“We loved the Hen House and it was spotless. It was perfect for our family of 4 and would easily and comfortably host 3 kids with parents. We had amazing weather and spent several days at Bantham Beach, a day at Start Point and a day at Woodlands theme park. The farm was great fun for the kids – they saw newborn calves, collected duck eggs and climbed hay bales with Albert. Thank you – we had the most fantastic stay…

Fantastic property, great views and wonderfully looked after. Had a really relaxing short break. Arrival instructions were perfect given the current road closure. Dartmouth is lovely with wonderful pubs, cafes and shops.

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We had an amazing stay in the cabin, thank you! The cabin had everything we needed and the bottle of wine was a very nice surprise! Thank you for the flexibility with the check in and out times.

We have been there with 1 toddler and a baby for two days. We have enjoyed it a lot. The farm was next to our house. The house was very clean as shown in the photos. However we have struggled to find a halal spot to eat near there.

Another wonderful stay at Spindrift. The house is light and airy, equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week. The living area is spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms are bright with beautiful bathrooms. Our dogs love the garden which wraps around and is completely secure. The weather was gorgeous and so the bbq came in very handy. Paul was very friendly and helpful in his communication. Hopefully we w…
