Mrs Redhead June 2022
I can't recommend the wagon highly enough. I literally thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The scenery is stunning, the garden is beautiful and watching the birds and the horses was so relaxing. The hot tub was great but I would go without it personally. Maybe a hammock?
Mr Claridge May 2022
Perfect peace and panoramic views.Excellent for combat stress sufferers.
Miss Poole April 2022
Another beautiful stay in this magical shepherds hut. The owners are so respectful and kind. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and everything has been thought of to make staying here a pure joy.
Miss Preissler April 2022
We have just returned from our 4 night trip at The Waggon with Faraway Views and feel completely refreshed after our break. The wagon is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need. The views are stunning and we enjoyed watching the horses who spent their days in the surrounding fields. The wagon was the perfect first holiday for our dog, the garden is a lovely size for him to run around and play in and it is fully enclosed. To summarise we would say the Wagon with Faraway Views is in a idyllic location which enables you to explore Devon, it is immaculately presented and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub!
Miss Preston April 2022
The wagon was so much bigger than I thought it was going to be. The bed was so comfy I didn't want to get out of it. The wagon surpassed my expectations, the views were amazing and I loved waking up to horses in the fields Infront and to the side. The hosts were absolutely wonderful, greeting us on arrival and leave, a wonderful touch was the cream tea and apple juice they had left for us. The hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed the privacy and peace we had. Great location for day trips and the fact you can see dartmoor is a bonus too. Would recommend and definitely will return.
Mr Cundy April 2022
This was our second visit to The Wagoon, its a beautiful little peaceful hide away with stunning views of Dartmoor, as always we received a warm and welcome greeting from Rob and Jean. The Wagoon is a perfect place to relax, we look forward to returning.
Miss Porter March 2022
Great weekend away, great location, clean accommodation, would definitely recommend.
Mrs Larder March 2022
Sitting in the hot tub gazing up at the stars was just wonderful and during the day the uninterrupted view were an absolute delight. I would highly recommend a stay at the Wagon with Faraway views!

Loved the wagon, it was clean and well equipped, stunning location ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and privacy, a bonus that we can take our dog, the hosts were friendly and helpful, we have already booked to return next year.
Mrs Reed September 2021
This is a wonderful little gem of a place to stay with the most perfect views. A very relaxing stay.
Miss Argiz September 2021
Our week away in the wagon was absolute bliss! The wagon has the most amazing views and we loved seeing all the farm animals everyday. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind, with the hot tub being a much loved feature of the wagon. We would definitely recommend the wagon or even look to return again!
Mrs Abbott-Capps August 2021
We had a truly wonderful stay. Very friendly hosts Lovely cream tea and eggs (they were fresh and tasted wonderful) Much more space inside than I was expecting, we were 3 adults and a dog Quality of everything was excellent from the wagon itself to all that was in it Fabulous library and board games Garden was beautiful with lots of wild flowers Locally, fresh eggs up the driveway and the New Inn at Coleford had great food. Centrally located to visit the North Devon coast and the South. Dartmoor was stunning with lots of great walks and hidden villages. Castle Drogo, just a few miles away, was wonderful.
Mrs Noffki August 2021
What a perfect piece of holiday heaven. Spectacular views, peaceful, wonderful helpful owners. Ideal for kids and doggie with lots of secure beautiful garden to play in, horses to stroke and combines to watch. Hot powerful shower, comfy beds, tastefully decorated and really clean. We will return to relax again. Thank you
Mrs Skinner June 2021
The hosts were absolutely amazing. Welcoming & friendly. They were very patient with our two kids and took the time with them to introduce them to their dogs and animals. The wagon was finished to a high spec and was absolutely immaculate. The high quality bed linen was really appreciated also. All in all a great family short break, we loved every minute of it.
Mr Crawley June 2021
Breath taking views. Lovely private garden hot tub was a massive hit with the kids. Very well presented. Very clean inside and out. Everything u need was there. Highley recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break. Will definitely be back.

Miss Poole April 2021
Our break started well with a super friendly welcome at this picture-postcard shepherds hut. The owners have thought of everything, from the well equipped kitchen to comfortable beds with luxurious cotton bedding.
Unlike many shepherds huts, this one has two separate bedroom areas, making it feel spacious and that you have your own room if sharing with a friend or family. The electric heaters are a clever addition, with the back up of a gorgeous mini wood stove, which we didn't need despite chilly evenings as the hut is so well insulated.
The hot tub is a welcome touch, with the most amazing views. We used it way more than we expected, and loved how it eased us out after long walks in the truly stunning Devonshire countryside that leads straight from the door.
Mr Taylor December 2020
We would definitely recommend the wagon for great family time. We did so much as a family. Played games, went for long walks with the dog and relaxed in the hot tub. It was great fun.
Ms Roberts December 2020
Wonderful getaway, the welcome basket was very thoughtful (and the apple juice was amazing!). Gorgeous views and a very comfortable bed for a good nights sleep. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou!

Mrs Baker October 2020
The owners were friendly and easy to contact. We were comfortable and warm and the welcome goodies were a thoughtful touch. The views are fantastic especially at sunrise and sunset. The wagon is in a good location for walks and easy access to Dartmoor.

The cabin is a fantastic place for a quiet get away - stunning views, especially while in the hot tub. Great hosts with a lovely welcome basket of home made scones, jam, cream - as well as milk and farm fresh eggs.
Mr Davies October 2020
Had a great time. Really enjoyed the cream tea with jam and the abundance of board games on arrival. Really nice touches. Location was amazing, hosts super friendly and helpful. Great time.

Me and my boyfriend came here for a weekend away for our anniversary and it was so cute! Amazing facilities, the little extras made all the difference. Would definitely come back in the future! X
Mr Welch October 2020
Would highly recommend this perfect holiday home, cannot fault anything. Thank you for the wonderful break away.
Mr Jones October 2020
We liked the remote ness of the property however recommended that you go prepared as some of the information given on the website is out of date! For example the Ruby Farm shop mentioned closed 18 months ago!
Ms Kirkwood August 2020
The Wagon With Faraway Views is just perfect for a safe and secluded get-away. It's tiny but really well designed and feels spacious. The views are stunning, and the veranda and hot tub mean you can really enjoy them to the full as you relax. We came away thoroughly refreshed.
Mr Hankin August 2020
Excellent views, peaceful location, cleanliness, private hot tub, very secure garden for dog, privacy (owners at farm house but did not intrude), equipment, outside deck.
Mrs Crosbie July 2020
Fabulous place to stay. Amazing views. The waggon is gorgeous. Thank you for having us.
Mr Seaward July 2020
We had a lovely week in the wagon, even though we don't live that far from the site, it was perfect for us to get away and enjoy a quiet break.
The location was great with the views, it was also very nice to catch and have a chat with the owners, just a shame we are in these times of social distancing, because I'm sure we may have had a few more chats.
All in all lovely and thank you.

Mr Lowe February 2020
Almost lost for words! A fantastic bolt hole in a beautiful setting. Everything was perfect about the property, clean, well appointed, cosy and relaxing, an absolute gem. A friendly welcome by the owner on arrival along with some tasty scones with jam and clotted cream. Hope to visit again in the not to distant future.
Miss Baldwin January 2020
We had a lovely relaxing weekend at the wagon. The wagon was very cosy especially with the log burner going. Set in a beautiful location with spectacular views. Being able to see the stars from the hot tub both nights was truly amazing! We have already recommended to friends and family and hope to return again in the future. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and we felt very welcome.
Miss Mcguinness November 2019
Myself and my fiance loved our stay for the weekend. The location was beautiful and the accommodation was just perfect! The owners were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating for everything and even recommended places nearby. Being able to bring our dog along was the best little bonus and there was even a little welcome treat for him too! We have already recommended this place to friends and will definitely be coming back again.
Mr Cobb November 2019
The wagon with faraway view is perfect, the location and hosts are lovely , the wagon it self is amazing, having the sleeping space tucked away made so much more sense then spending all day sat on something that would turn into you bed, very swayed to buying one myself as my permanent home, the views and location I may not be able to afford,
Mr Brewster October 2019
A small cosy space that was ideal for a short getaway from the busy day to day life! Genuinely felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but only a short distance from towns and the hot tub was the cherry on top!
Mrs Male October 2019
We had a fantastic stay at the Wagon. Every need was catered for. Bed super comfy with gorgeous linen and the bedroom space was very romantic. The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch. The absolute selling point were the amazing views! Sitting on the porch and sitting in the hot-tub was so peaceful watching the horses and listening to the birds allowed us to relax fully. Would highly recommend!
Mrs Eggelton August 2019
The Wagon was a pleasure to stay in and made for a unique and memorable experience. This was enhanced by the addition of a hot tub, overlooking the spectacular views, after we made our reservation. It was apparent that there had been a lot of consideration regarding the use of space within The Wagon. The owners were friendly and accommodated our unexpected early arrival. The welcome basket was very much appreciated and our Chihuahua thoroughly enjoyed his bone biscuit.
Thank you for such a wonderful stay.
Mrs Broad July 2019
We had a fabulous short break at the Wagon. The Wagon was spotless, well equipped and set in the most stunning location which lived up to the name. We were welcomed by Jean and a lovely cream tea on arrival. The owners were around on the farm if needed but the Wagon was set in its own field so you had plenty of privacy and being completely enclosed meant our dog had plenty of freedom and thoroughly enjoyed herself too. We had glorious weather and had the most relaxing break, playing games with the kids and jumping in the hot tub. We would all highly recommend the Wagon and will love to return one day. Thank you!
Miss South October 2018
This is a gorgeous little wagon with breath taking views. I took my mum and her dog stan and we all had a fantastic time. The Wagon is beautifully laid out and spotless. It is kitted out with absolutely everything you need on your hols with plenty of storage for its size. The owners are friendly and helpful and there when you need them but they leave you to your own holiday devices much of the time making it feel like a tranquil remote retreat. I cant recommend this holiday wagon enough!
Mrs Hunt August 2018
The owners were welcoming and friendly and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The cabin was spotless, comfortable and very cozy with wonderful views. we all thoroughly enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay.We would definitely recommend the property to others. A real gem!
Mrs Barber August 2018
The wagon was beautifully presented, the welcome pack was delicious and appreciated, there was a surprising amount of storage, car parking was convenient and close by, bedding and towels were lovely and luxurious, and electrical items and the shower were brilliant and worked perfectly. Our hosts were friendly and informative, and there were some fantastic magazines, leaflets and other local information in the wagon which helped us get the most out of our holiday.
Mrs Merrifield July 2018
We had a lovely stay at the wagon, perfect location for enjoying Dartmoor National Park and the coast. The wagon is beautiful and the owners were very welcoming. Thank you!
Mrs Foh May 2018
We loved the welcome present and the owners pub suggestion (The New Inn). The views from the waggon are great!
Miss Solomon May 2018
Lovely peaceful setting, very child and dog friendly, wouldn’t change a thing about the wagon brilliant for a little break away. Would definitely recommend to friends/family.
Ms Simmons April 2018
Simply gorgeous little place to stay.
Miss Coumbe March 2018
Everything about our short stay was perfect. There wasn’t anything I could fault. The wagon itself was beautiful and in the most perfect location with walks in every direction as soon as you step off the farm. Easy access to Dartmoor, local beaches and towns and villages to explore too. Or just sit on the decking soaking up the magnificent view and the sunshine with a drink of something cold or a good book. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and on hand if we needed but also did not intrude on our privacy. Little extra touches like a vase of daffodils and a welcome basket for us and a welcome bone for our dog were also very much appreciated. They also had a very relaxed manor when it came to us bringing our dog. Having the wagon in a completely fenced off area made the stay even more easy that he could run around free as much as he liked. There was no hassle of him having to constantly be on a lead! I could not rave about this place enough! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We will most definitely be back.
Miss Morgan February 2018
This place was perfect for small simple living. A perfect spot for a slow paced holiday with lots of reading and a great location to be based in to explore the beautiful Dartmoor!!
Miss Dynes January 2018
This was the most perfect, tranquil, peaceful holiday I’ve ever had. The Wagon was so amazing and the views awe inspiring!
Mrs Woods December 2017
We had a wonderful short break at the Wagon over the New Year period. Rob and Jean are excellent hosts, welcoming and friendly and very helpful.
The Wagon itself is fabulous; incredibly well equipped and finished to the highest standard. It was very comfortable and very cosy, thanks to the log burner. It's well positioned between Dartmoor and Exmoor and we visited both National Parks. There are some very good pubs locally, The Ring of Bells in Cheriton was particularly good. We've already recommended it to several of our friends!
Mrs Mitchell December 2017
Lovely area to visit and a unusual & charming property. We visisted in December . I Imagine it would be even better in the summer as there is great outside space to use.
Mrs Fitzpatrick August 2017
We really loved it and would highly recommend the Wagon.
M Perret July 2017
The wagon itself is a great treat and the surrounding countryside just fantastic. Besides, our car unfortunately broke down and the owners very kindly and very efficiently offered all the help they could - and not mentioning the fine pastries that they do at the farm....
Mr Drake May 2017
We loved our time here. Perfect for couples or families with small children. The accommodation was spacious and of exceptional quality. Rob and Jean were very helpful and attentive hosts. The position of the wagon is stunning with amazing views all around and it's location in Devon means all areas of Dartmoor, Exmoor, North and South Devon are accessible by car. We look forward to returning soon.
Mr Elgood April 2017
This property is a true jem. As soon as we arrived we knew we had found something special. The wagons location is just excellent, being in easy reach via car to Dartmoor, North and South Devon's coast and even Cornwall. That's without all the little public footpaths dotted around the area. Lyford gorge is a must.....a very long walk but the views are a must see. Rocky found the stay fantastic too being of the four legged variety he found the wagons garden suited all his needs. the boneio in the dog bowl on arrival was enough to let him know he was on too something good. The whole stay surpassed are expectations and will definitely be booking up again
Mr Smyth April 2017
Was a wonderful wagon with spectacular views! Was warmly welcomed by Rob and Jean and we felt at home and couldn't get enough of the peace and quiet! Beautifully crafted wagon with high quality furnishings. We'll be returning later in the year!
Mr Morgan-Lee March 2017
Robert and Jean were excellent hosts and very welcoming to their Wagon. It was absolutely fantastic and exactly as the photos suggested. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing and just what we needed. The Wagon was of an excellent standard and very well equipped. The basket of goodies that welcomed us on arrival were most appreciated and a lovely touch. Robert and Jean made sure we were comfortable and warm despite the quite chilly weather and that we were ok and had no problems using the log fire. Our three day stay was just not long enough in this lovely Wagon and tranquil location so we are already looking to return again in May
