We spent 7 nights at The Milkshed with our two kids and absolutely loved it. The house was spotless when we arrived, and the open-plan living area with the kitchen felt incredibly spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped—we had everything we needed for cooking. Both bedrooms were lovely, and the freestanding bathtub in the master bedroom was a great touch. The bathroom was also beautiful and spacious. Even though the property was located on a large estate, we had complete privacy throughout our stay. The garden, featuring a hot tub (which was checked daily) and a large hammock, was perfect for relaxing—we especially enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub during the evenings. The estate itself was expansive, and we took full advantage of the little walks through the wooded areas. There was also a grassed pitch where we could play ball games like football, volleyball, and even tennis. Katie and her husband were kind, helpful, and very responsive whenever we needed anything. All in all, the place was amazing, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a rural setting while exploring all that Devon has to offer.

What a beautiful house in an amazing location. We were a group of 7, age range from 16-52 and all of us had a wonderful holiday. The house was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for, plenty of space for everyone to be together or chill separately. A stone’s throw from the beach with a convenient cafe in between for coffees, cakes and ice creams. The beach is very safe for kids and lots of space for everybody so it never felt crowded. There are days out within easy reach, or plenty to do if you choose to stay put. The house is so beautifully decorated and lots of lovely little touches that just make life a bit easier and feel a bit more luxurious. The outdoor heated showers on returning from the beach were a hit with everyone, including the dog and the balcony with the most amazing view was my personal favourite. This is truly a place to properly switch off and relax, and just enjoy the wonderful surroundings.

Jenny Wren Shepherd’s Hut is everything you’d want from a peaceful and secluded getaway for two. Despite being a short drive from major conurbations, it is located on a lovely spot overlooking woodland and rolling hillsides.
It was usual to need to ‘request to book’, however the owners were very responsive and our last minute getaway was booked very efficiently.
The owners have thought of everything visitors might need, from the welcome hamper filled with breakfast essentials and a few treats (the marmalade and shortbread were amazing!) all presented in Kilner jars inside a wicker hamper, to the fact the ice cube tray was full and ready to use.
The hut itself is very well equipped and tasteful furnished - everything shouts quality. From the extremely comfortable bed with hotel standard cotton linen to the Krups coffee machine (with an initial supply of pods). The owners have thought of everything, you really just need to turn up! They provide towels and bath robes (only gripe is that these are not aimed at more generous sized guests), L’Occitane toiletries and a supply of logs (for the log burner and bbq/ fire pit). The outside area is a lovely space with table and chairs for outside dining and comfy chairs for relaxing and enjoying the view. Then there is the outside tub too which was a very welcome addition.
Things to note: steep steps into the hut (a handle on the frame would be useful). It’s quite a climb into the bed, especially for me at 5’6” but even for my 6’2” husband.
We have stayed in many holiday cottages/ homes over the years but few have been of the standard of this shepherd’s hut.

Wanted to book a last minute break. Found accommodation but couldn’t book instantly. Instead, had to message to request a booking. No response from coolstays despite requesting in the morning. Finally got a response the next day to say that the accommodation was no longer available. Very poor service. If you can’t book instantly, then you’d expect someone could deal with it in a timely manner, during normal working hours.

The castle and surrounding grounds was a thing of dreams, loved by every member of my family. We could have easily spent all our time there without needing to do anything outside. A few things that could have been better but did not take away from our experience, some of the mattresses on the beds were too soft, not made to sleep on. Some of the windows did not stay open, which isn’t ideal in hot weather as the castle was surprisingly warm. The induction hob was hard to navigate as the markings have all rubbed off so complete guessing game. We managed to overlook these issues and still have a wonderful time. Caretaker was on call to assist with any problems which was a bonus. Overall, would highly recommend. Would love to visit again.

Very helpful support from Coolsays given over payment methods. Communication with owner propmt and friendly. Thank you.

The Treehouse blew us away! It is a must! If you want peace, quiet and tranquility, this is the place for you. We have never stayed anywhere, where all you can hear is nature all around. .... and the odd sheep 😆. The Treehouse itself is filled with everything you could need and the hosts fully welcome pets with a few goodies for them too. The Gin Bar was a lovely touch although we didnt use this but what a great idea. The Treehouse is nothing but luxury and an escape away from a very busy world. We cannot thank the hosts enough and will be sure to return. Thank you! X

Amazing place to stay, the cabin and hot tub is beautifully surrounded by magnificent jungle plants creating a idilic spot in the heart of the Kent countryside yet it’s just a short drive to the coast. The cabin is beautifully appointed has all mod cons but is uniquely designed and it’s a very atmospheric, quiet and peaceful place. We will definitely been returning soon. Jon and Jo were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much bother.

Rhiwson Uchaf - What a lovely place to relax and chill. Beautiful longhouse ( mind you, duck when going outside!! Old buildings!!) The accommodation was clean and with a good supply of essentials. The owner was very friendly and accommodating ( we really appreciated the wine and chocolates!) We loved the jacuzzi, private with a lovely vista. We would happily recommend the property.

We had a lovely time stayed here with my fiancé and two dogs in one of the cabins, was lovely and clean and rustic loved it. Loved the idea of an eco friendly site, we had everything we needed! Would definitely recommend and would stay again🙂

Wow,,

This jungle cabin was great! It was super clean and well-organized, showing that the owners really put thought into it. They were also very friendly and made us feel welcome. The best part was how private it felt – like having our own little hideaway in the jungle. If you want a peaceful and clean place to stay with nice owners, this is it!

Loved our stay. Huts are stylish and have everything you need. They are situated in a nice peaceful site within walking distance of the hotel. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel which was lovely with great service.

The perfect place to stay with family to celebrate our son's wedding just down the road. We had a 'final dinner' al fresco then hosted the usher's lunch on the big day. Gemma was a friendly and efficient host and could not have been more helpful. I can highly recommend The Shed for its comfort, style and setting - 5 stars!

Absolutely fabulous location, stunning views. Swimming pool and jacuzzi were lovely and warm. Only downside sofa wasn’t comfortable. Contact with rep was really good, replied very quickly to queries.

Our aim was for a peaceful relaxing weekend, and Horseshoe Barn was the ideal place. It was great to sit out and over look the fields listenand be visited by the birds. Location was brilliant enjoyed an easy walk finding remains of fortress and visited the local beer making bar very unusual and also very friendly also visited The Boot pub which has just reopend both well worth a visit. If you are looking for more hussel and bussel believe me it is just on your doorstep so the best of both worlds.

The Peak District is beautiful. The house was ideal for our large family. The garden was perfect for children and dogs playing safely. Really recommended.

Dragons Nest is a beautiful property within easy walking distance of town centre , with stunning views , plenty of room and everything you could possibly need . Can recommend

Lovely peaceful cabin. Lots of love and creativity going on. Helen is great and generous. Perfect getaway.

I messaged Bill as I had a couple of questions before booking, he replied the same day and answered everything, very professional and friendly, so now I've booked and we're really looking forward to it on 8th August 2025, and the extra bonus of knowing if I need anything, I only have to ask.
Excellent service thanks
Christine

Lots of diverse properties and prices
