Pond cottage is a true peace haven. If you are looking for a relaxing break then this is the place for you. Comfortable cottage with a well equipped kitchen. Just hens and geese for you local neighbours. Renate was a lovely host and let us use her swimming pool. Heavenly after a very hot day.

A gorgeous peaceful and tranquil retreat in the heart of the Devon countryside. The cottage is very well appointed with two large ensuite bedrooms, a large living room and a large kitchen dining area. It has been restored to a very high standard with custom oak everywhere including the furniture, stair case, shutters etc. Even the skylights have electric controled blinds for sleep in morning. The walls are traditionally plastered and the floors are either large and lovely black flag stones or wide oak boards upstairs. The fireplace is beautiful with a wood burning stove and plenty of dry forewood, perfect for those chilly days or evening. The kitchen is very functional with everything you need to cook large meals including a very nice multi over stove. Beautiful black granite counters complement the hand made oak cabinetry. There is a fridge and seperate freezer, plus a dishwasher.Outside is also lovely; private and south facing outdoor seating with views across the fields, and so quiet. The flock of geese that live in the farm yard are a welcome and only ocasionally noisy aspect of county life and the pond outside has a pair of ducks in residence. Overall it is a lovely place to spend time and our only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore the arboretum that the owers have created on the farm. I thoroughly recomend the cottage and hosts.

We stayed a week and found ourselves well-placed for our needs - visits to Dartmoor and Exmoor, the north and south coasts and a couple of National Trust properties. Excellent meal at Frou-frou in Tiverton! Pond Cottage is a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day!Lovely hosts!

Very peaceful. Perfect hosts.
