What a fabulous place to stay – spent a few days here for my daughter’s wedding with several members of the family and different houses. I was in the farmhouse and it was an amazing building - so will come in and loads of room for all the visitors . Everyone loved it and gave positive positive feedback about the site and the services. Debbie and Paul were very welcoming. There is lots to do here for all ages and the games room and Swimming pool were a hit! Clearly more than just a business – and I wish it was Home from Home !

The property

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
The only suggestion I have is to improve the mattresses as they were very soft and I prefer a medium firm due to back issues.

Would you return to Compton Pool?
Yes

Compton Pool is the place to go if you want to stay in excellent
accommodation, where everything you could need for self catering has been thought of, situated in the beautiful rolling hills of South Devon.
It is beautifully laid out, with well kept grounds, informally planted and very attractive. The extra amenities are cleverly placed around the site, so they don’t intrude on the landscape. Although near to Torbay, it is set inland down weaving country lanes and has an air of calm. The extra facilities provided make it an excellent place if you want to spend time on site and are especially good if you have young children, who need entertaining without having to keep jumping in the car!
You do need a car, but you can get a shop delivered to you accommodation by the big supermarkets. You can get onto the major A roads quite quickly, from where it is easy to get all over the area. There is a charging point for electric cars.
Compton Pool is by no means a cheap holiday, but you get what you pay for and we were 3 generations of family who all had a great time. We would love to think we would be able to return one day.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?

I cannot rate Compton Pool highly enough. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The cottage was imacculate and there were so many little touches that really made it feel like a home from home. There were quite a lot of us from 3 different households but we never felt like we lacked space or privacy. The pool, games room and small gym were great ways to spend the evenings and were well equipped. The location is excellent with lots of things to see and do nearby. We had a fantastic stay at Compton Pool and none of us wanted to leave at the end! Our deepest thanks to the owners who went above and beyond to make our family time together so special and memorable.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
The cottage was just stunning with lots of little touches to make it feel very homely and everything we could possibly need during our stay

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
Nope. It was perfect!

We had a three generation family holiday at Compton Pool.
We had Ambrook Cottage and Redlake cottage.
The welcome was warm and friendly.
The cottages were perfect for our needs and very well stocked. I think Debbie and Steve have nailed it as we had everything we needed and more.
The pool was clean and warm which was a real bonus on wet days for all the children.
They all loved the animals to feed, and the two boys were patiently taught to fish by Steve, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
There really is something for everyone,
age range late seventies down to 3yr old.
Plenty to do in the area, lots to see.
All things considered it was good value for money and we would recommend Compton Pool .

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
The freedom the boys had in a safe environment.

This is an amazing place to stay.Every need was catered for. Our 3 generation family loved Ambrook cottage. Plenty of on site facilities to keep everyone happy. Quiet and peaceful surroundings,yet only 10 minutes away to local amenities. Debbie and Paul deserve all the accolades. Going above and beyond to make our holiday enjoyable. We will hopefully return in the very near future. Our grand children did not want to leave. They loved the swimming pool, feeding the animals and playing chess. A big thank you to Debbie,Paul and Dexter.

Ambroke worked very well for our multi generation family. It was very comfortable and beds and sofas very relaxing. The boys had plenty of space to play indoors but were mostly outside with new friends swimming, in the games barn or on the outdoor climbing frame and trampoline.
The complex is very well suited to children and adults. We have been visiting since our sons were little so it’s satisfying to see another generation enjoying the splendid facilities.

Beautiful setting, well maintained, clean & tidy. Perfect size for our family. All equipment worked well and the plentiful supply of crockery, glasses, cutlery and pots and pans were as per the inventory. Washing machine was an added bonus with a young family. Going forward the cottage would benefit from some new sofas in the lounge as they are getting a bit saggy and low. We had a lot of flying insects (not flies), especially in the kitchen. Pool was great. The home made cake on arrival was appreciated. We had lovely weather for our stay, which always helps.

Ambrook is a wonderful, spacious cottage for up to 8 people (we were 7). Beds were really comfortable and the kitchen and living areas had everything we needed for a week's stay over the Christmas period. Debbie and Paul were very kind and thoughtful hosts, providing extra table and chairs for when others in our party staying in another cottage joined us for dinner. The Christmas welcome pack and decorations were spot on and the whole complex itself looked very festive.

The swimming pool was excellent and we enjoyed using it every day. Even though other cottages were in use, the walls were thick and we felt very secluded and able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
The recommended route really is the best way in and out, wherever you are coming from / going to. An extra big warning to definitely not use satnav or google for route planning might have helped our group find their way easier. Thankfully locals in Compton were helpful and provided torches and assistance as phone/data reception was patchy at best.

Would you return to Compton Pool?
Yes

Really nice break in a wonderful location. Just about everything was perfect and really appreciated being able to “customise” our booking dates! The only “nitpicking” feedback would mention some slightly tired cooking utensils and a somewhat dated hifi that none of us could operate via Bluetooth. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return!

All the amenities and quality accommodation

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
Some kitchen utensils and perhaps add some Sonos speakers!

Compton Pool Farm is a complex of farm cottages situated inland from Paington in lovely countryside. The standard of accomodation is excellent and the whole operation well run. The facilities are great for kids with indoor swimming pool, tennis court, swings ,trampoline and safe outside play areas. There is also an indoor play area with table football, billiards, etc for bad weather. Children will enjoy feed the animals every day. The owners and staff and very helpful and provide lots of useful information to help you enjoy your stay. Several good pubs close by and Dartmoor one way and the coast and beaches the other .
An excellent choice
