The Daffodil Shed

• "A lovely little stay in a very quiet setting."

  The Daffodil Shed is a comfy cosy stay. We would venture that it is an ideal place for walkers / hikers as there are plenty of walks in and around the area. However transport is needed to get to many other attractions etc. Although there is a rail connection at Bere Alston and really handy for getting about. We ventured into Plymouth on the train, well worth the trip. Very convenient for Dartmoor and slipping over the border into Cornwall.

• "The Daffodil Shed is a gem."

  Comfortable, peaceful wigh a delightful garden, full of birds. We nearly cancelled our stay as my brother unexpectedly died in April and we were unsure of funeral dates. However, his funeral was held a week before our due date to arrive. Staying was the best decision; so peaceful, gave me time to think and relax. Thank you for your warm welcome and the lovely touches in the Daffodil Shed .

  Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad the Daffodil Shed was a soothing time for you. Best wishes. Ruth Property Owner

• "Dear Ruth and Henry, thank you so much for a wonderful week we had in your beautiful little cottage."

  Such a cosy place with everything you could wish for. And all the little Extras were very much appreciated. And it was so nice to have little chats with Ruth and Henry who are such nice hosts. You can feel that they want the very best for their guests and nothing is too much. And the little garden is so beautiful and a great place just to sit and relax and enjoy nature. And not to forget Floss. The most friendly dog who greeted us with so much happiness every time we came back home. The week went by way too fast and we didn't want to leave. We even got more applejuice from their own trees for the ride back to Germany. It was delicious. So hopefully we can return. We can highly recommend this wonderful place. Thanks again Ruth, Henry and Floss. Chris and Monika, Cologne Germany

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. Hope the trip back to Cologne wasn’t too arduous. We certainly enjoyed having you here. Maybe see you again one day. Best wishes, Ruth, Henry and Floss Property Owner

• "Absolutely lovely property, everything you could need and a secluded, quiet little garden to enjoy it in."

  Hosts were so welcoming and helpful, everything was spotless and the little extras on arrival were very much appreciated after the journey there. Loads on the doorstep so even though we took our kayaks we didn’t get chance to go out in them there were so many other things to do/see! Thank you very much

• "My wife & I had a very enjoyable experience at the 'Daffodil Shed'."

  The owners have thought of everything from, labelling all the switches, providing loads of information about what to see in & around the area and even providing folding 'camping' chairs for use when you go out for the day! The lady looking after the property came & explained everything on our first day and was exceedingly helpful.

• "We had a lovely relaxing holiday at the Daffodil Shed and were welcomed warmly by the owners of the property who have provided a comfortable, well equipped and homely holiday let in such a quiet and peaceful area."

  There is lots of information provided about walks and places to visit locally and it is situated in an area rich in industrial history with plenty of walking available, some of it directly from the holiday let or some a short journey in the car to the surrounding villages. It is necessary to drive to Bere Alston to catch a bus or train if you are intending visiting Plymouth or Tavistock. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

• "We had a great week at the Daffodil Shed."

  We spent most days sight-seeing around Devon and Cornwall. The highlight of each day was to come back to the Daffodil Shed and sit outside on the patio with the fire pit and locally sourced cider. The Daffodil Shed is a real gem. It feels a lot bigger than it looks in the images so there is plenty of room for two. It is extremely well kitted out, and everything is of good quality. Ruth and Henry were great hosts, went the extra mile, and were always on hand if we needed anything. Thank you!

• "This is a lovely place to stay - a beautifully decorated cottage with everything one could need for a comfortable stay."

  It is located in a peaceful part of Devon somewhat off the main tourist trails, but a local train connnects you with Plymouth and villages such as Calstock - if you wish to visit NT Cotehele/ the village itself. There are lots of interesting local walks from your doorstep too - and plenty of interesting places to go to if you wish to explore. I highly recommend it :))

• "We were made very welcome on arrival with welcome pack in the cottage."

  Very friendly owners who maintained our privacy throughout the week but also offered any help with facilities or locations to visit should we request it. The cottage was really excellently equipped with every conceivable item, fresh and clean brand new decor. Nicely located in countryside with pleasant nearby evening walk to the week or short 2 mile drive to Here Ferrers where you can explore the ancient church, quay, 16th C pub, or leave the car FOC at the villagel railway station to catch a train to Tavistock or Plymouth to enjoy a traffic free excursion. I Would thoroughly recommend this cottage as either a nice place to unwind or also as a gateway location to explore nearby Dartmoor. A visit to Buckland Abbey and adjacent The Cottage Gardens is also an essential must do, located nearby.
