Just spent the last week at The Burrows - it is a beautiful cottage: clean, spacious and homely. The location is idyllic and perfect for exploring Devon. Would highly recommend.

Spent a thoroughly enjoyable week in the Burrows which was comfortable and welcoming despite the changeable weather. Sarah and Richard were on hand to make sure we had everything we needed. A great location for exploring the area and the hot tub has the perfect way to end each day. Highly recommended !!!

We have just come back from a stay at Pebblebed Cottage. We rented both Apple Mill and Burrows, both barns are on the same farm in Venn Ottery, East Devon and conveniently located in the countryside and close to the coast. We enjoyed stargazing in the hot tubs and cozy afternoons by the wood burners - both a real treat. Amazing bedding and spacious rooms. Not a detail is forgotten. Thank you very much Sarah!

We took all of the rooms at Pebblebed Cottages as we were part of a wedding party. It's a lovely quiet location although not far from the sea and surrounding towns.The accommodation was superb. Privacy if you want it, though the two cottages are side by side, so socialising was very easy. All of the facilities you would expect, plus a woodburner and even a hot tub.Sarah who looks after things is on hand if you need anything, although not at all intrusive. Very friendly and super efficient.

Just last week a group of us stayed at The Burrows. The space was just as described and exceeded our expectations. The cottage was extremely clean, comfortable, spacious and in a beautiful private setting. Use of the hot tub was a luxury! It had everything we needed and more, with Richard and Sarah being excellent hosts. We would definitely stay again!

Another dreamy stay at Burrows! Truly the only place I can ever feel peaceful. Burrows really is a special cottage, it has a big heart and you feel at home as soon as you open its beautiful white doors. If the hustle and bustle of your daily life is grinding you down, this is the place to be! A true diamond in glorious Devon. Thank you for another wonderful stay Sarah.x
