We had a fantastic stay at the Old Carriage House. It was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The view from the upstairs terrace was stunning. Thank you so much for a relaxing stay and for all the little extras from the delicious brownies and orange juice on arrival to the popcorn for the kids. We would definitely recommend. ...

We had an amazing and very comfortable stay at the Old Carriage House. One of the most beautifully furnished properties we have stayed in. As a family of four plus a dog, we had everything we could ask for. The property is very well equipped and to a very high standard. We even had fans in each of the bedrooms to keep us cool during the few days we had a heatwave. A lot of thought and care has been taken by the owners to ensure a wonderful stay. Even our lab had his own bed and a hamper of goodies on arrival. The upstairs living space was very comfortable and spacious for the four of us, and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. We had a wonderful and very relaxing stay, thank you....

We eventually managed to find the property which is sandwiched between the owners house and dairy cattle sheds. The new conversion is appealingly done. There is a lovely view from the upstairs open terrace. We appreciated the scones and cider etc on arrival. A major challenge here is noise. Milking starts very early and reversing bleeping tractors feeding silage to the cattle begins around 8.30pm and is far from conducive to a holiday lie in. Clarity as to where dogs are allowed in and outside the house seems needed. Although surrounding fields are mentioned there are no maps to suggest where dogs might be welcome, on or off the lead. The patio with BBQ and fire pit is feet from the facade of the owners house and simply not sufficiently private. Nor is the properly dog/child secure. The adjoining sloping paddock is useful and dogs may be walked ‘on leads’ yet it is open to the traffic in the byway. The main drawback within the house is the lack of a freezer. A small larder fridge could not contain our supermarket delivery during a very hot five day stay. ...

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at The Old Carriage House. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the thoughtful conversion, the welcome treats on arrival and the beautiful countryside views from the balcony. The Old Carriage House is set on the edge of a family-run working dairy farm, deep within the Devon countryside, and many guests choose it specifically for its authentic rural setting and close connection to farm life. We always do our best to accurately describe our properties with the literature and photos, but thanks to your feedback, we have reviewed and adjusted our description in hopes that it further highlights the setting for future guests. We appreciate, however, that the sights and sounds of a working farm may not suit everyone, and we're sorry to hear that aspects of the setting impacted your stay. Thank you also for your comments regarding the outdoor space, dog-walking arrangements, and kitchen facilities. Feedback such as this is always valuable and helps us review the information we provide to guests, as well as the overall holiday experience. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for highlighting both the aspects you enjoyed and those you felt could be improved. Joel, Customer Support...
