Lovely well equipped home for large families. Private outdoor pool was a treat and was warm enough to use in october. Kitchen was so well equipped we easily catered for the week. Indoor pool and play areas were immaculate. Key issue for us was access at front of house which had stairs and no hand rail which caused problems for older adults...

Fantastic stay! Great facilities and space for a large group. Pool a wonderful addition as well as the on site indoor pool and sauna. Kitchen well equipped and lovely to have toiletries provided in rooms. One small comment about accessibility as we had a wheelchair user in our group-is it possible to have a foldable ramp available for the step down to the accessible downstairs room? She had to go outside to get round to her bedroom door which was fine but not ideal had it been raining etc. also a grab rail down into the pool would be helpful. We had a really wonderful stay and were so impressed with the property. Cosy, warm and welcoming, also top job cleaning team, it’s was immaculate!

Nut Tree Farm was very good overall, plenty of room &equipment ,have recommended it to two friends already .Only downside for me was lack of a handrail up the steps to get into the property &also to get up the steps to swimming pool, the steps are uneven &for an 80year old needed a hand as some steps higher than others,We all enjoyed our stay there even dodging the pheasants who want to play chicken in the lane leading to the properties, had lovely food from Chinese &Indian takeaway from Newton Abbot
