Hillfarrow Hideaway

Tiverton - Cottage

The Hideaway is outstanding, spotlessly clean and a real home from home. Hosts on site are extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The company managing the property were also friendly. The courtyard garden was great for our 3 dogs and very safe. It was nice that the dogs were made to feel welcome as some Airbnbs upon check in hit you with extra rules!!! There is actually a 2 ring hob in the kitchenette which we didn’t see mentioned in the description so that was a bonus. We will definitely be going back and cannot recommend highly enough.

So warm and cosy with a very comfy bed. Thank you for the warmth of the welcome on arrival and the offer of help should we have needed it. Excellent in all respects.

Brilliant use of wood around the property, loved all the quirky rustic features. Thank you for a warm friendly welcome, much appreciated😊

Everything was very clean and cozy. The only thing we didn't realize was that it was attached to the owners home, that wasn't a problem, just didn't want to be inconsiderate and loud, but other then that it was a perfect getaway and I would recommend anyone stay there!

A genuine bijou hideaway, tucked down a little lane just a couple of hundred yards from the A38, but you'd think you were in another world. There are a few neighbours, including a farm, but apart from a few geese getting excited, the occasional mooneigh, you'd never know. The photos show the stylishly fitted, comfortable interior that features lots of natural wood, including the amazing sliding doors on the bedroom and bathroom. The bed is unusual, with the feet end suspended from the ceiling via steel cables! (Be careful if you get up at night for the loo – the host provides a little torch at the bedside.) The bedroom also features a lovely electrically-operated blind for the upper portion of the window, which makes for a very atmospheric view of the moon and stars. Wi-Fi is good and the TV is modern and features the LG app, so you can connect with your iPhone. The 2-ring hob is an induction type, so if you bring any pots/pans of your own (though there are plenty already there), make sure they are compatible. The cooker is a multi-function microwave, so you can bakegrill as well as simply zap hot drinks etc. The kettle is very quick to boil and there is a toaster too. The bathroom is petite but spacious enough, with a decent walk-in Mira shower. Note that both the bathroom and kitchen sinks are powerful and beware, the water can become very hot – Emily the owner says she's going to address that. There's also a delightful little private courtyard area, with garden table, chairs and a parasol, lovely for breakfasta sunset dinner –just for drying towels and clothes! When it came to eating outside, unfortunately we had to negotiate with a family of wasps, and in the end abandoned our attempt: so, word to the wise, take insect repellant! But best of all was the wonderful host Emily, who was so helpful when we needed it and is just a lovely person. Highly recommended and we'll be back!

Down a quiet lane, a supremely comfortable bed with a lovely hot shower, this was everything we wanted. The instructions for getting there were spot on - satnav does indeed drop you off on the A38 so the extra instructions given were really helpful. The hosts were really helpful with advice for the area, but also left us to it whilst we’re were there. Had we not done everything we wanted to do in the area over the last 3 years, we’d go back again in a heartbeat!

Quite close to some good spots for dog walks and only about 45 mins from the beach. The hosts were super helpful and responsive and solved any issues for us straight away! We will definitely be back to visit.

Loved our stay at Hillfarrow. A beautiful space to relax after long days walking.
Perfect hosts :). Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very well designed and thought out property. Loved the oak doors! Beautifully clean, which was much appreciated. Great location for Exeter and Taunton and close to M5 for ease of travelling. Great hosts.

The perfect place to stay, excellent hosts.

A bijou residence, well decorated, with interesting natural wood features. Very helpful hosts - many thanks!
