Absolutely amazing stay. It's situated on a quite farm with very helpful hosts. We loved the decoration and furnishings inside the Nissen Hut. It was so warm and comfortable. The scones, prosecco and flowers on arrival were a lovely addition. Dawns scones are amazing as is the homemade jam too! Well equipped accommodation and Dawn was happy to help with questions we had. Once you get the hang of the hot tub it is such a relaxing addition to the holiday. Being close to South Molton was lovely to visit the local town and market. Would highly recommend to stay here for a holiday in North H Devon.

Excellent property, peaceful location, enjoyed our stay, hot tub was great. Owner very helpful
Janet
Impressive renovation of an old building ensuring all home comforts for a relaxing holiday on a friendly family farm. Garden fully enclosed for medium to large dogs but small dogs could squeeze in or out of a small part. This was not a problem for us as the owner quickly resolved it. The wood fired hot tub was well used and kindly lit in preparation for our arrival. It was greatly appreciated along with the fresh scones and Prosecco after a long drive! Lots of walks and National Trust properties to visit. A real gem of a property.

The Nissan Hut is finished to a high standard and was really well equipped. The location was lovely and quiet with the addition of the peacock and the pheasants. The owners left homemade scones, jam and cream which was a welcome touch on our first night.
