Beautiful….spotlessly clean….even an air fryer!

I'm a childminder who just stayed 7th to 10th March in the Devon hideaway with my husband and son.. Its beautiful, superb decor,so comfortable, spotlessly clean, everything you could need even an air fryer, great location,lovely views thoroughly recommended!! Lots of lovely touches, like milk in the fridge and oil for cooking and tea, coffee etc if you need them. Don't hesitate to book, xx”   MARCH 2024

Lots of fantastic small touches….we will definitely be returning

“We had the best time staying in the Devon Hideaway this past weekend. We’re a family of 4 with 2 dogs and had ample space. The cottage had absolutely everything we could need, lots of fantastic small touches which really meant a lot and made our stay even more enjoyable! We will most definitely be returning, for longer next time! We were also extremely lucky to meet Clare on Saturday and she really is the loveliest person. Her passion for her little cottages is infectious! Keeping being Amazing! ⭐️”    MARCH 2024

Amazing and relaxing stay…

“We had the most amazing and relaxing stay. It’s a perfect spot to explore Devon and Cornwall. The cottage has everything you need and it’s very comfortable indeed. We will be back as soon as we can!”   JANUARY 2024

Perfect cosy small space for a getaway…

“October half term. It’s a perfect cosy small space for a get away,has all you need there. We stayed with my 11yr old daughter. She loved the quiet at night,the stars were amazing! Fun watching bats and listening to owls. Great location to both Devon and Cornwall attractions,most we went to were within a 40 minute drive. We would like to come back another time, the pool being open would be icing on the cake”   OCTOBER 2023

Most comfortable bed ever in a holiday rental….

“Lovely well-equipped cottage in a very central location for exploring Devon and North Cornwall. Most comfortable bed ever in a holiday rental and a spacious furnished deck, when the weather behaves! Clare is a great host who goes the extra mile to make her guests welcome, and we hope to try her larger property next.” OCTOBER 2023

Fully equipped….extremely comfortable 

”We've just returned home from a lovely few days at the Devon Bolthole. Even though it's small, it was perfectly adequate for myself, my husband, our two teenage boys, and our dog. It's fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed was extremely comfortable, as was the huge fold-out sofa bed!
Sadly, we did not get to use the large, well furnished decking area due to our beautiful british summer weather 🌧
My husband loved the fishing 🎣 myself, and our boys loved the heated swimming pool 🏊‍♂️ which we had to ourselves most of the time.
The free use of a washing machine and tumble dryer on site was also an added bonus.
I would highly recommend Devon Bolthole for a relaxing break. It's in set in the beautiful quiet countryside with stunning views. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best with the lovely addition of some welcoming treats for us and our dog.
Thank you, Clare, We will definitely visit again soon 😊”  JULY 2023

Wish we had stayed longer….

“We just spent a lovely few days at the Devon Bolthole with my little dog too! Such a cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need including a dishwasher which was a real treat for me! Lovely touches, including fresh flowers, doggy treats and a birthday cake for my partner. So thoughtful and so clean! The area surrounding is beautiful and the on site fishing lake is well stocked if that’s your thing (not mine) but my partner had a great time and you can literally see the fish swimming around in the lake. All in all I wish we had stayed longer and were really sad to go. Thank you Clare you kept us well informed and up to date in the run up to our trip I can’t recommend the Devon Bolthole enough. 5 ⭐️ x”   JULY 2023

Everything you could possibly want…..

”Just returned from a weeks holiday in the Bolthole. The accommodation is beautifully decorated in lovely pastel colours. It is also furnished to a very high standard. There was everything you could possibly want supplied as well. Also, milk in the fridge and lovely welcome pack. Plenty of good sized fish in the lake. We had a lovely break visiting different places and a must is the pub in Sheepwash. They do homemade meals from about £15 and with generous portions. Best to book though as it gets very busy.”   JUNE 2023

The most amazing, relaxed week…..

“I have just had the most amazing relaxed week at the Bolthole Devon, this beautiful cottage is ideally placed for both Devon and Cornwall half an hour from Bude. Claire the owner is exceptional, got in touch with me throughout the week to ensure I had everything I needed, if you have a stressful job then I guarantee this is the best pace I've found to relax and unwind.”   JUNE 2023

Fantastic stay…..accommodation was immaculate….

”We have just arrived back after a family break at the Bolthole, we had a fantastic stay and our children(6&3) actually cried when it was our time to leave. The accommodation was immaculate and well equiped with lots of welcoming homely touches. The swimming pool was used by us daily and was an added bonus to our stay. We ventured out within a half hour radius and can highly recommend the nature trust - Lydford gorge for a forest adventure and to explore the waterfall! We also took the children for a day out at the Hidden Valley in launceston, which they loved! Lots of activities to get involved with, a maze and train ride were the biggest hit! We will definitely be returning :) the peaceful surroundings and decked area gave a nice escape and made the evenings very enjoyable once the children were in bed, listening to the birds and having some food and drinks whilst the sunset!”   MAY 2023

Beautifully decorated ….in a lovely location…

“Perfect place for a relaxing break. The property is beautifully decorated, comfortable and in a lovely location. The pool is a very short walk and situated next to a beautiful lake. Plenty to do in and around the area,, Holsworthy is worth a visit especially on Market day.”   MAY 2023

Absolutely lovely….thoroughly recommend a visit….

“Thank you so much Clare! Popped down for a few days away and absolutely loved it. A really nice site, and a very comfortable and clearly loved little escape! The Bolthole is cosy and beautifully furnished. It really was like a home from home! You’ve done an amazing job. Very thoughtful having the dog treats and “i’m on holiday” tag for Reggie! You really have thought of everything and I’ve come home feeling so relaxed. Will definitely be back. Thoroughly recommend a visit!”   MAY 2023

Loved the fishing and the pool…..a gem of a place…

“Well Clare, thanks for letting us stay at short notice. Hope we sent you enough pics and vids of the fish lol. we had fab two days with the granddaughter, she even loved the fishing and the pool. You have a gem of a place and would highly recommend, everything we needed in a lovely compact cottage, even down to the outside area set up. we need a break on our own now 🤣”    APRIL 2023

An amazing stay…..a beautiful part of the country….

“Wow! What an amazing stay we've just had at The Devon Bolthole!
The cottage is beautiful and was fully equipped and very comfortable for our stay. The property is well positioned for local amenities and is in such a beautiful part of the country.
The kids expecially loved the Swimming Pool and the Play Park and had lots of fun exploring!
Thank you for our wonderful stay - We'll definitely be back! xxx”   MARCH 2023
