A peaceful and lovely stay in the heart of Devon. The whole family enjoyed our week in The Goyle during a sunny half term. The place was spotless and well appointed, the hot tub was a brilliant way to start and end each day and the children and dog very much enjoyed the swing set and field below to play in.
