Beautiful hideaway

Lovely holiday home in a tranquil setting, away from the crowds. We always felt happy to return here after a day out. The animals added extra interest and Claire was very responsive to our requests. Our favourite trip was Buddleigh Salterton, for swimming and shopping, only 25 mins away. The tramilne from Colyton to Seaton was also excellent, with a wonderful wetlands stop en route.

Lovely, well equipped family property

Lovely property, clean, well equipped and thoughtfully presented. Ideal for families although we were a family with 2 adult children so one of them had to sleep in a single bed (partners cancelled) Very quiet in a nice part of Devon. We walked into the town Ottery which took us about 40 mins and not always a footpath but just a country road so needed to be careful. Road in was very narrow but luckily didn’t meet any vehicles coming in the other way - happy I wasn’t driving.

Not quite the standard we expected.

The property was looking tired both inside and out. Garden and lounge furniture tatty. The paths and patio areas needed weeding, most garden pots only had weeds in them.

Family break

The property was lovely & clean.it had everything you would need for a home from home relaxing stay. Lovely outdoor space aswell. As we drove in & parked 2 pigs in a field came over to the gate to greet us & the following morning we could see lama's from the kitchen window. The bedrooms & bathrooms were all good sizes. Claire & Avril were lovely very helpful & friendly.

Beautiful location

We arrived 2.5 hours early and Claire let us check in with no problem which was so kind. The rooms are perfect size and it’s nice it had two bathrooms. My only criticism was we picked this property due to the fire pit in the garden witch unfortunately wasn’t there when we arrived.

About the host

Hosted by Claire Read

I am a mixed media artist, working in my studio on the farm. We have lived here for 11 years, and converted The Burrow in to a holiday cottage in 2016, so that others might also enjoy this little slice of Devon heaven, which we occupy!

Why they chose this property

I have spent most of my life in the South West of England, and have lived in this particular part of East Devon since 2000. I absolutely adore this rolling hills, the far-reaching rural views, the chocolate-box cottages, the stunning coastal scenery - it has everything, and more!

What makes this property unique

The Burrow has a wonderfully calm atmosphere, and is light, airy and uncluttered. It is a flowing space, that leads out to it's own large, private garden, with wonderful views and vistas. With far-reaching westerly views in particular, we experience some of the best sunsets I have ever seen!
