“Simply perfect 'home from home' with so much to do nearby :)” Truly wonderful. Basically, the location was idyllic, the house had everything you could possibly need (honestly better equipped than my own kitchen), there were so many things to do around locally and further afield and at the beginning of the road before you get to the cottage is a gorgeous garden centre who do the most amaaaaaaaazing Devon Cream Teas. There were some items of local produce very kindly left for us and my daughter even got to go and help collect eggs from the chicken coop in the house at the end, it made her day :) I must also mention that the garden was beautifully kept too. We had such a happy time and would go back in a heartbeat :)

“The perfect bolt hole” Stokeleigh is situated in a beautiful area, off the beaten track and a car is essential. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and well equipped all adding to the relaxed and peaceful location. This was our third visit to Stokeleigh and we would hope to return yet again. South Hams area has so much to see and do and all within easy reach of the cottage.

“Excellent cottage - thoroughly recommended.” We have just returned from our second stay in Stokeleigh, and it was just as good as the first. We like the peaceful, "off the beaten track" location, but it is also centrally located for visiting all the main south Devon attractions. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable and well equipped. We thoroughly recommend it.

“Fantastic property in a wonderful location just the perfect place to relax.” We visit the South West twice a year and have thoroughly enjoyed our most recent stay at Stokeleigh. The property was comfortable and really well equipped, a beautiful conversion. We will be back in the South Hams again next year and would love to stay at Stokeleigh again, we're just waiting for our holiday dates to be confirmed.

“Great cottage in a wonderful location.” The owners of Stokeleigh are a delight to deal with giving all the help and assistance you could ask for. The property is first class being located on a quiet farm in the idyllic South Hams district. We particularly liked the spacious first floor living area. With so much to do in Devon, a week was insufficient so we have already decided to return at some point in the future. If you like a quiet and peaceful holiday but love days out to explore, you can't do better than staying here. Good value for money.
