What a wonderful holiday
We had a great time in Oak. Everything Karen said about the property was how it was in reality - the photos dont do it justice. We had a gentle lead up to the holiday with a nice conversation from Karen as to the weather and what to do when in Devon. Always on hand and never intrusive.
The property itself was deceptively large especially with the games room. The pool table was a hit. The parking was spacious - certainly when compared to London. The kitchen was well equipped with two fridges and plenty of storage and loads of utensils. The decor was modern, clean, welcoming and comfortable. The gardens were relaxing and we tried the BBQ pits which also worked very well.
Karen and team had done a great job to ensure we would have a good time - we did. The beds were dreamily comfortable with ample pillows and light duvets.
The proximity to the beaches and other attractions was good - the lanes are, without a doubt, narrow and you have to go slowly and be prepared to back - frequently.
Dartmouth was handy for shopping with a super Sainsburys and Lidl + fuel.
Thank you.

Idyllic and peaceful
We (a group of 6) had a lovely time here - we especially loved the attention to detail, cleanliness and a genuine sense that our hosts cared about every little thing. For the South Hams, this property was relatively centrally located, with easy access to all the locations and attractions in the area. Thank you so much!

A lovely group get together
A lovely property in a quiet part of the Devon countryside. It is set with a few other properties in a converted barn on the grounds of a larger house. There were 3 families in our group consisting of a baby, children and adults. The house itself was well equipped for all ages. The kids loved the garden as well as the pool/table tennis. There was plenty of space inside to spread out.
The host was really helpful and even called to check our needs before we arrived.
Beware of the narrow lanes in the area! The house was a 10 minute drive from the coast and there were some lovely walks. We also took trips to Dartmouth and Totnes.
All in all, a lovely place to stay! Thank you.
