Hills Farm Stays

We had a lovely stay at Hill Farm Stays. Steve was very welcoming and was always happy to help us with ideas of places to visit whilst we were there. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The room had a lovely bath in the bedroom and shower in the bathroom. There are tea & coffee facilities and a fridge in the room too. We included breakfast in our stay, which was well worth it - cooked to order, fresh and very tasty. We could have eaten our evening meal there too, but opted to explore the local pubs. The farm is set in a great location and although it does have guests & local residents coming and going, it was very quiet and we were not disturbed at all. This was a lovely place to stay for a 3 night break-away. Thank you!

Arrived here at our arrival time of 5.30pm 11/8/24, reception closed , locked ! Bar - resteraunt locked ! No presence of anybody at the property. Rang phone number on front door five times from 5.40pm - 6pm , no answer ! After travelling for 2.5hrs we had no choice but to try and avail of other accommodation ! This booking was booked directly with the premises. We met a yard worker next door and was told we had a lucky escape not to be entering the accommodation. Ten days before i had the courtesy of calling the property to see if they wanted payment , but they said we have your card details so you can pay on arrival ! £105 was taken from our account the day before arrival, we couldnt even step inside the property and it cost us £105 !!!. We stayed on a beautyfull hotel in Exeter that night . The following day i emailed the property after umpteen unanswered calls ! But yet again no reply . When we returned to Ireland i did manage to talk to a person on the phone who at first would not reconise the booking number! But eventually said he would refund us our money and to forward our bank details which we did and we also asked for a confirmation email on recieving our details, and to this day has never came or the refund ! Surprise . We have emailed most days since. I have never wrote a negative review from any other property in my life , but this warrants one ! I wont write what i would call taking money from someone and not recieving a service. By the way we travelled through the cotswolds,Devon,cornwall and somerset, and we have to say its one of the most beautyful country sides we have ever been in ! Please read reviews before you book this property .

I would warn anyone sharing card details, as I was overcharged by £45 for The Stables and sent evidence to the owner who said he would refund me. However, I have had no money or response. We changed the date of booking by around a week but was not warned the price was any different and I was originally booked for £240. There are some lovely positives but I wouldn't class something as luxury without giving travel toiletries or lovely big fluffy towels. Hand-wash appeared watered down in our bathrooms. Cobwebs and lots of dirt behind beds. Spacious accomodation and well finished kitchen was lovely, I just feel a few details let it down. Food and drink on site appears very nice from our experience and owners friendly, welcoming. The spa looks included on booking but is an additional £50 which I think is scandalous. If I receive the overcharge back I would be happy to amend my review.

Lovely place, lovely area and Steve was really welcoming and helpful. Would definitely come and stay here again. Just a FYI WE came here by mini bus so didn’t have any way of travelling anywhere once we were here. We didn’t realise that there were no taxis in the area so if you’re coming and wanting to go offsite at all make sure to bring your own transport :)

Steve was a wonderful host who made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed our stay here and will 100% be coming back again. It is set in a beautiful place with lots and lovely beaches and walks around. We visited the restaurant and Elaine is an amazing cook and accommodating would recommend

We stayed two nights so we could attend a family celebration hosted here. The venue is set in a lovely position and the buildings are very nicely restored what a potential asset. Unfortunately we found our room The Dairy self catering very over priced and disappointing. We did get shown to the room but that was it no information given about the room or breakfast etc. Although restored sympathetically it fell very short. Bathroom dirty and previous guests toothbrushes in cupboard, toilet dirty, shower grimy, bobbled pulled towels and grubby floor. Hot water was variable being told there is a boost between certain hours ? There were a lot of cobwebs and our son got bitten in bed. The pictures illustrate a beautiful inglenook fireplace however has a big sign do not use ???? We had to empty the dishwasher on arrival and the oven was dirty. The facility is classed as a luxury hideaway. Personally if you put luxury in the mix the standards go up this is definitely not luxury. A welcome pack with bare minimum e.g soap, washing up liquid wouldn’t have gone amiss. Unprofessional no attention to detail. such a waste of a great set up so so sad. If you have a decent budget there are far better places who provide value for money and interactive owners who have attention to detail and care.
