The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with several guests describing it as clean and tidy. However, a few guests noted the presence of dog hairs and suggested the floors could benefit from a more thorough cleaning.
Location
The location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and the countryside, making it a good base for exploring Devon. Some guests, however, felt that the working farm environment might not suit those seeking complete tranquillity.
