Set 7.9 km from Sandy Park Rugby Stadium, Stunning home with magnificent views in East Devon offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. 19 km from Powderham Castle and 34 km from Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, the property provides a garden and a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is located 31 km from Newton Abbot Racecourse.

This lovely house is in a good position for local facilities, walks and places to visit. The house is beautifully furnished with some delightful additional touches, including artworks. Outside, there's plenty of romping ground for children, (and adults!) and inside the are books that cover a range of interests, plus various games to play in the evenings and on wet days. The beds are very comfortable, and the spacious master suite has a balcony with great views, which can also be seen from the kitchen and the outside seating area. The kitchen diner is a great family space with good quality appliances, and was a joy too cook and eat in. The lounge has a great tv and also includes an in-tune piano - such fun! There's also a small lounge next to the kitchen. It's a great place to stay and we have no hesitation in recommending it. The instructions for finding the property were very clear, but we approached from the opposite direction and the addition of a 'Greenfields' sign on the roadside would have been very helpful. Special thanks to Joanna for the little extras, and especially the welcome pack!

Beds were very comfortable and the place was clean and tidy with everything we needed in the kitchen for the meals we ate in while we stayed. Close to Exeter.

    This was self catering therefore breakfast not provided. The cottage was refurbished to a very good standard but, because of the layout it had a lot of stairs with the shower in the eaves of the cottage and sadly not suitable for a larger guest but well furnished.

    It is a fantastic location in the middle of nowhere. Peaceful and green. Hot tub was really cool as it was a wood burning one. Enclosed small garden where we could allow our dog off leash, which is a bonus. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of space. Beautiful swimming pool and sauna on top of that. Would certainly be recommending this to others and will be visiting again.

    A very cosy, idillic location to get away from the 21st century and London, only let down, in a very small part by Storm Kathleen. However sitting in the warmth of the cabin, with the view of the Devon hills, and watching the storm pass through was epic to watch. The cabin is a wonderful place to stay with everything you need. Want to go back in the summer months to enjoy having the doors open, to sit on the decking with a very cold glass of wine and enjoy a sunset .

    Stayed in one of the lodges, which was exactly what we expected - a quiet, spacious, standalone unit a short walk from the main hotel building. Clean, good furnishings, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms. Staff were friendly and welcoming, gave all the information we wanted for the spa area. Pool and saunas were as expected, a perfect break.

    Gorgeous little cabins very spacious for 4 people, we really enjoyed arriving and having the hot tub ready for us to jump straight into! Was nice to have a self catering venue as we could bring food/drinks and the fridges were big which helped! We went as a group of 18 colleagues, it was the perfect getaway. Enjoyed food in the bar one evening and used a separate space to hold a round up meeting. The hotel was very approachable and accommodating!
