This is a lovely house with plenty of space (we were nine adults and four children.) It is in a beautiful location. We parked five cars easily and enjoyed an excellent Saturday evening dinner at the superb Coach and Horses (including exclusive use of the skittles alley!) The furnishing and equipment in the house were excellent. We would fully recommend it although the housekeeper had failed on several issues, and was unavailable to sort them out, leaving us to do our own cleaning and bed-making before we could move in. We are assured that this issue will be rectified. ...

Easy to use website with clear instructions and reminders for payments. House description was accurate and useful and there were plenty of pictures. I contacted the website a couple of times, via email, to enquire about our stay and received replies within 24 hours. We had a wonderful stay at Friends Farmhouse. The house was really special and was exactly what our party needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The children were thrilled with the little play room and ample outdoor space. They enjoyed the shortbread left for our arrival and the adults enjoyed the prosecco - a lovely welcome, thank you. The adults enjoyed the multiple social spaces and the well equipped kitchens. We were really impressed with the speedy response from housekeeping whenever we had a problem or query. When we first arrived, there was a problem with the hot water, but within an hour of contacting house keeping, someone had been round to resolve the issue. ...

Friends Farmhouse is the perfect home away from home. With eight bedrooms, two living areas and 2 kitchens, it gave us the flexibility to enjoy a family holiday for our ever expanding family without feeling cramped. The house itself is in a beautiful location, quiet enough to enjoy some peace, secluded enough to celebrate without disturbing neighbours and within driving distance of all North Devon’s top attractions and beaches. Pet and child friendly, Friends Farmhouse provided everything you could ask for a break away. The hosts and housekeepers were available and approachable and ensured we had everything needed. I cannot recommend it enough. ...
