We stayed in November, as we wanted to visit the tar barrels in Ottery St Mary. The village is a stroll away, but relatively easy to get to. We stayed in Pippin cottage, and had a wonderful time. The kitchen facilities are great and there was a lovely four person dining table to sit around at dinner time. The living room was cosy and we borrowed a couple of films from the communal DVD library. Ruud popped around at one point with scones, cream and jam for all of us – delicious. Well worth a trip – it’s a lovely part of the world to see, and Mazzard Farm is the perfect base to explore it from.
