Guests say

Whitehall Farm Cottage in Devon is highly praised for its welcoming host, Jayne, and its idyllic, peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, comfort, and cleanliness of the cottage, as well as the thoughtful touches like homemade cakes. The farm setting with animals and countryside views adds to the charm, although some guests noted the lounge seating could be more comfortable for those with mobility issues.

The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean. There was a single mention of dampness and a minor leak, but this seems to be an isolated issue that did not significantly impact the overall experience.

The location is consistently described as beautiful and ideal for exploring Devon. The farm setting offers tranquility and proximity to wildlife, with easy access to local towns and attractions.

Overall, guests find the cottage comfortable, especially noting the comfy beds. However, several reviews mention that the lounge seating is low and not as comfortable, particularly for older guests or those with mobility issues.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. Some guests suggested improvements in seating comfort and the addition of larger mirrors. A few maintenance issues were noted but did not detract significantly from the positive feedback.

Guests frequently mention the thoughtfulness of the host, including the provision of homemade cakes upon arrival. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed.

    Very well equally kitchen and very comfy beds. The owner left us a lovely homemade cake on arrival which was very much appreciated. The only things that would have made this cottage perfection for us would be better seating in the lounge, as the sofa is very low, slouchy and uncomfortable, the other option is some hard wicker chairs. Also, apart from the bathroom mirror over the sinks upstairs there are no other large mirrors, only one portable A4 sized mirror between the 3 bedrooms.
