Date of stay: 3rd January 2020
From the moment we arrived, Caroline welcomed us warmly and gave a quick tour. The cottage was super cosy with underfloor heating and we loved having slippers and robes - so handy for the hot tub! It was already heated and waiting for us, which was just what we needed after a long trip. Larkshayes really feels like a little slice of heaven.

Date of stay: 21st October 2019
Honestly, everything was spot on. We had a great stay and wouldnt hesitate to book again. The only thing that could improve is clearer directions-maybe a map or grid reference instead of just written instructions. Still, highly recommended!

A great spot for unwinding, really peaceful and super convenient too.

From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by Caroline, we knew we were in for a good stay. We stayed in Otter Cottage and honestly, it was spotlessly clean and felt really cosy. The owners have thought of pretty much everything - the kitchen was fully equipped, with a dishwasher and washing machine that proved to be super handy. We even found a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge, which was a lovely touch! The cottage also has two smart TVs with access to Netflix and other streaming services, which came in very handy since the weather was quite rainy most of the time. We loved relaxing in the hot tub - its much bigger than others weve been in before, so plenty of room for everyone. If I had to pick a tiny gripe, it would be that an ironing board wouldve been useful, but the welcome book mentioned you can request one, so no big deal. The location was a bit remote - in the middle of nowhere, really. On one hand, thats quite peaceful, but it did mean it took a while to get anywhere, especially since most roads are country lanes and quite narrow. Definitely need a sat nav to avoid getting lost! We spent some time at the nearby beaches, mostly pebble ones, which were lovely. Exeter was about 30-40 minutes away and made for a nice day trip. Now, Ive got to mention something that wasnt the owners fault at all - we encountered an absolute plague of crane flies, or daddy long legs, during our stay. It honestly felt like a biblical plague! Were pretty sure it had to do with breeding season and taking into account that we were on a working farm, there wasnt much we could do about it. We couldnt keep the windows or doors open much, which made the inside quite stuffy. They also seemed to be attracted to the hot tub when we were using it, which was a bit annoying. But again, this isnt a reflection on the owners or the cottage - just a natural hiccup. Overall, we had a lovely break and really enjoyed our time away. Would definitely recommend!
