We booked a stay with Nick because we wanted a relaxing stay to read, relax and go for walks. The accomodation was basic with a log burning fire, comfortable bed which, was enough for our requirements. The cabin was situated in a beautiful setting overlooking a pond . I would describe the cabin as Glamping as we used an eco friendly toilet and outside showers, which we were happy with. If getting away from it all for true relaxation in the outdoors it what you want I would highly recommend the cabin with its friendly goats.

We had an absolutely magical 3 days and nights in the cabin, cooking on an open fire, loved making friends with the goats and watching kingfishers, dragonflies, bats and butterflies. Nick was helpful and approachable, and even guided us into the woods and showed us where to find some incredible ancient trees and beautiful ruins. We definitely felt that we had our own space. The campsite feels really special; the cabin is perfectly formed and tastefully finished. The bed is comfortable and there are plenty of extra big and soft blankets. The stove heats the cabin extremely affectively and quickly. It was perfect. x

A very nice and peaceful campsite, perfect for a quiet weekend away in the country. The lodge is warm and cosy. The log burner and paraffin lamp add to feeling of escapism from the hustle and bustle of every day life in a beautiful lakeside setting. The amenities were good; the shower was hot and powerful and the lodge has a little kitchenette. Enjoyed meeting the lovely labrador Emma and the sassy 6 goats. Would recommend!

What a great host! Communication was quick and easy and we really felt like Nick went out of his way to accommodate us and our requests. The cabin was great - just what we wanted in experiencing a little bit of nature! The goats were great - so friendly and happy to interact. Will definitely be looking to book again and highly recommend this as a place to go if your looking to unwind!

If you're after somewhere beautiful, peaceful and secluded this place was perfect. Nick and Elaine were very helpful and laid back, we were left to our own devices but equally, given plenty of tips on where to go and what to see when we needed it. The cabin is beautiful and has everything you need. With the lake outside to wake up to, we were totally spoiled. There is also plenty of wildlife, including two kingfishers we could have watched for hours. Plenty of walking to be done and places to explore nearby. And if you're lucky, their lovely dog Emma will come along for the walk. Cannot recommend this place enough.

A lovely venue to relax, unwind and leave your troubles behind you. Nick is a very welcoming host with great tips, and has the cutes Pygmy Goats to keep you company. Well worth staying if you're in the area.

Lovely little getaway in proper countryside. Welcoming hosts, friendly pigme.goata(!) and nice little touches like books, board games and leaflets of local walks and activities. It is by an A-road but the glamping field is set way back and there doesn't seem to be much passing traffic at night so didn't disturb me. I loved that it is an off-grid set up (no electricity, compost loo) and there was a book on my shelf about self-sufficiency which has inspired me to put more effort into growing my own as a little step towards... I would recommend this site and hosts.

Nick an Elaine's cabin is truly a wonderful place! It's in a beautiful location and we loved taking the boat out on the little lake and watching the resident kingfisher! Nick, Elaine and Ema (as well as all their goats!) made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The cabin itself is really cosy and nicely decorated. All the candles at night make it an atmospheric and lovely calm space. You will probably need a car to get around but there are some brilliant places not very far away. (We drove to Saunton Sands beach and Barnstaple). It was a brilliant getaway for the weekend! Thanks again and hopefully we'll be back soon! :)

An amazing place. Lovely, clean modern house in a beautiful setting. The host were very friendly and happy to help with anything. Will definitely be back.

We arrived and the barn was as described- lovely decor and well thought through. There was a generous welcome pack which included a bottle of bubbly and Jonathan was very responsive to our needs. Lovely place in the most stunning country side. In addition the sun shone on the whole time we were there.

What an amazing place - barn conversion - it has the wow factor. We lived in style. Highly recommendable. The hosts are very attentive and helpful and made us feel at home straight away with s lovely welcome message basket. The bedrooms are downstairs and are beautifully decorated with stunning oak furniture. The bathrooms are shower rooms and better than ours at home. The open plan upstairs is just fantastic. We spent fun evenings cooking and then sitting at the huge oak table having dinner, playing games and watching TV. Loved the two extentable sofas. The kitchen is just lovely and well equipped. A huge garden with a great swing for the kids and beautiful garden table and chairs. Although it's on a working farm you would not have known. It's in the country side which was lovely away from the busy life of London. The gym facilities are a wonderful treat. We used the house as a base to explore the coast (in August) which was about 1hr + drive one way but there are some amazing places to have great country side walks too. The train station close by offers a +/- 4 hour commute to Paddington via Exeter. What a great find. Thank you!!

Kermit's Hideaway was a very last minute booking for Daddy and Daughter. The description and photos ticked all the boxes that would lead to a little adventure for the two of us. We booked it at 12 pm and arrived at 3 pm on the same day, communication was excellent and the pod was ready on our arrival. Greeted by Nick the owner and the very friendly and affectionate goats, we made our way down Nicks fields, where we found the lake and the pod. We were not disappointed, the pod provided two single beds, lots of storage and a means of escaping reality for a few days. The location provided a very peaceful place to relax and unwind with the lake right on your doorstep, it was refreshing to wake up and open the door and be faced with the lake from the canopy of the trees and Kermit's hideaway. Nick and his family are wonderful hosts, and there wasn't anything that was too much trouble for them. As the description suggests, Kermit's hideaway is off the grid and back to basics - almost, you can still get a very good phone signal should you need it, so you are not totally cut off. There is a Compost toilet within 20 yards of the pod which is surprisingly pleasant and smell free and a little further on up the field closer to the owner's home, a very clean and hot shower is provided as well as a sink for your utensil washing. We loved our short stay and the little adventure, which was made all the better by the surroundings and location.

Lovely place to stay to escape the hustle and bustle of every day life. Me and my son had an amazing time. Nick is a great host. We especially loved the goats.

Don't you dare let the lack of guest reviews discourage you from booking your sorely-needed emergency retreat to Nick's incredible lakeside sanctuary! Rather unfortunately, unscrupulous farmers have taken to offering characterless accommodation to unknowing guests to make a quick profit, especially in England. This green space, however, is a warmly welcomed exception to this terrible trend! Trust me, you will struggle to find a luxury campsite that will outshine this hidden gem. My best friend and I, the pioneer guests of this special cabin, spent two days at Nick's peaceful farm and we loved every moment of our experience. Beyond the sense of freedom and security that radiates from this location and the inquisitive warmth of Emma, Nicks playful puppy, and the six-goat-strong herd, our top two memories of this journey are the endless warmth of our private campfire (forever burning due to a generous supply of free firewood from Nick) and the half-a-dozen hours spent on Nicks personal lake in his rustic but rugged rowboat! Get out of the city, pack that old book you've been wanting to read for far too long yet always seem to avoid, maybe a good pair of headphones too, definitely a flask of tea or coffee, and row out into Nick's lake and feel the hours ease by effortlessly.

This place is a hidden gem. Nick welcomed us when we arrived and took us to the pod which was clean and ready. He also provided some barbecue pod and charcoal which we thought will use but ended up not. The pod is cozy and warm. We had great time staying for 2 days. Definitely will come back with friends and also recommend friends.

Very comfortable. Nick provided some logs so we could make a fire right next to the pond.

My girlfriend and I just spent 3 nights at the Pig Ark and loved every second. Nick let us push the beds together and it was surprisingly warm and cosy. The mini campsite is wonderfully peaceful and it was great to wake up with the view over the lake and the friendly goats wandering freely. Then in the evenings after a long day exploring we could cook up dinner over the fire. Shower was always hot and with good pressure and the compost toilet was clean and comfortable. Nick himself is a great guy. He gave us lots of advice about the local area and his own-brewed vegan organic beers were delicious. Please ask him if he has any left when you arrive. I really recommend it. The nearest pub is only a short walk along the river - check out their magnificent giant treehouse. We enjoyed our time so much we extended our stay. He also has a couple of other listings that you should be interested in. His cabin was very luxurious and the new lotus tent looks amazing. Good luck with the cafe and shop Nick. See you next time!

Fab short break at Kermit's Hideaway, Nick was so accommodating and a blast of the simple - but very comfortable - life was exactly what was needed to recharge fading batteries! Great setting, relaxed atnosphere and very friendly and helpful hosts :) Favourite thing?? Tough one; warm host? Cosy pod? Open fire by the lake? Peace and privacy?... Probably the gorgeous and amiable Pygmy goats to be honest! Such a lovely addition to our mini holiday! We will be back x

Lovely little spot to getaway from the hustle and bustle of touristy camp sites and busy roads. My son and I had a lovely break here - he was free to roam with the goats, row on the lake or build a fire and roast marshmallows whilst I could relax and read my book. We were close enough for day visits to Exeter, Barnstaple and Croyde but far enough away to have a quiet break. Nick was available to help with anything, friendly and happy to advise on the local area, provide wood for my son to burn or just to chat! The accommodation is basic but all that you need and the shower is amazing (apart from the goats knocking on the door!) I would recommend this place to anyone looking for peace and quiet and something a bit different. Thank you Nick

We were greeted with home made scones, jam and cream - very welcome after a nine hour drive. The host was not at all intrusive but always available to answer questions or provide advice. The location was excellently positioned for exploring the many sites and attractions in North Devon. An added bonus was that we visited during the Chumleigh Old Fair which was an excellent experience. Ford Barn has been well converted, is clean and modern, and an ideal size for our party of six (plus two dogs which were made to feel very welcome). Kitchen is well equipped, and the open plan design of the downstairs makes for a very social environment. very peaceful setting, with ducks, geese and horses strolling around to make it a truly authentic countryside experience. would fully recommend Ford Barn to other Air BnB users.

Had a great 4 night stay in Katherine's beautifully converted barn which we used as a base to visit the N.Devon beaches, Exeter and the Eden Project with our 8 & 6 year olds. Highly recommended.

Katherine was very helpful and a fantastic host! We toured England and Wales for 17 days and stayed in multiple places during our visit and our family agreed that Ford Barn was the best accommodation we had. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, clean, and had all the amenities we could've hoped for. Staying in Chulmleigh was very convenient to visit Dartmoor, Exmoor, and Cornwall. Being at Ford Barn for a few days gave us a chance to experience rural England at its best. We would highly recommend staying at Katherine's place if you are considering visiting Devon and Cornwall.

We had a lovely stay at Ford Barn. Katherine made us feel most welcome and let us know they were nearby should we need anything, but gave us the space to enjoy our stay without feeling watched. The barn itself was spotless clean, and beautifully furnished. The welcome pack went down very well, (bacon and eggs on local bread for New Years breakfast!) would happily stay again.

Ford Barn is a great place to stay. We had a family weekend there as one of our sons was getting married nearby. All the family loved the space. It was so warm and cosy with the wood burner. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms high-end and efficient. The living area and kitchen are very spacious and there was plenty of room for everyone. Katherine is very welcoming and provided us with great local produce for a lovely breakfast. The location is really deepest darkest Devon with lots of narrow lanes to drive, but this added to the adventure. There are geese and ducks roaming around the barn which are very entertaining.

We had a wonderful stay in this gorgeous barn conversion. Catherine was the perfect host ... very friendly yet non intrusive. She even showed my two young children her new hatchling ducks and we all got to hold them! The location is stunning. We fed the horses every morning and felt like we were the only ones on the farm! It's a short very scenic drive into chulmleigh - and about an hour drive from all the destinations on our list (lynton/lynmouth, port isaac, Woolacombe beach) The barn was very clean, very new, very comfortable. Would definitely stay again and will be recommending to friends and family. Thank you Catherine! If only all hosts could be like you!!!

Katherine was the consummate host, very quick to respond and incredibly welcoming and helpful whilst we were at her Barn. The Barn itself is fantastic, a really well done conversion with plenty of space and afforded some good solitude yet also close enough to the sights of mid Devon. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed with our two young daughters (6 & 4). The host and her family were lovely and always there if we needed anything. The barn is absolutely beautiful, it is new, well fitted out and very spacious. We had family come for dinner one night and there was plenty of room for everyone and they were very impressed by the space. The barn was a great place to rest after a busy day of touring, I highly recommend it! My girls loved their time here and loved exploring outside and watching the geese. We were all sad to leave!

Location-wise, this is the perfect gateway to North & South Devon, and Lakemoor is a place where the passion of the host really shines through. Believe the hype; Do walk on the grass, do feed the animals, do do what you normally would not. Very relaxing, thank you Nick. We'll see you soon.

Great place to relax and just get away from everything. Great host

Lovely, warm, cosy spacious home. Huge range of nearby supermarkets. The scenic views and being around nature is rejuvenating and relaxing. Quiet and peaceful.

What a beautiful location. We (a group of eight) came down to Devon to get away from it all, and had the perfect weekend. Josie made it all so easy, and we had everything we needed - fire pit, great views and a comfortable house. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful house surrounded by wonderful greenery.

Hillside is a magical spot. The house feels like it has been lifted from a fairytale and the wider areas is totally charming - beautiful countryside and gorgeous nearby village with everything we wanted - shops, cafe, pub, even a super-friendly golf-course. The house was wonderfully comfortable with everything we needed - great kitchen set-up, toys for the kids, lots of wonderful books, plenty of beautiful interiors touches and a fabulous garden. We were perfectly located to explore the Devon countryside and coastline. Josie was the perfect host, helping us with all our questions. We hope to come back again soon!

I went with my family. Varying from senior members and young children. The house offered facilities for all. My children loved it and the adults were taken with the views. The veranda was brilliant especially with the hanging chair .... the baby chick and the chickens were the icing on the cake!! It really made the young ones day ... the mother and chick. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone as it suits all. Group of friends or family. Will deffo return back!! Once again thank you Josie for fantastic time in your lovely home x

The house was great for our group which included young children. There were books and toys at the house for youngsters. The children loved running round and round the outside of the house, playing in the playhouse and relaxing on the hammock. We also loved the view, relaxing outside in the evening, toasting marshmallows on the fire and feeding the chickens.

Absolutely fantastic! The house is beautiful and very well furnished with 3 sofas in the lounge and loads of light. The underfloor heating is by room. The kitchen is perfect. The beds are very comfortable. I can't recommend this accommodation enough. Homemade scones with homemade cream and jam on arrival!!!! Thank you Alison

Very happy with the stay

We had a wonderful stay here - it's a great spot in the countryside, whilst being close enough to main roads that allow you to access places of interest within about 45 minutes. The barn itself is beautiful and has a well stocked kitchen. We also had access to the Garden Room, which is spacious and just walk across the courtyard from the main barn. The garden is lovely and provided a safe place for our dogs to run around in, and the orchard provided some additional space if they needed it. Alison was away when we arrived, but we were welcomed by Helen, who showed us around and helped with any enquiries. Both Helen and Alison were absolutely lovely and were on hand if we needed anything. This is a great place to go to unwind and explore North Devon. Thanks again for a locsly stay.

Highly recommended

We loved our stay in the stable. Alison and Andrew live in the farmhouse across the courtyard, and were generous hosts and very friendly. The description of the accommodation was spot on, spacious and very comfortable. A brilliant location to explore beautiful north Devon. We took two dogs in our small group, they too were made very welcome. We would very happily stay again and can easily recommend.

我们有一个非常可爱的住宿。艾莉森提前和我们的逗留期间是非常有益的。在抵达美味的蛋糕。我们已经下令一家超市送货,我们只是做了它之前到达,它是好心解开了我们。艾莉森的女儿帮忙解决了保姆了。这房子是精确描述 - 非常齐全,舒适。我们花了一周探索当地的海滩和景点 - 其中有很多。我们希望很快再回来。

艾莉森是一个奇妙的主机,没有什么是她太麻烦了。房子是美丽的,我们都彻底享受自己

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend, Alison and her family couldn't of been more welcoming. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Fish Cottage is wonderful! In a lovel secluded setting of a short row of cottages, Fish Cottage makes you feel instantly at home. It is actually significantly larger than would appear from the pictures and delightfully decorated with a combination of handsome antiques, comfy couches and chairs and really cool artwork ( Take the time to really look at them all). Check-in was a breeze with the key right where we were told it would be. Fiona, the caretaker was called for key instructions and to alert her about a crack found in one of the glass panals in the woodstove upon arrival. She was easy to reach. Some of the walls were stone and so beautiful, adding a truly rustic, but classy touch. The color schemes throughout the cottage give it a warm and welcoming feel. The long wooden dining table in the sunfilled back room was a morning coffee drinkers delight with the garden filled with birdsong right out the French doors and windows. A living room with a really comfortable couch, woodstove (Easy to use and well -stocked with kindling, logs and firestarters) and stereo draws you in and commands you sit by the firelight and sip wine in the evenings. There is also a study with an open fireplace, small couch, roll-top desk filled with information about the area and a guitar! The two bedrooms upstairs have lovely views of the garden and very comfortable beds with luxurious comforters. The kitchen has most anything you need and Fiona had provided a loaf of whole grain bread, fresh butter, cherry preserves and a bottle of wine. It was a nice welcome find after a long ride in from Gatwick. Ok, the down side of Fish Cottage......we didn't want to leave! Each day it was hard to walk out the door, but so comforting to know we would be returning to such a cozy, warm and happy home. It is very central to Exmoor and upper Dartmoor, so we did get a lot of touring/walking/geneology research done, but honestly we looked forward each night to sitting by the fire in that delightful cottage. Michael, you have done a wonderful job! Thank-you! Chris and Shannon

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Perfectly quiet, superb walking country and ideally placed for those who love the outdoors or countryside. Very special and unique!

Wahrscheinlich mein Lieblings Airbnb bisherigen Erfahrungen. Fisch Cottage ist ein schönes Refugium in einem schönen Ort. Das Interieur ist eine herrliche Sammlung von Möbeln, Bücher, Lampen, Teppiche und Bilder. Die abgelegene und sehr lange Garten ist ein perfekter Platz für Außen Faulenzen, hören Vögel und fangen einige Sonne. Darüber hinaus, die Mitte - Devon Landschaft bietet Waldwege, einfach Kontakt mit Stränden (wir gingen zu Instow) und hübschen Städten und Dörfern. Kontakt mit Michael per E-Mail und Lenice telefonisch war alles in Ordnung und wir schnell und ohne Probleme ließen sich in. Ich denke, dass wir innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Hause gefühlt, und danach war es einfach nur Spaß zu erkunden. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder, vielleicht im nächsten Jahr!

Gorgeous cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fresh bread, jam and cider were left out for our arrival which we thought was a lovely touch! Clear communication with Michael and the house manager Fiona prior to arrival and even though Fiona was away she left us two contact numbers should we need anything during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped, bed and sofas dead comfy and syylish decor throughout the cottage. Lovely garden which leads on to close by scenic walks and you're about a 30min drive to either Exmoor or Dartmoor. Highly recommended! We hope to return soon!

An utterly wonderful place; a true home from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay in such peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The cottage itself was perfect; a true getaway from city life in the heart of Devon. Whiling away the days in front of the fire was utterly magical. Michael was a wonderful host, with everything covered and a quick response to all of our queries. The fresh bread and milk on arrival was also much appreciated!! We very much look forward to visiting Fish Cottage again. A superb place that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tranquil stay in the heart of England. Thanks very much Michael!! Karl and Hugh

Hello Michael Well, that was a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage and such a very special part of North Devon - thank you. Here is a picture of my 10-inch trout - just before breakfast, as requested, and a live lobster (had to use your sink bowl to boil in water!) freshly caught from the fisherman at Ilfracombe as they emptied their boat, and finally your quintessential cottage garden. I did enjoy fishing your fabulous stretch of water for brownies and caught 2 parr! Again thank you. All in all, therefore your cottage served as the ideal recce retreat in the heart of such splendid fishing and rural countryside - with so very, very few cars! Also, for us, you have a vert deft touch with your interiors, and for me I loved the beautiful tone of your guitar - all very memorable.  That's it, and with much appreciation from all my family, and all your help over getting me a wonderful fishing taster. Best wishes and I hope to come back before long and touch base again. Mark and Liliane and family

What a great stay - a beautiful spot amongst the trees, with a lovely warm fire, bath and great kitchen facilities. We had some great walks around the area (albeit slightly muddy over NY), and spent several days playing board games in front of the fire. Just what we were looking for! Couldn't recommend it more. Thanks for all the tips on the local area, Michael.

Lovely cottage, just as described, in a beautiful and tranquil setting. Very much a home from home with some great individual touches. Super place for a relaxing holiday.

Pristine. Everything felt very new and professional. Like staying in a good hotel. Don't know how typical it is bit we didn't really see our hosts during our stay as the room has its own front door, sometimes that interaction is a nice reason to do air bnb and get good tips. Bed was a bit soft for our personal taste but was high quality. Lee also changed the usual duvet to one without feathers for me which was great. Overall great stay and good value. Would recommend.

A wonderfully quiet, spacious room close by the river and not far to drive into Barnstaple or Ilfracomb. Fantastic local knowledge by our host, Jane. Highly recommended!

The room is very spacious, very clean and comfortable and highly recommended. The location is amazingly quiet (the proximate Road is virtually unused at night). Jane is a terrific host and deserves lots of Guests who won't be disappointed

A lovely large space with own entrance. Flexible check in which was great as was travelling down some distance for a wedding. The room and bathroom were immaculate and Jane was extremely kind and helpful. A lovely place to stay if you are in that area.

Jackie was very welcoming when we arrived, and it was lovely to go in the cottage and find cake, bread, flowers and some milk and juice, the extra touch was really nice, we were very busy during our stay and did not see Jackie, but she did text to check everything was fine, which was nice, loved the area and it's a good central point for visiting Devon and Cornwall.

Dies war ein perfekter Aufenthalt in einem schönen und sehr geräumige Ferienhaus. Wir bekamen ein herzliches Willkommen gegeben und es sehr genossen die freundliche Atmosphäre auf dem Bauernhof.

The cottage is beautiful and very well kept. It's cosy but spacious with stunning views across the hills. It's a great base from which to explore Devon. Jackie and Nigel were very kind and explained everything we needed to know when we arrived, then left us to it. They even got the fire started before we arrived! Highly recommended.

The cottage is as described - beautiful with stunning views. Jackie was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. We had a great time here and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

This was a very lovely and a peaceful place to stay. Beautiful location, clean and a cosy house. Jackie was also very helpful and friendly! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay! Highly recommended! - Riina, Marie, Toyah

Sehr freundliche und großzügige Gastgeber, traumhafte Lage, mitten in der Natur, alles war bestens. Es war besonders schön, am Kaminfeuer zu sitzen.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Jackie was a wonderful host, recommending local pubs etc. and we had everything we needed in the cottage. I really couldn't recommend this property more. I hope we can visit again - thank you Jackie!

WOW... this place is fantastic. James and Sarah have done a first class job in refurbishing this lovely barn conversion. Absolutely no expense has been spared on the furnishings, fittings and equipment provided in the accommodation; you literally have everything you would need for a long stay including washing machine, dishwasher, ironing etc and they even provide the detergent too! Sarah and James have gone way beyond what you would expect and anyone staying here would absolutely love it! We were a party of 5 including a 15, 13 and 12 year old and there was more than enough room and the layout is great for families. I would highly recommend this property and wish them both success for the future. Thank you both again!!

The cottage was so much more than we expected! Set on a quiet lane on the way out of the village we found the cottage peaceful and relaxing. Checking in was easy and the cottage had all the amenities we could have wanted. The living area and bedrooms were cosy and just perfect, and the whole cottage was impeccably clean. 5*, can't wait to come again!

Linhay was our first Airbnb stay and we were thrilled when we checked in. It worked well for us, as we know the area well. It's a very relaxing space, with WiFi for teens and an enclosed garden for a dog. It's so homely, welcoming, fresh and clean. It is a super mix of authentic character and modern comfort. Thanks James and Sarah

This is a cosy little caravan which has been carefully furnished in order to create a lovely place to stay. The setting is beautiful and the views from the outside seating area cannot be beaten. Our hosts were incredibly considerate and couldn't have done more to make us feel at home. We really couldn't have asked for anything more from them.

We had a great weekend at Ruby's. Jon is a great host and was most helpful & friendly. The caravan has loads of privacy in the beautiful countryside. Lovely and peaceful, the perfect getaway from the city. We cycled there, do your research as it is quite hilly. A throughly enjoyable experience & would go again!

This was my first Airbnb adventure and I can honestly say that I have now been spoilt for future holidays. Right from the start I fell in love with Ruby and her idyllic setting within a sweet little orchard in the lovely Taw Valley. She is generously equipped with all the essentials plus there's also a little BBQ and fire pit to 'have a go at'. Jon, the host, was just brilliant in an unobtrusive way and I bought steaks from his cows and salad from his veg garden which were all delicious! His lovely dogs took me on wonderful walks through the forest. I really did not want to leave.... I stayed for 8 nights, their longest ever and I could have stayed a further 8! There is so much to see and do in this lovely area of North Devon but it's also great just to kick back and do nothing but admire the beautiful setting, and Ruby, of course! I WILL be back!

Great host. Great accommodation. Great landscape. Jon provided a warm welcome and everything we needed - including emergency corkscrew! Ruby is beautifully furnished and lovingly decorated which made it into a home from home - everything had been thought of. Breakfast in the orchard was sublime - with eggs from the hens next door. Would highly recommend the Red Lion in Chumleigh for a good meal, but it was also a delight cooking in Ruby. Having a fire in the fire pit and watching the Milky Way is a must! We also enjoyed walking through the wood and farmland valleys locally.

We stayed in Ruby for four nights. Ruby is ideally located in a beautiful orchard in a secluded valley with walks straight out of your front door. Jon did everything he could to make us welcome and was available should we need him. Lots of visiting birds, hooting of owls at night and Milky Way clear across the sky. Ruby has all the facilities you need for an excellent glamping experience.

Jon sent excellent instructions about where to find him and Ruby. He showed us around and how to use everything and was very welcoming. Ruby was lovely, I can't praise her enough, she had everything we needed, a small fridge, gas cooker with 2 rings, an oven (though we didn't use it), two reasonably comfy single beds (which could convert to a double), a bbq and fire pit. The toilet and shower were a short walk away across the lane, not a problem. The setting in the orchard was so peaceful, would like to come back in the spring when all the trees are in blossom. This really is the most peaceful place to stay if you want a complete getaway from it all - lovely.

It is wonderfully refreshing to find a place to stay that is unique and affordable! We loved the caravan which has been beautifully furnished, it's location in the orchard made it feel secluded yet accessible. A delightful place!

My husband and I spent two nights at the Caravan, Ruby, it was really a wonderful stay! The caravan's location in the mini apple orchard is really beautiful, the surroundings are super quiet, and its really good for walks. Jon has been very welcoming and helpful, and we had a nice barbecue & campfire in the evenings. I would stay longer a next time!

Staying in Ruby was a delight. I'm old enough to remember caravans such as Ruby the first time round, so it was a bit of a trip down memory lane and family caravan holidays. Simple accommodation, peaceful location in apple orchard, no internet or phone, all contributing to a chilled out few days and nights. Ruby was clean and tidy, and LED lighting strips gave the interior a bit of a surreal feel in the evenings. Especially enjoyed the last night when rain was hammering down...back to childhood!
