We previously stayed at Windy Willows which was fabulous This time we stayed Lily's Pad, equally great. There was nothing we could complain about, cleanliness, facilities and the welcome that both John & Sarah extended to us. You arrive unpack and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. John & Sarah have a fabulous establishment that provides everything you could possibly need with both Lily's Pad and Windy Willows. Look forward to a future visit knowing what to expect, plus John & Sarah and their very welcome as good friends..

John and Sarah are extremely helpful and welcoming hosts, and go the extra mile to look after their guests. Due to unforeseen circumstances we arrived very late in the evening, and John kindly took time to show us round and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was lovely to come back from walking on the moor to sit and enjoy the warmth from the log burner before sleeping in the very comfortable bed. Lilys Pad is the perfect base for a holiday in Devon, and we hope to return soon.

The owners John and Sarah are very welcoming, they surprised us with a lovely mid break treat. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back there.
