Yarcombe Holidays from £594

Great place on the Cornwall/Devon border, equidistant from the stuff you can do in the Southwest. The food they serve is great, as is the staff I interacted with. An EV charger in the same parking area is very helpful, as well. I was surprised that my single room didn't have a TV. The water pressure and heat when trying to shower were never consistent (but usually okay). While not a comment about this hotel, know that this area doesn't have much for stuff to do. If you're on vacation here, the hotel is where you go to call it a night and relax. Knowing all this, I would definitely keep this place in mind the next time I do a Southwest holiday.

We had the best week imaginable in this adorable shepherd's hut. The communication with the host was impeccable and they were friendly, helpful and efficient with every query. The hot tub is huge, as is the outside area for relaxing - the garden area is well shaded through the evening by trees and there is a field of beautiful cows for company. Bring logs etc for the tub, barbeque and log burner. It feels very private and isolated but it's relatively close to all the nearby amenities in Holsworthy. There is no road noise as it is set away from main traffic routes. Located on a working farm, there will be animal noises, which add to the tranquility. The hut itself is gorgeous. Beautifully kitted out and more spacious than I'd imagined. The shower is awesome (there's an outdoor one, too) but can be a little temperamental switching between hot and cold to keep you on your toes, but this didn't affect the overall impact of such a fabulous little hideaway. Lots of electrical sockets, shelving and drawers, lovely towels and robes and all the cookware you would need. Oven and fridge worked great and the sink is stunning. There was a Nespresso machine, too, which was very welcome indeed! The occasional frog and fox popped by to say hello but we remained entirely undisturbed and had the chance to relax fully away from the crowds and tourists. I wish we had booked the whole summer here. It was so perfect and brought us much joy. Enormous thanks to our fabulous hosts.
