A really lovely place to escape the busyness of life. Quiet and no light pollution, we had amazing nights sleeps! Nicely kitted out property, we loved relaxing in the gorgeous lounge.
Imagine it would be even nicer in summer!
Hot tub was great though we could have done with a bit more information on how to use it more efficiently. A couple of towelling robes would have been a nice addition too!
Overall a really great experience.
Six of us stayed at Sunnybrook, for 3 nights.There was ample of space for us all, kitchen amenities had everything you can think of. Could not access the online guest book, there was a hard copy at property but not sure if we missed any info such as how to work the oven but we managed it. We really enjoyed our stay and was blessed with good weather so that we could sit and enjoy the garden. Didn’t need to contact host however bumped into someone when we arrived. Host messaged to check everything was ok during stay.
Sunnybrook is an extremely well equipped and comfortable property. We were looking for somewhere peaceful as a base to explore the region and this fitted the bill perfectly.
First time in Devon and it was well worth it. The house was in a lovely location, quiet, remote and beautiful. A lovely walk down the the pubs (about 20 - 25 minute walk). All the locals were friendly and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. All in all 5 star weekend
Maison extrêmement bien agencée , disposant de toutes les facilités et commodités ( Cuisine full équipée, bbq, jacuzzi, parking, terrasse, machine à laver etc…). État général impeccable.
What a beautiful location, and what an inspiring and comfortable home. Loved the fact that it was carbon neutral. The garden was charming and the kitchen well equipped. The bedrooms are small but comfortable. The access track is a little narrow but was always accessible by car and foot. There are houses next door but it is a very quiet area. Amazing views over the countryside and river. Thank you!
We were v pleased as we arrived and everything got better and better. Loved the cabin and whole ethos. Perfect walk up and down to shaldon. Beds ver very comfortable and everything worked perfectly.
