We rented Nut Tree Darm cottage as we were having our wedding at the nearby venue or Brickhouse Vineyard and had family travelling from abroad. The space in the cottage is amazing and we were not on top of each other the whole week end. Cooking was simple with the big kitchen and equipment available. The only things to improve the experience would be a map to locate the indoor swimming pool and signage to the game room which we wouldn't have seen if we hadn't read about it (and maybe a dartboard!). Apart from that, we had a great time!

Lovely large Cottage. Has everything you could possibly need. Great that the outdoor pool is now heated. This is our second visit and we are about to book our third.

We had a fabulous weekend away with 26 friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. Nut Tree Farm was the perfect venue - the house was huge with plenty of communal space and it was fantastic that every bedroom had its own en-suite. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to cater for that many people. We went in March so didn’t use the outdoor pool but did use the indoor pool and sauna on the estate which was great. We went clay pigeon shooting at Ashcombe shooting ground and ordered an Indian takeaway from Naz Indian in Teignmouth - would recommend both. Highly recommend Nut Tree Farm if you are looking for a Venice for a large number of people.
