What a lovely place. My family and I stayed for a week and really enjoyed Odle farm. The location is great, being close enough to a town to get things, but far enough away that you're not always popping back and forth. The cottage is well appointed and had everything we wanted. The games barn was super and a real hit with my children. Likewise the hot tub was also great and a nice way to spend time in the evenings.

Small farm with 4 lovely cottages, catering for 2, 3 and 5 persons in the Otter Valley. Built to a high standard, perfect for myself and my wife, not forgetting our dog.

Fantastic accommodation in a great, secluded location. Well maintained with all amenities. Amazing walks in the areas. We had the added bonus of a hot tub and use of the games room. Highly recommended

We have just returned from a fantastic 5-day family holiday in Wisteria cottage.We are a family of 5, with 3 older children plus a dog.The cottage was perfect for us; spacious, very well presented, warm, and filled with everything we could possibly need. Our hosts were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful.The rec room was a brilliant addition (especially when the weather wasn't the best) - offering games, pool, air hockey, and ping-pong.The highlight for us had to be the hot-tub (something we've not had before!) - it was lovely and really added to our Easter break.The surrounding countryside and views are peaceful and relaxing. We also ventured down to the coast, which was a short drive away. We particularly loved Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. After a recommendation from our host, we also enjoyed a visit to the donkey sanctuary, which was dog-friendly and had a lovely cafe!All in all, it was a perfect break away for us. We would highly recommend this holiday location and look forward to a return visit in the future.

We stayed in Wisteria Cottage with our 5 year old. It was lovely and quiet, the view was stunning. There was a games barn with lots of activities for our son including puzzles, duplo table tennis and air hockey. We enjoyed the hot tub and the view from there! The hosts are lovely and friendly, we also made friends with the cats, sheep and the horses. The owners left a chocolate Easter bunny for our son which was very well received! The area was lovely and lots of nice beaches and countryside to explore. Recommend Upottery dairy and the Holt to eat. We'd definitely come back.

Absolutely wonderful weekend at Olde Farm with the family.Wisteria cottage was just what we were looking for our time away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the beds were comfy and we had everything we needed. We had beautiful weather whilst there, so enjoyed sitting out on the patio for breakfast every morning.The hot tub being across the courtyard wasn't a problem, because it has a shower, changing facilities and robes available. It also feels very private and has a great view.The games room was so much fun and a great addition, we had many table tennis and air hockey challenges! The pool table has a charge, so sadly we couldn't use it as none of us had any change.The views are amazing and we enjoyed a 40 minute walk to the Somerset Arms for lunch, which I would also recommend, yum lovely lunch.Other family members of ours have already booked and are going shortly because of the brilliant time we had. Karen was brilliant and so helpful too.
