We are truly enjoyed our stay. The location is breathtakingly beautiful and the hosts Renate and John the kindest and most welcoming people. We are hoping to go back to the Pound Cottage in the future.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has a great location and you are also allowed to walk around the hosts' property, which is really extraordinary big. Hosts are very gracious and were also happy to show us around their farm and old house. The tour was very interesting and it was nice to talk to the hosts.
Just as expected, middle of no-where, perfect story book cottage, pond, ducks, geese, lambs, chickens. Hosts were great, cottage well equipped, beds comfortable with en-suite in each of the 2 bedrooms. The pool just topped it off, superb, thank you.
Our visit to this VRBO was like stepping back in time. It was located in the English countryside on a beautifully maintained farm dating back to the 1500's. Everywhere you looked, gave you a sense of peace. The landscape, grand arboretum, the flowers, the occasional sounds of sheep off in the distance was glorious. Our accommodations were in a converted onetime stable, the interior beautifully crafted, with all the amenities one would need. The proprietors were gracious, kind and accommodating. We would highly recommend this location for a peaceful get away.
The cottage was stunning. 2 large en suite bedrooms with wonderful beams on the ceiling, a big kitchen/diner and a nice lounge. All this set on a working farm. John and Renata were wonderful hosts and very attentive to every query we had. John even let us help with installing additional posts to support his fantastic tree collection and he showed us a nest if blackbirds in his tractor!

A Lovely Stay In the Devon Countryside!
It is difficult to describe all the wonderful things about Pond Cottage. John and Renate treat you more like long missed family than lodgers. The grounds are beautiful in a way only a Devon farm can be. My children and I enjoyed the ducks, the sheep, and all the wonderful farm life. It forces you to slow down and enjoy the more important things in life. We will definitely be back!
We all enjoyed our rural escape to Pond Cottage! John and Renate were friendly and welcoming to their beautiful farm. The boys were able to cuddle some baby goslings as soon as we arrived. We were given all the information we needed, and were free to explore. The cottage is equipped with everything you need, and is lovely inside. WI-FI is available. There is a private garden with a picnic bench in a sunny corner. The boys loved being surrounded by the animals, and feeding the ducks and geese. The swimming pool was also an added bonus, and very welcome in the sunny weather. Would definitely recommend a visit! Thank you.
A really lovely, peaceful retreat, with a couple of niggles
We were pleasantly surprised by the peaceful location, the amazing views of Devon landscape and the lovely owners, John and Renate.
On entering the property we saw that it’s bigger than it looks on pictures and was on the surface very clean. It had every piece of equipment you could imagine, especially the kitchen.
It was great to have a selection of DVDS and books, cleaning equipment, a lot of storage, underfloor heating and remote control blinds.
Sadly, the internet was not good enough to hold Zoom meetings but if you’re not working while staying at the cottage then you should be fine.
On closer inspection, harder to reach and places could use a deep clean- the corners, high beams in the bedrooms, high shelves and sills and cupboard tops were all extremely dusty and there were a lot of cobwebs, dead insects and spiders. A deep clean once a month should do it.
We loved the pool and it’s a shame the weather wasn’t better so we could use it more.
We had a really nice time and would love to return, but we’d love to see the washing machine replaced as it’s very rusty and has black mould inside so the clothes we washed smelt worse afterwards.
We’d also love to see the showers updated. They’re those electric showers from the 80s/90s which are either freezing or boiling with no in between. In order to find a temperature we could stand it took 15 minutes of fiddling with the dials, and next time we turned it on the settings were obsolete and we had to start the process again.
Pond cottage was ideallic, surrounded by beautiful countryside and gardens. The facilities were fantastic and the cottage well insulated. Ducks and geese were fun to watch and little squirrels hopping around the garden.
Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich, das Haus und der Garten super. Alles sehr sauber. Sogar ein neuer Griller wurde während des Aufenthalts besorgt. Vielen Dank an Renate und John
Great hosts, perfectly quiet location, stunning surroundings & a beautiful cottage with everything you could need. The geese are friendly, the chickens follow you around & the ducks love snacks. Our idea of heaven in Devon.
We managed to escape for a few days relaxation and Pond Cottage was perfect for us. A beautiful location and an ideal cottage to unwind in front of the log burner. The owners made us feel very welcome and it was lovely to chat - the cottage and farm are very well cared for and a lovely place to be. Thank you for creating such a relaxing place, we look forward to coming back.
We had the most wonderful time! Huge thank you to the hosts - they have thought of everything that we could need and are the loveliest of people! The kids were encouraged to explore and learnt lots about all the animals and trees. Perfectly located for the area and everything made our visit so very comfortable
Renate and John were so welcoming and engaging with our two little ones. The pride taken in maintaining their beautiful converted cottage shines through and we instantly felt at home. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, loved and cared for. The icing on the cake for the kids was feeding the ducks everyday (who were often waiting for their next treat) and regular dips in the pool. Could not fault our stay, we all loved it. Thank you both for such a lovely welcoming stay.
A lovely cottage with equally lovely owners, made us feel so welcome and very kind to our children too. Really enjoyed our stay and hope we can come back again soon.
Thank you Renate and John for a lovely stay and for looking after us so well …
We have all decided to move in with you permanently

John and Renata were so welcoming, everything was ready for our arrival, they welcomed us to explore their property as we wished. Cottage was well stocked and had thoughtful touches like flowers, jam and eggs. The lambs were lovely, place was so tranquil, a great place to unwind and relax.
