We went as a family of 5 adults, two grandchildren and 5 dogs... yes chaos! The home and the surroundings were just stunning, from the roads (a little narrow at times .. makes one hold their breath) , our daughter in law got out of the car and just said "oh lordy" and our son decided it would be good to drive his suburu along the roads leading to the cottage! The home was wonderful, a great welcome basket was left for us to enjoy, the local supermarkets delivered and the Chinese (Little Asia) delivered our final meal of the week. The games room also gave easy on site fun. Paighton and Fairy Cove (dog friendly) are close by for day to day family entertainment. Brixham is about 40 mins away with their fabulous fresh caught local fish market, harbour, beaches and walks. Just too much to explore in one week. The hot tub is great to ease the achy muscles. All in all a fabulous place and one to return to.

Can’t recommend enough! Our family and our 2 dogs had a wonderful stay. Stunning setting, very warm and comfortable with a freshly lit fire welcoming us on arrival along with a basket of yummy goodies. Everything we needed was there and everything was all spotless. We’d love to return! Thank you Sarah & James for such a fabulous stay!

We booked this at quite short notice but it seemed ideal for us. We are a family of 4 with 2 dogs - one of whom is disabled so that dictates the houses that we book. The gardens at the house were ideal for her in her wheels and inside was easy for her to navigate. The weather was great except for the last day - although I was a bit gutted that we didn't get to use the log burners!
The kitchen was probably one of the best equipped that we've seen and the house was comfortable. There was a minor issue with the heating (one radiator wanted to stay on!) but the owners were quick to pop in and try to fix it. It's worth noting that the main bedroom was on the hot side due to the boiler but we just left the window open (I bet that's great in winter but in those hot few weeks we had it would have been unbearable). Providing dog towels, beds and toys was great and the welcome hamper was lovely - the dogs particularly loved those treats!

Loved feeding the fish - they were like piranhas when you threw food in! So funny.

Hot tub was great.

It's a lovely area - although I think we found every narrow lane imaginable! We haven't seen everything so we will return.

Two families with young children stayed here very comfortably. Lovely setting and everything you could possibly need. We took our dog who was also very well catered for with a bed, bowls, treats and toys! We got a food shop delivered with no problem.

Beautiful, quiet and spacious, highly recommend. The lane either side takes a little getting used to, if you have a big vehicle then you need to be confident manoeuvring if you meet another car. But then that's true of all of this part of Devon! Thank you for a lovely time, we'll be back.

We were a family of 6 adults two children and five dogs and there was something for everyone. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we had the best time ever. The house is lovely, welcoming and cosy and has everything you could need. The bedrooms are so pretty and spacious and I slept so well in the super comfy beds. The amenities in the garden were excellent, the children loved pond dipping in the pond and playing on the slide. The hot tub was lovely for the adults and we made full use of it, we used the bar b ques and enjoying eating outside, such a peaceful and relaxing setting.Sarah and James were amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We have made some lovely memories that will last a lifetime and I would 100% return. Thankyou so much

We had a family holiday at this cottage, Sarah was extremely helpful leading up to the stay in Devon and also whilst we were there. She was so friendly and helpful with places ti visit in the surrounding area.

Nothing was ever top much trouble and she makes you feel very welcome and at home, the cottage was really comfortable and had everything that you could ask for.

This grade 2 listed cottage is like something out of our dreams. From the moment we walked in we fell in love with the cottage. And then we walked through the front door walked to the back and opened the door onto the most picturesque scene. The photos don't do it justice.
We enjoyed every minute of it and didn't go that far from it.
The lanes to get to the cottage and barn are very narrow but it added to the charm.
There are a couple of things that need looking at which the owners know about and are waiting for specialists to be available to fix but it didn't in packed on our stay. The dogs enjoyed the walks, the dog beds, the toys and treats that were provided for them. We were grateful for the towels and shampoo that were left for the dogs too.
The children loved being in the boat on the pond with us parents rowing. They also loved the swing set and slides that were provided.
Sarah and James went above and beyond to help make our stay as wonderful as it was and we all want to say a big thank you to them both.
Fletchers Combe you have stolen our hearts and we will be back soon.

Booked this stunning traditional Devon farmhouse to accommodate family visiting from Canada and the wider UK. What an absolute gem of a property! Space and comfort for us all plus 4 dogs, and the setting is just idyllic and beautiful. The welcome from the hosts, Sarah and James, was warm and generous, and everything for a comfortable stay has been thought of. Because there were no bookings either directly before or after us, we were offered both early and late check out which was most generous and we took full advantage of this. The children loved the games room, garden play equipment and of course, the lovely hot tub! Our stay was just perfect and we made so many beautiful memories. Thank you Sarah and James, we will definitely return soon :)

Fletchers Combe is situated in idyllic countryside although narrow lanes to get there.
Our family get together was perfect with the boating pond being a big hit with the children and the barbecue equipment and hot tub a hit with all of us.
Sarah and James were lovely hosts and the welcome pack delicious.

What a fabulous week away. We received a very warm welcome from the hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was cosy and every need had been considered. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was warm and welcoming and the extensive garden and fields offered something for everyone. We had a fantastic break. Many thanks.

We had the best half term at Fletchers Combe farmhouse. We enjoyed exploring the farm and James and Sarah were great at advising us on the nature and local area. We were even lucky enough to help to move the cattle! The children loved feeding the fish and paddling in the boat, the outside play area and the games room. There’s so much to do nearby. We visited the butterfly and otter sanctuary, Dartmouth, Torquay and a number of local beaches but we were quick to return to FC to relax in the hot tub and by the fire in the lounge/kitchen to watch a film.

A gorgeous cottage to celebrate a BIG birthday with my family. The house and location is even more beautiful in reality. All communication with Sarah prior to our holiday was perfect.
We loved the house and had fun in the games room and hot tub. The children enjoyed sitting in the little boat on the pond and my son in laws even dared a short swim in it My daughters arranged with Sarah to check in slightly early and decorated the cottage with balloons and banners to surprise me on arrival too❤️ Loved Fletcher's Combe (and so did our cocker spaniel Bo) x

We had a really lovely family get together at Fletchers Combe. When we arrived we were greeted with Champagne and welcome food. What a lovely thought! We met the hosts who made us feel very welcome and at home, nothing was too much trouble. We really had the best time, there was something for everyone. We spent evenings in the hot tub, around the fire pit, having a bbq, in the games room. Our two dogs had the best time in the large garden and were so happy with all the biscuits treats and toys that were there for them. It was so peaceful and tranquil as well but not far away from all the lovely beaches and towns. We really cannot recommend staying here enough. Thank you.

A lovely spacious farmhouse with beautiful views overlooking the valley, garden and pond, definitely off the beaten track! Well equipped with a Games room and hot tub, both good for entertaining the children. Well situated for local attractions, approx 30mins to the coast. We arrived late so it was very welcome to find the heating on and some goodies for us left by the hosts.

My extended family and I had the most wonderful stay, the accommodation and grounds were absolutely lovely and we will most definitely be back. The owners were so welcoming and friendly and the surrounding area just like paradise. We could not have wished for a more secluded, beautiful and peaceful environment to recover from the last year. Waking up to the horses on the left, cows on the right and birds feeding, bliss!

It was an added bonus to meet the lovely Dr Mugford and his son who helped us with our dogs.

Fletchers Combe Farmhouse is beautifully situated in stunning countryside in the lovely South Hams. Our Cockerpoo loved her muddy dog walks from the Farmhouse door and we appreciated the enclosed garden (not always the case in rental properties for dogs!). There is also a pond area and lots of paths and lanes to explore. We really appreciated the log burners which kept us cosy and the plentiful supply of logs. The farmhouse was interestingly furnished with lots of pictures, mainly featuring dogs of some description, great showers and comfortable beds! James and Sarah were really helpful particularly with the uncertainties at the time of booking. Thank you!

I could be here for hours describing the absolute perfection that was our holiday in Devon thanks to Fletchers Combe Farm and everyone that worked there. Deep in the heart of no-where for crystal clear skies with loads of stars at night and silence that lets you sleep like a baby, yet close enough to Totnes, amazing beaches, great villages and a wealth of good eating places means Fletchers has it all.
We spent days wandering in grounds surrounding the farm, others reading books in their lush garden, evenings infront of the fire, or long nights talking at their brilliant dining table in the kitchen. Beautiful comfy beds, great shower and bath facilities, lush couches, outdoor BBQ, perfectly stocked kitchen and every last little detail you could imagine thought of. Nothing has been missed in this property and the team working there are so welcoming and happy to help with whatever you need. Plus a plethora of info on the local area and services.
Not to mention for dog owners its a virtual paradise, treats, toys, games, facilities and grounds to keep your hound happy for days.
If I could make Fletchers an annual retreat from the chaos of life and spend time away from it all I'd be there in a second. Not forgetting that that in these crazy Covid times they have all the necessary health and safety systems in place and are very carefully following government guidelines. No issues with social distancing here!
Book now, you wont regret it.

The website with directions was down, both the night before and on our day of arrival, so finding the house was a little difficult. The house is down very, very tight lanes. Was glad I had not brought my big Mercedes! It would have been scratched to pieces. Also the driveway was not very kind to cars with a low skirt as there were large holes in bottom of drive!
Farmhouse was clean and tidy and had a very welcome selection of fruit, wine, soft drink, cookies and a cake. All locally sourced, a nice touch.
The decor was ok, but it seriously needed some TLC ! There was damp on ceilings, crumbling plasterwork in the en-suite, which also had a cracked basin that leaked, the main bathroom shower on our third night completely gave way and so were no longer able to use it. My daughter complained that her bed ( front double right-hand room) was extremely uncomfortable with a big ‘dip’ in the middle. Both fridges were not working properly ( there was obviously a blockage or something, as water was constantly building up on the floor of each fridge).
But, the house was lovely and warm, the living room was cosy and comfortable, the kitchen, despite it’s drenching from broken shower was a very pleasant room too.

We were a party of 6 plus 2 active spaniels and found Fletchers Combe Farm to be a lovely based for a chilled New Year get together based around walking and cycling. James & Sarah were super helpful in seeing in our food delivery on the day we arrived. The house preparation was welcoming with the heating turned on, a very thoughtful welcome pack and a lovely Christmas tree. The house had the feel of a proper home with the kitchen equipped with all you could want. The decor was beautifully in keeping with the house and we loved the wing chairs either side of the log burner in the kitchen. As for the dogs, they were in heaven, with their own towels, treats, 3 types of shampoo and boxes of toys but none of that was as fun as the secure grounds and the great walk across the fields from the back door. Sadly the Aga was not working, but with the heating on and the log burners, the house was warm and comfortable. The week went too quickly and we were sad to leave. Wifi is a bit slow and there is no mobile signal but that's probably not uncommon for this area.

If like us you have sometimes struggled to find holiday accommodation if you have more than 2 dogs then this is the place for you. Quite simply the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever had in a beautiful location with plenty of glorious walks on your doorstep or even more stunning walks if you want to get in your car and travel a little further afield to Dartmoor or the coast. The help we had from Di and Tim (plus from Roger and Emily as the result of a slight dog emergency) was above and beyond. Our thanks to all for a fantastic and delightful stay, that went all too quickly.

We had a fabulous long weekend at Fletechers Coombe to celebrate our mums 75th Birthdays. There were 6 of us and we all thought that the farmhouse was just beautiful. It was homely and comfortabel, the beds and linen were of excellent quality and very comfortable. The grounds and location of the property are so lovely and very peaceful. We couldn't have asked for more. Di was very helpful throughout the booking and it was lovely to meet her while we were there and the customer care continued while we stayed, she was very helpful....and the yummy carrot cake on arrival was a lovely touch. The house had everything that we needed. We would definitley recommend this property and would love to return. It was a good loction for exploring Dartmouth and Dartmoor and the surrounding areas.

It was a pleasant and comfortable property, which became very cosy with the wood burner alight. Possibly the middle of February is not the best time to visit as it was not conducive to getting full enjoyment of the outside environment. The Games Room certainly was well used. Our only criticism is that there are no hooks in the en-suite bathroom which meant taking the towel stand in from the bedroom rather than putting clothing on the floor.

We had a fabulous week in this spacious comfortable farmhouse. For such a lovely place to be dog friendly was an added bonus for us. Beautiful walks from the door, in an idyllic peaceful location. The road leading to the house is very narrow, but you soon get used to it! It definitely won’t put us off returning to such a wonderful place!

The farmhouse at Fletchers Coombe is perfect for a large family or group. The house is cosy but also spacious. All 4 bedrooms are great. The gardens are amazing.

The location is remote so you feel hidden away but it’s easy to drive to reach the beach or the National Park.

Highly recommend.

Spent 10 days here with four dogs. Accommodation is exceptional; homely yet furnished in a very thoughtful and individual way and it soon became 'our home' (I wish!). We were surrounded by beautiful things in an idylllic setting. Wildlife is fantastic; I have never seen so many specieis of songbird in one place. The fenced garden is really lovely but note that the paddock is not secure for adventurous dogs! We did find walks a bit difficult because to access them you have to walk along the very narrow road and also the stock seemed to be moved around rather a lot. Totnes is nice to visit, also Dartington Hall. We loved the games room too. All in all a very restful place and nothing was too much trouble for Di. Highly recommended.

Absolutely everything was perfect from start to finish, even the rain couldn't spoil our stay, we only wish we had booked for longer and would definitely go back again.

We stayed in the farmhouse with our 3 children 11,9 and 6. Had a brilliant time! House had everything we needed and lots of home comforts. Lovely rooms- great website still doesn't do it justice. Di and her husband were professional, friendly and helpful in sorting out a heating issue in the first day. Boys loved boating on pond,games room and bikes. Dog loved beautiful walks on the doorstep. Spotted deer in adjacent field. It is remote and the final track a bit hairy but that added to the charm. Local area packed with low cost things to do. All of us very sad to leave and already looking at we can return.

Perfect house and grounds and location. It was very tempting to spend the whole holiday just at the house - lovely garden, terrace, pond etc. and great walks straight from the property. Every single room is lovely. Our (clean and (mostly) well-behaved) dogs were very welcome and the enclosed front garden meant we could relax. Well equipped; clean; warm. Welcome cake most appreciated!! We didn't leave ourselves enough time to make use of the excellent games room - thankfully we had great weather, so spent our waking hours outdoors.

We really loved our week away at Fletchers Combe and were really impressed with the level of detail regarding our comfort. Loved the carrot cake, the soap dispensers, the roll top bath, the boat on the pond (my nearly 10 year old particularly loved this!) the luxurious sofas and the mattresses on the beds were cloud like! We all slept so well! Di and her husband were very responsive to our questions and queries and lovely people to boot. The garden was amazing and beautifully kept with fruit trees, grasses, pond plants and much more. It was eden, and we felt we'd really got away from it all.

We felt very cut off in terms of communication - our phones did not pick up any signal - even if we walked to the gate or further up the road. Not our host's fault at all - more down to BT mobile! However, our eldest son has a life threatening allergy and we have a very over active 7 year old. We weren't too sure how we would deal with an emergency if one arose and this made us slightly anxious. It would be great to have phone in the house for this purpose. Maybe with an honesty box to cover costs or a pay phone? Not sure what would work best but this would have reassured us a little.

The reason I have given a 'ok' for location was because we hadn't quite appreciated how precarious/limiting the route to the cottage would be. Walking on the road, especially if a car came round the corner, was very risky. There was no room to get out of the way if needs be. For this reason, we chose not to cycle with the children from the house. Also, due to young bulls in the fields around us, we weren't able to walk cross country. On speaking to a farmer (we think) with a dog one morning he kindly explained that there was a lively bull he was trying to herd through with no success. He suggested that we were particularly careful with the children. So again, we decided not to take the risk.

My husband also had an unfortunate encounter on the final day, when a local family (we know this as they asked if my husband was local and when he said no, they said they were and asked him to move) demanded that he backed over half a mile uphill and around corners when they had just passed a passing place further down the lane. Despite asking them if they would mind backing a short distance down hill to the nearby passing place, they refused. I would imagine that being local they are relative experts at backing up down the lane whereas my husband certainly isn't! Very stressful and sadly this coloured how we felt about the accessibility of Fletchers Combe.

Really can't praise Fletchers Combe enough. Felt at home as soon as we arrived. It's a beautiful farmhouse, decorated authentically, and decorated as a home rather than a holiday home. Farmhouse kitchen, luxurious showers, roll top bath, and four poster beds made us feel instantly relaxed. All helped of course by the amazing location. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, and countryside, both my family, and my dogs, loved trying out the walks recommend by the owners.
Really think we've found our perfect holiday getaway!

Amazing stay at Flethers Combe Farmhouse, we were wow'd from the moment we pulled into the driveway.....the house is beautiful as are the grounds. It was very clean, spacious, and full of character. Outside was great for the two toddlers and dog, completely secluded and safe for them to run around. Fletchers Combe was just perfect & we are already looking to book up again - we couldnt have asked for anything more, we loved it! :-)

On arrival we all had the WOW! Factor. A lovely big farmhouse with lots of character, furnished very well to suit the character of the house. Loved the "His Masters Voice gramophone" with Nipper the dog, would have been great to have played some old records on it.

We loved the log burners too, the smell of woodsmoke really added to the authenticity of the place.
Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed, the carrot cake was to die for thank you, with a lovely big table with loads of space for us all (7 adults) to sit round.

Plenty of books, DVDs, games if you need them,satellite television in both kitchen and lounge.
We had a baby and a dog with us, both were catered for very well with a travel cot supplied (on request) for baby and doggy bits and bobs for the dog. Also had a secure garden for the dog.

We also used the games room which was great, hadn't played ping pong or bar football for years.

The only down side was the access, very narrow country lanes.
That aside, we all throughly enjoyed our stay at Fletchers Combe Farmhouse.

Thank you

Wonderful location, once you have found it! Really hidden away, a gem. Very well thought out as to what families may need inc good quality bats, balls, games room etc. Incredible amount of bird life. Beauty all around. A Jane Austen type home. (mind your head on the low doorways) You can do walks from the house and there is plenty to do in Devon anyway. Idyllic is the word!

Our friends were delighted with the location and style of accommodation. As a party of i6 we were especially pleased with the two areas where we could eat together. The rooms were individually very comfortable and we found everything we needed. Could not ask for better from such a place, and our friends really enjoyed the ambiance and surrounding countryside. We also were very grateful to the housekeeper who could not have been more helpful.

Wow, what a amazing stay, can not fault the place, the location and such lovely friendly people.
The house was so nice and clean inside and outside with the garden and picturesque views.
Both Di and Simon are lovely people who are so helpful, I just can not big up this place enough.
I would highly recommend this to anyone if you want a brilliant time away with lots of local attractions so near aswell.
Will be back with family and cant wait to re visit

Our stay was a rare opportunity to get all the family together and it could not have been a more stunning venue, inside and out, from the roaring fire to the roll-top bath, the sumptuous beds, the big kitchen table, the wonderful garden teeming with wildlife and the myriad of beautiful walks without having to go near your car... what's not to like? The manager, the lovely Di, was so accommodating and welcoming to us and our dogs and it immediately felt like home... albeit it far nicer!

Spent the weekend in the luxurious barn - superb accommodation set in beautiful country side. Everything you want and need is there really is home from home comforts. Only problem we had is our 16 year old daughter wanted to stay and live there!!

The Farmhouse at Fletcher's Combe was lovely and homely, very cosy and welcoming and winter is a great time to stay to utilise the two log burners and the aga.

The location was good for exploring Devon, Totnes not far at all by car and the surrounding countryside was beautiful and great for walks with the dogs. It could be a bit tricky to find - We managed OK with our sat nav and the directions provided on the website however the Tesco delivery man got hopelessly lost and was 2 hours late, even the local Indian restaurant which is recommended in the guest book to deliver there had to call us for directions when he got near. The mobile reception is very poor as well and there is no landline in the house which doesn't help.

The games room was better than expected and the beds comfortable.

Di was really helpful in providing information prior to our stay she is really friendly and gets back to you super quickly. Another plus is how accommodating she is about dogs staying, even providing a nice welcome pack for them too! We also had a really lovely Christmas surprise of sweets, biscuits and pannatone waiting for us humans on arrival - Thanks Di!

The only negative comments surround the kitchen equipment - A lot of appliances weren't in the best of condition and could do with replacing. It was also a bit disappointing to find that many of the utensils, pots, pans and crockery needed a really good scrub before they could be used.

Apart from that we had a lovely stay and made the most of the facilities and cosy comfortable environment!

Hello Miranda. Thank you so much for submitting a review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay (and the Christmas treats!) and thanks for the lovely comments on the house. I'm really sorry you experienced problems with some of the small appliances and had some issues with cleanliness of utensils. I will ensure that everything is thoroughly checked and replacements made as necessary. We are actually closed for the first two weeks of February for a new Howdens Kitchen to be fitted and I was planning on replacing a lot of kitchen equipment then. I do hope you'll return to see the transformation! We are aware that the kitchen in the Farmhouse has not been up to scratch so I have made it a priority for the coming season. Many thanks again for coming to Fletchers. Kindest regards, Di.

Beautiful house

I don't think I can sum up our experience of Fletchers Combe any better by explaining that this was our third (and hopefully not last, by far) visit! We have previously stayed as a large group at Fletchers Combe Barn, which has made for some very enjoyable and very memorable family holidays.

This time, being only a group of four (plus two four-legged friends), we opted to stay at the Farmhouse, and we were not disappointed at all. Offering a different, but still fantastic, experience, we would definitely return to either choice of accommodation again.

From piling in visiting family members and holding BBQs for 20 people (and never tripping over each other at any point) in the Barn, to a cosy night in with the woodburner in the Farmhouse, our stays have been nothing but perfect on every occasion. Always very clean and welcoming on our arrival, with all the necessities to hand, Di does a brilliant job preparing for your stay and is always at-hand (but at an unobtrusive distance) if you need anything. With welcome packs full of information on local activities and amenities, acres of land at your fingertips, and even a selection of local takeaway menus, you're ready for your holiday from day 1, whether you opt to stay in and relax, or make the most of the nearby areas.

The family dogs also give the place their furry thumbs up - with fenced-in gardens, plenty of walking routes, and even the doggy essentials on hand (crates, bowls, even poo bags just in case!), it's the perfect dog-friendly holiday. A 25 minute drive to dog-friendly beaches, several dog-friendly pubs nearby, and if you do decide to have a bit of 'me' time, there are nearby kennels or pet-sitters to give you the chance to explore the venues that don't allow those of the canine type.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fletchers Combe for all manners of holidays, whether it's small groups, large parties, with or without dogs. And we certainly hope to be back again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay in June/July 2015
Di was very helpful, came to see us when we first arrived, explained everything and answered any questions. Was about every day and would help if needed.
The cottage is nearer a 10 minute drive from the main road as the roads are very narrow, and keep your fingers crossed nothing coming the other way. But a beautiful location, very quiet and very relaxing. The duck pond outside the back door was always teeming with wildlife, from moorhens to dragon flies, and a constant source of pleasure to Milly our labradoodle.
The farmhouse was both well maintained, clean and spacious. Wifi was a bit hit and miss, but generally was fine, and for a telephone signal I had to walk to the top of the garden, but we were on holiday and making phone calls was not a priority.
Good games room with table tennis, skittles and table football. Totnes a nice town with a wide range of different shops and plenty of local pubs serving good food.
Would strongly recommend this property

Second time we come here from France, really an amazing place ! Very calm and quiet, the best sleeping nights ever ! Lovely settings and furniture, fully equipped inside and outside, everything is made to make you feel comfortable and "at home". Stunning views around. We also enjoyed the games room ! Great location for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying peace and quiet. Close to the coast and beaches, lots of things to do and visit around... And many thanks to Di for her warm welcome !
