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.

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.

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.

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!

"Heaven in the Country"
Our visit to this VRBO was like stepping back in time. It was located in the English countryside on a beautifully maintained farm dating back to the 1500's. Everywhere you looked, gave you a sense of peace. The landscape, grand arboretum, the flowers, the occasional sounds of sheep off in the distance was glorious. Our accommodations were in a converted onetime stable, the interior beautifully crafted, with all the amenities one would need. The proprietors were gracious, kind and accommodating. We would highly recommend this location for a peaceful get away.

Half term family break
We all enjoyed our rural escape to Pond Cottage! John and Renate were friendly and welcoming to their beautiful farm. The boys were able to cuddle some baby goslings as soon as we arrived. We were given all the information we needed, and were free to explore. The cottage is equipped with everything you need, and is lovely inside. WI-FI is available. There is a private garden with a picnic bench in a sunny corner. The boys loved being surrounded by the animals, and feeding the ducks and geese. The swimming pool was also an added bonus, and very welcome in the sunny weather. Would definitely recommend a visit! Thank you.

A really lovely, peaceful retreat, with a couple of niggles
We were pleasantly surprised by the peaceful location, the amazing views of Devon landscape and the lovely owners, John and Renate.
On entering the property we saw that it’s bigger than it looks on pictures and was on the surface very clean. It had every piece of equipment you could imagine, especially the kitchen.
It was great to have a selection of DVDS and books, cleaning equipment, a lot of storage, underfloor heating and remote control blinds.
Sadly, the internet was not good enough to hold Zoom meetings but if you’re not working while staying at the cottage then you should be fine.
On closer inspection, harder to reach and places could use a deep clean- the corners, high beams in the bedrooms, high shelves and sills and cupboard tops were all extremely dusty and there were a lot of cobwebs, dead insects and spiders. A deep clean once a month should do it.
We loved the pool and it’s a shame the weather wasn’t better so we could use it more.
We had a really nice time and would love to return, but we’d love to see the washing machine replaced as it’s very rusty and has black mould inside so the clothes we washed smelt worse afterwards.
We’d also love to see the showers updated. They’re those electric showers from the 80s/90s which are either freezing or boiling with no in between. In order to find a temperature we could stand it took 15 minutes of fiddling with the dials, and next time we turned it on the settings were obsolete and we had to start the process again.

Dear Katie, thank you for taking the time to write your review, any feed-back is always appreciated.
I"m very happy that you enjoyed your stay, the area and surroundings.
With regard to your other comments, thank you for bring these issue to my attention. You will be pleased to know that since your stay I have installed a brand new washer-drier.
An electrician was also called to check the showers. He fully serviced both and declared them in good working order. They can take a bit of getting used to, so I apologise for any inconvenience caused. All other issues have also been taken care of.
I would be very happy to welcome you and your family back to the cottage anytime.
Best regards, Renate.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Renate Huckle
After many years working as a GP in South Devon—where we enjoyed boat building, sailing, renovating houses, and raising our four children—we felt drawn to a quieter, more rural way of life. After a long search, we discovered Bradford Barton, a beautifully unspoilt and secluded 15th-century farm set in the heart of Devon, perfectly positioned between Exmoor and Dartmoor along the Two Moors Way.
With its spacious farmhouse and a collection of characterful old barns, it felt like the perfect place to begin a new chapter—and we’ve never looked back. We truly enjoy welcoming guests and sharing this special place with others.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
The farm spans 150 acres of beautiful meadows, enclosed by traditional Devon hedgerows that provide a haven for wildlife. After lovingly restoring the farmhouse and cottage, we feel incredibly fortunate to call this special place home.
While no longer a working farm, the land remains rich and productive. We care for three established apple orchards, which supply our 250-year-old cider press—used each autumn to make fresh apple juice and traditional cider.
There are also three ancient deciduous woodlands, a stunning 10-acre arboretum with over 330 specimen trees (including rare varieties), and a recently planted 10-acre grove of 350 Giant Redwoods—remarkable trees known for their longevity and exceptional carbon capture.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
The cottage is spacious, solid, and wonderfully private, filled with natural light and enjoying beautiful views over the pond, vegetable garden, and surrounding fields. At night, the setting becomes truly magical—listen for owls and take in the clear, star-filled skies.
With its historic buildings and timeless atmosphere, many guests feel transported to a gentler, bygone era. You’re free to explore the arboretum, wander through the Giant Redwood grove, and roam the orchards and open fields at your leisure.
