Paul and Debbie run a good operation.

We stayed in the farmhouse last Easter and returned again in 2023. We would return again.

Everything works well; the kids love the animals; you can swim, play tennis, play football or walk around the pond; the play area was a favourite with our kids; there’s a pub and a National Trust property within walking distance!

Debbie and Paul are delightful and their friendliness adds to the whole appeal of the place.

We highly recommend!

This place is amazing, we staid in the farmhouse with friends and have young kids.
The heated pool was really warm and big, the animals went down a storm as did play park and massive chess set, not to mention the games room.
Very modern and classy, Hosts are lovely and couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful.
There is nothing I can fault and very good value considering all you get compared with other places I have been.
This truly is five star and lots of nice restaurants and pubs nearby.
Will be back 100 per cent,
Don’t miss out and book this place, you won’t regret it

We recently stay at Compton Pool in the farmhouse with friends. From the moment we arrived we were so impressed with everything! All the facilities were great, we had great fun in the pool, used the gym, and games room, played tennis, went fishing, fed the animals and walked to the local pub twice for dinner as the food was so good!
A very adult / child / teenage friendly holiday, with beautiful surroundings and excellent facilities. Will definitely return!

Thank you so much Debbie and Paul for welcoming us so warmly to your stunning property. Our festive break was everything we hoped it would be and more. The Farmhouse was so warm, comfortable, clean, beautifully furnished, brilliantly equipped and your attention to detail was impeccable. The Christmas decorations were gorgeous too. We absolutely loved cooking on the Aga and we enjoyed some wonderful family meals around the homely farmhouse dining table!! Big kids and small kids alike had great fun in the fabulous swimming pool, playing giant chess after haring around the play area, enjoying a spot of tennis, visiting the animals, and of course the games barn was a huge hit. Wonderful memories were made at Compton Pool Farm and we can't wait to visit you again in the future.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
Absolutely everything about it was spot on!

We have a wonderful stay at The Farmhouse it was clean, warm and beautifully furnished. The heated pool was great for a quick dip after a day out and about and we also walked up to feed the goats with the food provided on our last day. The surrounding countryside makes a lovely walk and we would highly recommend the Buckley Mill pub for lunch or dinner just a 10 minute stroll away.
The staff around the grounds were very helpful, polite and friendly and our two dogs were made to feel very welcome.
We really hope to return next year for another relaxing week ☺️

This was our third visit to Compton Pools (the first time under the current management) and we have always found it a great place to stay with our kids. This time we were in the very large farmhouse with another family and there was ample room for 4 adults and 5 boisterous kids with enough space to keep everyone happy.
The swimming pool is always great as are the play facilities, the addition of the pizza van on the first night has been fantastic. would thoroughly recommend it as a great place to stay and explore this part of Devon.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Farmhouse. The accommodation was everything we could have hoped for. Spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. We really enjoyed the tennis court, indoor heated pool, the trampoline in the childrens play area and feeding the farmyard animals. During our stay we cycled down the River Dart and walked up to Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor. We visited several National Trust properties and Totnes Saturday market. There is so much to do in the area!

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
Debbie and Paul have thought about absolutely everything and the whole property is maintained to a very high standard. We enjoyed our stay so much that our friends have booked again.

This is a home away from home. We have been here many times, the highlights are the 30° swimming pool, the farm animals, the play area and in this case, staying at the farmhouse! This five bedroom house has an aga, 3 seating areas and has a rustic but clean feel. Debbie was on hand at all times, and answered any of our questions. We will be returning again.

The Farmhouse was perfect for our group of 10, covering 3 generations. The house was spacious and immaculate and excellently equipped with plentiful crockery, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans etc, 2 dishwashers, a very large washing machine and a big tumble dryer, and 2 American style fridges, which made our stay very easy to manage. The facilities were well maintained and greatly enjoyed, particularly the pool, gym, games room and playground.
It is also well situated for visits to the coast and so many of Devon's tourist attractions while being beautifully rural and peaceful. We had such a lovely time, we have already rebooked for next year!

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
The excellently designed and equipped house.

Another fabulous time with extended family (3 generations) on our annual get together. Been visiting Compton Pool for 10+ years and it never fails to impress.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
The wonderful scenery (the view from the loo in the master bedroom is beautiful). The swimming pool and tennis court were well used. The yummie cakes on arrival too.

Is there anything you think needs improving at Compton Pool?
Paul and Debbie have already made improvements with new changing rooms in the pool and a lot of work going on within the grounds to make it easier to walk around the lakes. They are a credit to the place.

Would you return to Compton Pool?
Yes





A great stay for 3 generations of family

Nothing bad at all to say about the cottage, or farm as a whole. It’s surrounded by beautiful farmland. Pictures along the grounds and surrounding roads look like something from a Disney movie. The owners were lovey people who go out of their way to help you, which in my case included a ride into town. There was so much room within our cottage and everyone said they slept very well in the comfortable beds. And the entire place was spotless. Very well maintained inside and out.

Thank you to the owners and staff who must work very hard to maintain such a wonderful place!

We stayed as a family of ten in The Farmhouse at Easter 2022 to celebrate (belatedly) our Ruby Wedding anniversary. Debbie and Paul were friendly and very welcoming and the property was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Facilities on site were great and apart from one trip to the beach at Broadsands there was enough at Compton Pool to keep everyone happy and entertained. The children loved feeding the animals and the playground. Everyone loved the indoor pool (which we had to ourselves every time we used it) and the tennis court. It was great having our own large private garden with the property too. Debbie and Paul put on a Easter egg hunt for all the children and provided a free ice cream to them afterwards, which was lovely. We had fun managing the Aga, never having cooked on one before, and even prepared a full English breakfast for everyone on one morning and a roast Sunday lunch - after watching a couple of You Tube videos! The only tricky thing was adjusting the oven shelves. There was plenty of room round the table for us all in both the kitchen/dining area and in the conservatory. The grounds and gardens are well maintained and there are wonderful countryside views on all sides. Thankfully we were blessed with lovely weather throughout our stay. Not sure if it would have been quite so special had it been pouring with rain! Our eldest grandson (who is 8) told us that he absolutely loved it at Compton Pool because he felt so safe and free there. He didn’t want to leave. Our stay was joyous and memorable. Thank you Debbie and Paul.

What did you enjoy most about Compton Pool?
