"We stayed at this charming cottage tucked away on a working farm and it was surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are lovely hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place itself is super spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that we didnt want to leave! The garden is ideal for dogs, fully enclosed and beautifully furnished. There are plenty of walks nearby and we enjoyed exploring Thaxteds great restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Highly recommend!"

"We had a lovely stay at this lodge, its in a really convenient spot just off the main road, making it super easy to get to Exeter. Inside, the place is well kitted out - everything youd need for a comfy stay. The hot tub was a real highlight, really relaxing after a day out. Wed definitely come back! That said, we did notice the cleanliness couldve been better - the bin had a weird smell and when we changed it, there was waste at the bottom. The dishwasher had some food bits and the lamp shades were a bit dusty. Considering check-in is 5pm and check-out is 9am, Id expect it to be a bit cleaner with those extra hours for cleaning. Still, overall a good stay!"

"Our Holmans Wood Holiday Park review: Overall, we had a lovely stay, but a quick heads-up: the cottage bin wasnt emptied from previous guests and it hadnt been hoovered either. No worries, though-my dog took care of the leftover crumbs under the sofas! Small details, but worth mentioning. Would stay again!"

"Nice place, would recommend"
George - Sep 2024
"Overall, we found the place to be quite comfortable and spacious, perfect for what we needed. Everything was clean and in good condition, which was great. The only little hiccup was the saucepans stored way up high in a cupboard - a bit tricky for shorter folks to reach without a worry. Still, we enjoyed our stay!"

"We really appreciated how spotless the lodge was and felt safe with all the COVID measures in place. Cooking was easy with plenty of pots and pans and the villages Chinese takeaway delivered straight to us when we needed a break from cooking. Great stay!"

"Great trip, would do again"

"We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is really beautiful and private, perfect for a relaxing break. The owners were super friendly and always there if we needed anything, but they didn't intrude on our peace. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling-absolutely perfect. The only thing to note is that the cottage is directly under Stansted's flight path, so there's quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!"

"We recently stayed at the 12 Orchid lodge and honestly, it was a pretty great experience. The two-bedroom setup was perfect for us; Bedroom 1 had twin beds and ample storage, while Bedroom 2 featured a comfy queen bed with bedside tables and wall lights-really nice touch. The en-suite shower was a bit tricky with the on-off knob, but nothing too bothersome. The bathroom had both a shower and a bathtub, which was handy. The kitchen was fully stocked-everything from a cooker and microwave to utensils, pans and even salt and pepper mills-made cooking easy. The living area was cosy, with a sofa, dining table for four and a smart TV that had apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime (remember to log out before leaving!). We loved the large sliding doors leading to the decking, which had rattan furniture and a hot tub-such a treat! Parking was straightforward for one car, but theres extra nearby if needed. The lodges setting is lovely, backing onto a pond and countryside, so its peaceful. The only downside is the tricky route through Chudleigh if you're heading south on the A38; a printed map helps avoid the single-lane roads. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay-definitely recommend it!"

"Overall, we had a lovely stay. The caravan was comfortable and well-equipped, but we did find it a bit tricky to access via mobile phone, especially for older guests. Luckily, we managed with the key, but it could be a problem for some."
Laura - Jul 2023
"Even though the weather wasnt perfect, we really enjoyed our stay at Holmans Wood. The place was spotless and really spacious, just what we needed to unwind. We loved sitting out on the decking and watching the wildlife and the hot tub was a real highlight. Definitely planning to return - such a lovely spot! Thanks so much!"

Mark - Nov 2019
"We really enjoyed our stay in this caravan. It had all the essentials we needed and was kept quite clean, which was nice. The only slight hiccup was the WiFi connection - it didnt seem to work inside, only when we went outside and walked up the path. Not a big deal for us since we were out most of the time, but worth knowing. Overall, a great holiday and wed definitely come back!"

"A really good site with excellent views. Staff were very helpful, friendly & polite. Accommodation was spot on, with a hot tub, couldn’t ask for better. We enjoyed a great weekend away from it all. Highly recommend! ?"
Anthony - Jul 2022
"Very good service lovely homes, need to drive if you want entertainment or days activity. Although I booked knowing it is a quiet site but not far is sister site also beautiful. Would recommend to any. Handman and reception so very helpful and pleasant"
Lesley - Jul 2022
"Fantastic park however it's adult friendly more than family with children. For the activities you got to travel by car at least 10min to the nearest sister park. If more activities for children's available within the park I would recommend this 100%. Otherwise park situated in the lovely country side and good walking trail for dogs. During our visit we witnessed some construction a going on, so we will give another go"

Miguel - Jul 2022
"The holiday park was really lovely with rabbits running around and easy access to lots of places. It was quiet and peaceful which we liked and found really relaxing. Some building work going on but didn’t affect our stay at all. Staff all lovely and helpful on the couple of times we had to ask questions. No shop on site but a well stocked garage approx 1/4 a mile away so no problem there."
Caron - Jul 2022
"I had a brilliant week, relaxing and almost everything provided, towels, hot-tub, large TV, brilliant Wi-Fi and internet provision, heating and comfortable beds and seating. Plenty of space, lovely views. I really appreciate the member of staff responding to my phone all, when I knew I would be arriving a bit late, and he remained on site to hand over my keys.
It was very quiet and I didn't see many staff. The site is well placed geographically and is still being developed. I loved seeing rabbits on the fields."
