Honiton holiday cottage: Hemyock

This cottage holds a very special place in our hearts, we stayed for the week we got married and then returned a year later for our anniversary. The cottage is so well equipped and with such beautiful surroundings that we spent many a happy evening relaxing, which was lucky as there isn't really a pub nearby that you can walk to. That is the only negative thing I can say. I love the chickens that visited our doorstep every day for a treat and whistle's daily visit was so sweet.
Beer (the village that is) became our favourite place to eat both during the day and for our anniversay evening meal. The Italian restaurant and the Indian restaurant are very nice we highly recommend these, also nice pubs in this village looking out over the harbour.
The Machin family are very obliging and will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable, you are always welcome to join in the feeding of the animals which is a big plus if you have children, but they will also leave you to enjoy your stay.
My husband and I have stayed in many cottages in Devon over the years and this one is the only one we have stayed in twice and would most definitely stay again in the future.

My partner and I enjoyed a perfect long weekend at Windover Farm Cottage. The cottage itself is exactly as it appears in the photos - it is superbly equipped and very clean. It strkes a great balance between maintaining traditional features and providing all the mod cons you need. We particularly enjoyed coming back to the log burner in the living room after a day out walking or sightseeing. The area in which the cottage is located is beautiful and cottage has great views from every window. You certainly feel like you are in the midst of the countryside with the hens in the garden and the sheep opposite! The real value and recommendation with this cottage is in the extras; the fabulous sponge cake which is freshly baked, the sausages, the eggs, the milk, the fresh flowers and the welcome from Sarah.
The nearest pub or restaurant is just under a couple of miles away so you do need to have a car to get about. I would have no hesitation in returning to Windover Farm Cottage and would recommend it to couples and families.

The cottage surpassed our expectations and the setting was wonderful. Much has been written already about the cleanliness, the setting, the welcome, chickens supplying fresh eggs and the farm generally. All of that true, but just as important was the willingness of Sarah and Sheamus to bend over backwards to ensure that our stay was perfect.

We spent two weeks at Windover Cottage and would recommend it andthe Machins to anybody.
