We stayed a week and found ourselves well-placed for our needs - visits to Dartmoor and Exmoor, the north and south coasts and a couple of National Trust properties. Excellent meal at Frou-frou in Tiverton! Pond Cottage is a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day!Lovely hosts!

It was the most picturesque, homely place. We were made to feel so at home, when we arrived a log fire was already going, and we were a little later than expected so Renate unloaded our Morrisons food delivery for us which was so kind. The house was so clean, the gardens were so well kept the whole farm was just gorgeous and Renate gave us a tour too, as well as letting us roam freely - which we all loved especially my two children, 7years and 20months.. they loved being so free and feeding the geese, and exploring the gardens. We will definitely be returning. It was a perfect weekend.

Loveliest Hosts

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has a great location and you are also allowed to walk around the hosts' property, which is really extraordinary big. Hosts are very gracious and were also happy to show us around their farm and old house. The tour was very interesting and it was nice to talk to the hosts.

Beautiful place surrounded by nature

Me and my partner had a good stay at the Pond Cottage.The kitchen is extremely well equipped and stocked.Rooms are very tidy and homely feeling. Bathroom is clean and pleasant to use.We didn't explore the surroundings but the small animals around the farm were very pleasant to watch from the house. Being surrounded by nature really brings about peace of mind and heart.Enjoyed the stay tremendously. Thanks again!

A Lovely Stay In the Devon Countryside!

It is difficult to describe all the wonderful things about Pond Cottage. John and Renate treat you more like long missed family than lodgers. The grounds are beautiful in a way only a Devon farm can be. My children and I enjoyed the ducks, the sheep, and all the wonderful farm life. It forces you to slow down and enjoy the more important things in life. We will definitely be back!

Pond cottage

The cottage was stunning. 2 large en suite bedrooms with wonderful beams on the ceiling, a big kitchen/diner and a nice lounge. All this set on a working farm. John and Renata were wonderful hosts and very attentive to every query we had. John even let us help with installing additional posts to support his fantastic tree collection and he showed us a nest if blackbirds in his tractor!
