• "The property was easy to find and located very near a bus route to the town or further on to Exmouth."

  There was a pub close by but no shop so the bus was very useful. The property was in a very good condition with a modern kitchen which included everything we needed plus a welcome pack containing tea, coffee, biscuits, apple juice and milk. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to other couples.

  Perfect little cosy bolt hole for a relaxing couples break. Everything we needed. Peaceful location. Only a very short drive from everywhere we wanted to visit. Pub up the road is very welcoming with a lovely beer garden. Thanks Fran and Jim for a lovely stay and Alfie the very friendly and gorgeous dog for coming to say hello in the garden.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback, we're so pleased you had a nice stay here. You're welcome back any time and I'm sure Alfie would just love more fussing: ) Property Owner

• "Nice place in a quiet part of Devon."

  Clean and comfortable just missing a washer. Owners kept their distance which suited us.

  Thanks for your feedback and we're glad you had a nice stay here. As you can see from the size and layout of the kitchen we just wouldn't be able to fit a washing machine in, which is a shame but logistically it just can't be done, unfortunately. We hope this didn't spoil your stay too much. Property Owner

• "Farriers Retreat is an absolutely lovely place."

  Beautifully furnished and equipped. Little personal touches made it obvious a lot of care and attention has been given to creating a beautiful and practical space.The kitchen has everything needed to properly cook, the bedroom/sitting room is large and comfortable with access to the garden - perfect for my two dogs. It's the perfect combination of peaceful location and easily accessible walks and local beauty spots. Plus close enough to M5/A30 it's worth the extra few miles to find this tranquil little oasis. Lovely also to meet the owners who were so friendly and helpful.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback, it's good to know that the work we put into the design of Farriers is appreciated. It was nice to meet you and your 2 dogs and we're really pleased you had a nice stay and managed to get out and about (and you were fortunate with the weather). We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

• "Farriers Retreat is a lovely place to stay."

  It has everything you need for your stay. Beautiful and clean. Jim and Fran were lovely hosts even though we were not around very much to see them. Lovely walks on the doorstep. If we need a place to rest our heads when down to stay we will certainly see if Farriers Retreat is available. Lottie and Pippa were sorry not to see Alfie a lot more.

  Thanks for the feedback and, of course you're welcome back any time. It was a shame we didn't get to know you more, maybe next time. Glad you had a lovely stay In our little corner of East Devon. Property Owner

• "Had a fabulous stay at farriers retreat."

  Was everything we wanted and more. Set in a lovely location and the cottage had everything we wanted. Only thing i would say is that it's not really suitable if you've got a reactive dog like we had as the garden is shared with the owners who have their own gorgeous dog. Apart from that, was just perfect. We'll definitely be back but without the dog.

  Thanks for the feedback and we understand your comments about your dog. We did try to keep our dog in when yours was out. We put the fence along the edge of the Farrier Retreat garden to make it more enclosed for owners dogs (so there is a private enclosed garden for guests to use), but as a picket style fence it's hard to stop Alfie looking through when he goes into our garden. Of course, you'd be more than welcome back any time. Property Owner

  Parking was easy just opposite Farriers Retreat. I had thought from the information that it would be more difficult than it was. Only downside for us was that the bed was hard - it's a solid top divan, but that's personal and I do have a very sensitive back!

  Thanks for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Such a shame about the bed being a bit hard for you but we hope it didn't spoil your holiday here. Property Owner

  The studio apartment had everything we expected and was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We really loved the owners Fran and Jim, who were lovely to chat too and very helpful in where to go and what to do, especially with dog walking. Their dog Alfie got on well with our dogs too. We had our own private garen but you can use their whole garden too, which was just lovely to walk around in. We would definitely recommend this place for a nice chilled holiday.
