Quite simply an extraordinary Self Catering holiday!
"Newbarn Farm? a gem in the countryside of Devon. We were welcomed with smiles after a long tedious journey and we fell in love with Poachers and immediately felt at home. Little things mean a lot, the fresh flowers, tea and coffee for those who come unprepared. Waking up in the morning with sun streaming in through the window, the beautiful views and birds singing have made this a lovely relaxing holiday for us both. Just getting more laid back by the day. We will definitely return. Thank you Catherine & Richard, Poachers is great! Our future bolt hole!"
You can see what our guests say at Anglers Rest, Dartmoor View, Lambs Gate, Oaktree these are scans of the actual visitors books, you can see the real thing when you come. We will add the other cottages as we can.
All of “our guests” can’t be wrong
It doesn’t matter what time of year you come
“The most relaxing Christmas. Mince pies with clotted cream, Port as well and a real Christmas tree on arrival much appreciated. Lots of things to do in local area! Zoo great and walk up to Canonteign Falls in snow well worth it! Local pool / sauna / steam room added bonus. Thanks for an excellent holiday"
