loved our stay here, from the lovely double Shepard's hut to everything that went with it the lovely gift basket lots of lovely treats, wine, bread, honey, biscuits to enjoy with a brew to name but a few items that was in there. To the lovely decor, the views from the hot tub and the golf buggy to get you to and from the car park oh what fun. Will definitely recommend this lovely place.

Lovely hut with stunning views, perfect location and loved the hot tub. Will definitely be returning!

Phillip

A perfect retreat with everything you'll need to make your stay feel very relaxed and tranquil. The cabin was very well equipped, and had all the little details covered. Great use of space, making it very cosy. The hottub was wonderful to bubble away in, with beautiful surroundings to view. The cleanliness was immaculate and can't fault the owners for what they have provided. Will certainly be back, as time just seemed to go fast forward in a flash. Left relaxed taking some lovely memories. Thank you again for the stay, and looking forward to booking again.
