Beautiful peaceful location and perfect for recharging and relaxing.The host has gone above and beyond creating a bespoke and homely haven nestled within a beautiful location shared with an abundance of wildlife. The tranquil and relaxing environment is something we will look forward to returning too.
We had a very relaxing 3 night stay at Driftwood Cottage.
Didn't manage to get out on the paddleboards as tides and weather conspired against us but read books and went on some lush walks
A fantastically well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. We had a perfect Christmas break, bringing our mother over to join us for the day with a full Christmas dinner. Everything we needed to prepare and serve up the food we brought for the meal was provided and even the weather was on our side. Some lovely walks from the door with our dogs. Thank you.
Thank you to Johnathan for an amazing stay at the Wilderness barns. It’s such a home away from home with everything you need for a week away. It is very rural and peaceful which suited us perfectly. A lovely relaxing retreat. The dogs loved it too with a lovely secure garden for them and us to enjoy. Johnathan was very helpful when we had a few initial issues which were rapidly resolved.Would love to stay again.
Een prachtig huisje op een wondermooie plek. Dit voelt niet als een standaard vakantiewoning, de eigenaars deden er alles aan om het persoonlijk en gezellig te maken.
Een warme welkom ook, met versgebakken brood, honing, eitjes en tomaten en een boeketje bloemen op tafel.
Amidst Devon's embrace, where riverside whispers flow, Lies the Enchanted Wilderness, where nature's secrets grow. A tapestry of wildflowers dance upon the land, As if painted by brushstrokes of an artist's gentle hand.
The riverside meanders, its melody serene, Caressing the hearts of all who venture to this scene. Where farmland stretches wide, with gentle rolling hills, They whisper tales of history, and dreams that time fulfills.
Beneath the ancient oaks, where tranquility resides, The Enchanted Wilderness enchants, with all its hidden tides. Birdsongs fill the air, a symphony so sweet, As sunlight dances softly, shining at nature's feet.
Devon's haven of peace, where wildlife freely roam, Where dreams are born midst wildflowers that gracefully comb. The Enchanted Wilderness, a place where spirits thee, Find solace in its embrace, as nature sets them free.
So come, wanderers and dreamers, to this enchanted shore, Where wildflowers sway and riverside stories lore. Let Devon's wilderness, with its magic untold, Embrace your weary heart, and enchant your very soul.
