⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A beautiful home from home which was perfect for our Easter family break. The house was beautiful and in an idyllic setting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most wonderful time at the cottage. Everything was as expected and more with the cottage being spotless and absolutely beautiful. From the fantastic house to the hot tub to The Pigs Nose (a short walk) to the amazing coastal path walk to Salcombe and even an October swim in the sea; we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for such a special weekend. 🙂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great stay at 8 Moor Farm, a lovely house, we all slept well, cosy living room, spacious house, fun board games, hot tub, beautiful garden, friendly neighbours. Mill beach was great, the boats over to Salcombe were fun (and dog friendly). Beesands and Slapton a must visit - so much history. We all had the best time including our greyhound who was safely secure in the garden - I would highly recommend to others and would love to come again.
