We wsh to thank Debbie & Paul for our lovely holiday in Compton Pool Farm, early Aug 2024. My husband and I were impressed from the moment we arrived.
The layout of their site is beautiful and the standard of the accommodation is excellent. When booking online you hope it will be good, but the reality exceeds expectations. Every facility listed is of a very high standard and very well maintained. A lot of thought has gone into each feature. The gardens and animals are a delight as is the countryside in which the site is located. The arrangement of each of the cottages relative to each other, provides privacy and a very relaxed atmosphere for both families and couples alike. The whole place has a lovely vibe and we hope to be able to holiday there again in the future and would recommend to it to all.

We had a really lovely stay in Bow cottage. You could not ask for better equipped accommodation: everything was of great quality too. The cottage was immaculately clean, as were all the facilities, such as the pool, games room and gym.
The setting was spectacular. We loved feeding the pigs and goats and got to appreciate their different personalities.
The owners were lovely: friendly and on hand if needed.
We could not have asked for more.

Everything you need is on site, with the warmest indoor swimming pool we have ever used and so clean. Tennis court and fishing lake in good weather or indoor table tennis, pool table, xbox or gym when weather inclement. Plus feeding their pigs, goats, rabbits and their new Pony. Cottage clean and well equipped. Lovely welcome pack with yummy cake.

We liked it so much that we booked Bow Cottage for 7 nights for just my husband and myself. We were very happy with all the amenities and loved the little cottage.

We have stayed in Bow two years running. A very sweet one bedroom cottage. Debbie arranged for extra dining chairs so that our two grandchildren and parents could join us for dinner each night. We would then clear up and start the dishwasher while the family went back to their own cottage and got the children ready for bed. This worked very well for us. Bow is very well appointed and very clean. The courtyard is a delight at Easter when a flowering crab apple tree is in full bloom, and then provides shade later on. The courtyard gets lots of sun, even late in the afternoon.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
Immaculate heated indoor swimming pool, the grandchildren really enjoyed this and going in with the rabbits. Having our OWN cottage for quiet times first thing in the morning with my husband rather than full on with the family all the time!

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
Don’t know

Would you return to Compton Pool?

Perfect for a 2 year old & perfect for parents too!

We had the best time at Bow cottage. Everything was perfect - and it's not often I get to say that ! Since we had our little boy we have been away a couple of times and it's simply been stressful due to the facilities/ sleeping arrangements/ location etc not being right. If you are looking for a holiday with little ones this is ideal. So many things to do in sub an hours car drive away, in addition to that animals and a playground to fill those early mornings when the toddler is up but the world is still closed !! The place was immaculate with lovely touches like a cake and milk in the fridge on arrival. Our little boy loved looking out of the stable door at all the animals, listening to the bird song and feeding the rabbits. We didn't even make it to the pool but it looked stunning. We will return.

Beautiful cottage in a very well thought out setting, amenities very welcome especially heated swimming pool for morning swim! Host provided a lovely cake and tea and coffee tray on arrival and introduced themself which doesn't always happen. Appreciated after a long journey. All cookware was good quality and everything was nicely set up and clean. Loved the animals and the space around the cottage.

We have always been fond of the South Hams area and Compton is well placed to visit our favourite places: Dartmoor to the North and Torbay to the South.

Plenty to do at cottages, for all weather and all ages. Swimming pool warmest we've ever had and beautifully clean. Tennis court in excellent full size condition. Pigs, goats and rabbits very entertaining. Lakes currently being restored and already looking lovely with plenty of Rudd and Roach to catch, for pleasure anglers or grandparents showing grand kids. Loads to do within half hour drive and plenty more further away.

Greatly enjoyed our second visit to Compton Pool Farm Cottages and now in the process of booking again for next year.
Beautiful countryside, peaceful cottage location, with friendly and helpful staff.
Was so lovely being able to have a swim each morning in a heated indoor pool followed by breakfast on the patio where we watched robins feeding their young in a nest hidden way in a bush beside the cottage door. Really appreciated the clothes airer to hang our swimming things on. Very relaxing to sit out in the evening and enjoy a glass after a busy day. .Having good weather was a real bonus.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
It felt like coming home when we arrived

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
Not really. Sadly the access roads are very narrow and a bit scary but that's not the fault of Compton Pool .

We absolutely love staying at Compton Pool. The location is perfect and although you feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere it’s just a short drive to the coastal towns and villages in the area. The site is suitable for oldies like my hubby and I, or families. The amenities are great and everything is catered for in the cottages, even a BBQ for those warm summer evenings. Debbie, Paul and Dexter are perfect hosts and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The lake is so much more accessible now and we regularly saw a heron and the cute ducklings.

All in all, the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.

An amazing week stay at Compton Pool Farm it was as relaxing or as busy as we wanted. Debbie and Paul provide absolutely everything you need to ensure you have a good stay in self ctering accommodation. The added bonus are the animals the pigs, goats and rabbits who wait to greet you every morning. The grounds are kept pristine by the gardeners and Sue and Mark keep things clean and maintained. Loved the swimming pool so clean with showers and changing rooms plus loungers if weather hot to lay outside. There is also a games room and exercise room if you are feeling energetic. From these beautiful grounds we explored Devon but always knew we were returning to a lovely place thankyou to all who made our stay once again perfect.

All ten of the Compton Pool rentals are very good, we have looked in many of them. Our old cottage had delightful ancient character, married with very contemporary fitments and furnishings. It was ideal for us, since it is one bedroom; our family rented Torr, a detached 3 bed/2 bath log cabin just across the lawn. So, we had peaceful starts each morning then enjoyed the day with the two year old etc! The grounds of 14 acres include a pretty pond, fenced off from the main lawn.
Facilities are very good, kept immaculately, and we often just shared the indoor heated pool with just one family. The owners Debbie and Paul have provided some nice pool toys too. Hopefully the chickens will be back when allowed, our granddaughter last year really enjoyed finding an egg for breakfast. Good play structures, not too near the rentals, and a well equipped games room with ping pong, pool, boxed games etc.
On arrival a tea tray was laid out and a nicely wrapped fresh cake with milk in the fridge, thoughtful touches that we appreciated.
We have all rebooked for next year!

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
Peacefulness, privacy, modern decor to a high standard, feeding the farm animals, playing in the heated pool with family. Also the spectacular crab apple tree at our cottage, full of blossom and buzzing gently all day!

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
A comfortable garden chair, like those at the pool patio, would be appreciated. I had bought a beach chair, so used that when wanting to slouch with my coffee rather than sit up at the garden table and chairs.

Would you return to Compton Pool?
Yes
