If you want to stay in a beautiful, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped home in the heart of the Devon countryside, with the most courteous and helpful host imaginable, then you want to stay here. The location is very rural, but with a couple of pubs and a National Trust property within walking distance. The house itself is only a few years old, so everything inside is sparkling clean and works perfectly, and someone put a lot of thought into furnishing the place (e.g. tasteful and co-ordinated colour schemes, beautiful soft furnishing fabrics, curtains and blinds that actually keep out light in the bedrooms, kitchen equipment and plates/cups/glasses that you might buy for your own home). There are some touches that you rarely find in rental properties, like a large supply of local maps, walking guides and leaflets, and some that I've never seen in any other rental - fresh flower arrangements in every room, little baskets of sweets in the bedrooms, a well-stocked pantry that works on the honour system, home-baked scones and cake from the host. It's like staying in a combination of your own holiday cottage and a luxury hotel, the best of both worlds.
