If possible improve the WiFi to the cottage and first thing in the morning while having breakfast Sky News was pixellating it did improve later. I would recommend this place to other people.

Welcoming hosts, lovely working farm, remote and quiet, if you don't count the occasional animal noises. We came for the peace and quiet and the goats. However, our heart was stolen by border collie called Solo, who was an exceptional tour guide around the area. Ginny was a lovely host and looked after us well. The cottage is warm, comfortable and Read morehome from home. Thank you Ginny, family and Solo for welcoming us to your farm. Hide

Really comfortable and well-equipped property. Great location for exploring Exmoor, Dartmoor and the N Cornwall coast. Lovely walks around farm and surrounding countryside and good local pubs with excellent food. Really good location for children with plenty of outdoor toys and a play cabin. Owners very welcoming and children can feed the goats. LoRead morets of goats, sheep and cows on the farm along with dogs and cats. Saw lots of wildlife. We loved it. Hide

I would highly recommend this property for a lovely relaxing holiday. Beautiful surroundings, lots of animals to see, plenty of places around to visit, although most are an hour or so away. Would certainly come back if I had a chance.

Birds Nest was a fantastic place to stay, Ginny made a wonderful cake for when we arrived with fresh flowers on the table. The place was rural so not ideal for anyone who wants amenities close by. The views were incredible. The place was clean and tidy with everything you need. Wed definitely visit again.
