TESTIMONIALS

Just to say thank you, we have had the most wonderful stay.  The cottage is beautiful and the attention to detail is second to none.  To really get away from everything in such lovely surroundings has made this an amazing break for us.  It definitely won't be the last time you see us !!

“We had a lovely family time at Holwell Farm. The setting is spectacular and Philippa, Sebastian and Henry were welcoming and accommodating.  The kids were overjoyed at feeding the animals and being on the farm in general.   The prepared foods were excellent and we took home a leg of lamb which was so tender and delicious I am certain we will order more.   I wondered whether getting to know the animals would turn the children into vegetarians, and I think it has made them think more carefully about only eating meat from happy animals that have been well looked after….”

Just a short note to say that we had a fantastic relaxing stay at Chinkwell and we will be certainly booking again in the future.
Mike Rickard & Family, October 2009

We had a really super relaxing time and felt that Chinkwell was a lovely and well apppointed cottage. There is actually something particularly appealing about Dartmoor in Autumn and Winter. We look forwrad to coming again, hopefully early next year?

Thank you very much! We have enjoyed our stay very much. It was really fantastic.
Stephen Engster & Family October 2009

We have recently returned from our fifth (yes, that's right!!) visit to Holwell and have had another fabulous break. As always, we were made to feel so welcome, it always feels like a real home from home.
We have now stayed in 3 different cottages at Holwell and all of them have been unique and wonderfully comfortable. I will never forget our first visit...waking in the morning to see the incredible view across the open moor and I know we'll be back again!!

Had a fantastic week for the second time at Holwell. Amazing location on a lovely working farm. The scenery from the lawn is spectacular. The owners were really friendly and were a great source of local knowledge-thanks sebastion for the info about Deeper Marsh! Picnic spots unrivalled and the children had an amazing time.
Definately be back again!  The Woodland Family, Chinkwell Cottage, June 09

Just a few lines to say how much we all enjoyed our stay on your truly beautiful farm.
The cottages were superb, as were the views. Everyone had a wonderful time and the children, big and small really loved being around the animals.
We have taken lots of photographs to show friends and family and will definitely be telling everyone what a very special place you have.
Hoping to return soon....   The Blick Family, Haytor, May 09

We have now had the wonderful opportunity to have stayerd twice at Holwell. When I say we I should add this includes myself, my husband, 4 children, 2 grandparents, 4 horses and 5 dogs> . We are all treated to the warmest of welcomes, the ultimate in home comforts and surroundings that take your breath away.

As the years pass I know we will have fond, lasting memories of our Holwell days, watching the children removed from televisions and play stations and utilising the wonderful environment, playing hide and seek, climbing trees and wading through rivers.

We are lucky to have a small reminder of our hoidays everytime a meat box arrives as we are all now supporters of the wonderful organic meat and look forward to our next delivery.

Just a quick note to thank you for a great stay on the farm.

We had a lovely break (even with the wet weather) and the children loved see all the animal and collecting eggs.

We thought that Holwell was a lovely place for holiday and we hope to visit you again in the future, if you’ll have us !

Kind Regards

Many thanks for a beautifully clean cottage, very much appreciated. 

The Steven Family, HayTor April 08

Just to say thank you for accommodating us at Saddle Tor cottage for our son Tom's christening.

The cottage is beautiful and perfect for our needs; there was plenty of room for the lunch party and even plenty of parking!  (our neighbours at Chinkwell Tor were lovely!).

We also enjoyed the butchery and will be back for more.  Pete was lovely with the children showing them the farm and animals.

Thanks again,

Susie Patch, Saddle Tor, March 08

Just to say how much we enjoyed our short stay this feb 27th-2nd march. The cottage was fab and very comfortable. The dogs [all four!!] very much enjoyed their stay. George the

Holwell provides everything we need; comfortable, well equipped accommodation, peaceful and tranquil setting and good walks for us and our pet Kalom; thank you!

Mr and Mrs Billington, Hay Tor Cottage

We think you have done a fantastic job and seem to have thought of just about everything that might be needed. 10/10 for attention to detail that really makes a holiday.

Many thanks.

Mr Lydford, Hound Tor Cottage

Holwell Farm lived up to all expectations that I had from watching the programme 'Forgotten Farm'. The Farm is absolutely beautiful and the cottages to the highest order. This provided

the parents with the quality of a 5 Star hotel and the whole family the joy of living the country life that you will never get in a city of a Spanish beach! It was cold and wet when we went

but was still one of the most relaxing and fantastic holidays we have ever had as a family.

The Lee family, Hound Tor Cottage

Sheer bliss - the sound of silence and best of all is the fact that our hairy husky cross was made as welcome as we were. The animals were all delightful too; we thoroughly enjoyed our

week at Holwell and can't wait to come back; neither can Hal our dog.
