lovely retreat in north devon
aromavon, hampshire
Review Submitted: January 16, 2008, Date of stay: November, 2007
I recently had the good fortune to choose this rental property for a break with some friends.
We wanted a quiet place to relax with some friends we had not seen for a long time. They had always wanted to visit North Devon and this provided the ideal base for exploring the area.
The welcome was warm and friendly and we soon felt relaxed after a lovely cream tea supplied by Angi our host.
The shippen where we stayed was immaculately clean throughout with beautiful decor, and there was special attention to detail in all the rooms...All in all, it was a relaxing and wonderful stay in Tim and Angi's lovely home.
