Found the bed uncomfortable, had dips in mattress. Possibly just needs a need mattress topper. But bed was lovely and big

Lovely place to stay having the garden and patio area is a bonus. Richard greeted us on arrival and explained everything.

Richard was friendly and very helpful ... even helping repair a wing mirror too 😊 Accommodation clean, spacious and quiet - great rural location. Facilities all spot on

The downstairs lounge (on the same level as the front door and car parking) was fine as a lounge and TV room but very odd as a food preparation and eating area, as it has no sink and no running water, and a coffee table to eat at which you can't get your legs under, so you have to lean forward over your plate to eat. The fridge was very small and had a miniscule freezer compartment. The turntable in the small microwave was easily dislodged when removing a Pyrex dish, and very fiddly to put back, with inadequate lighting and space to see what needed doing. The food prep area was cramped, with a constant risk of dropping or spilling something on the carpet and being unable to wipe it clean. A small pack of 12 wet wipes was provided, but we could have used three times as many. We didn't take meals upstairs to the garden and gazebo as the stairs were very steep with narrow treads and it was necessary to use at least one hand on the (rather sticky) hand rail. The continental breakfast provided was not of a high standard compared to other DIY ones we have experienced in B&Bs, with no sugar-free cereals, no meats, cheeses or eggs and only instant coffee. On the positive side, our used cutlery and dishes were washed for us by our hosts and returned later in the day.

Stayed three nights in this quaint old house while completing the Two Moors Way walk. Richard was very helpful for finding our way round local lanes. On the first floor, the bedroom was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the adjoining shower room was super clean and a good size. Despite the heatwave, the house was cool due to its thick walls. The gazebo in the garden (accessed via the bedroom) was a useful area to sit in during the evening when it was drizzling.

So convenient for visiting our family in the area - Richard was a perfect host , so friendly and couldn’t do more for us ! Usually when we stay in holiday cottages we don’t see the owner but Richard was always around if you needed anything. We were given such a massive selection for breakfast as well , it was great .

The accommodation is superb, in very quiet and pleasent surroundings. Well positioned for visiting Dartmoor . It was a pleasure to have a cosy sitting room to relax in. The bedroom was well appointed and the bed exceptionaly comfortable. The DIY breakfast could not be faulted for its quantity and freshness. We would highly recommend this establishment.

There was nothing we didn’t like about this place!

The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We were warmly greeted on arrival by Richard, our host. A good quality continental breakfast was provided, along with plenty of milk, tea and coffee. The bed was large and very comfortable. Spare bedding was provided, along with plenty of storage space. The shower was hot. The garden was extensive, with a choice of tables and chairs, plus a gazebo. A barbecue is also provided. The property is only a 20 minutes brisk walk, or 10 minute car ride, from Ivybridge. The interior is tastefully decorated. I would definitely recommend this property and we hope to stay there again.

Quiet location. Easy access to main road. Lovely outdoor sitting areas. Great and varied supplies for breakfast. Friendly welcome from Richard. Near a lovely park for local walks.

Stayed in July 2024

Location was ideal for us visiting relatives in Ivybridge. Richard was a great host meeting us on arrival and explaining everything to us. The food left for our breakfast was plentiful and varied. Shower was very good and everything was very comfortable. Outside seating was a bonus.

Stayed in June 2024

Not full kitchen facilities (but it does say it in the description), although the fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle were perfect and the supply of breakfast bread, crumpets, croissants, jam, butter, yoghurts and juice was excellent and amazing. Full crockery, cups and cutlery etc were provided so takeaways, jacket potatoes and microwave warm ups made it absolutely perfect.

Very cosy, clean and so homely. The garden is beautiful and private and Richard couldn't have been more helpful. Great position to walk to the station (15 mins) for excellent hourly trains into Plymouth and beyond. Fantastic walks all round, 20 mins in car to local quiet beach and at least 3 or 4 good food pubs. Great base for exploring Devon and Cornwall so close to the A38 and trains.

very difficult driving into court yard

I did not find anything that could be improved.

The cottage was very well provisioned and very comfortable.

Stayed in May 2024

No kitchen but that was as expected. A38 is very close so there is some road noise but only heard when windows are open.

Exactly as described, quaint and comfortable. spacious double bedroom and shower rooms, and cozy lounge.

The hosts were very kind and friendly. Richard offered to pick me up from the local station, and drop me back for my return journey.

We stayed here for 2 nights and everything was excellent. Middle Filham is a historical building with over 400 years history and it was very first time for us to stay such a traditional farmer’s house in England. The room was very tidy and comfortable and we felt relaxed in every moments. Our stay was in earlier May and it was cool a little in the morning and evening but never felt cold because oil heaters in each room worked pretty well. Richard was so kind and gave us many advices about the hiking route in Dartmoor near Ivy bridge. We also enjoyed the pubs and restaurant in Ivy bridge. The atmosphere of the town was great. Everyone was kind and friendly. We’d love to come back here again in the different season!

I don't think it could be improved on.

Lovely warm period cottage in a quiet country location with excellent outdoor facilities for summer months. Beautifully clean and comfortable and excellent value for money. Friendly, attentive hosts providing lots of breakfast choices and willing to help in any way. We will certainly be returning for another stay. Thank you very much Richard.
