Is Oak Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Oak is designed specifically as a romantic retreat for couples, with a studio layout and single double bed. The working farm setting might interest older children, but there are no specific child-friendly facilities. The hot tub and open-plan design make it less suitable for families with young children. Better options exist for family holidays.
For Couples
Oak is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful countryside escape. The intimate studio layout, private hot tub under the stars and beautiful views create an ideal romantic setting. Watch sunsets from your patio, enjoy countryside walks from your doorstep and return to your cosy pod with its electric stove. Plymouth's restaurants are just 15 minutes away.
Pet Friendly
Oak does not allow pets. The property is situated on a working farm which makes it unsuitable for dogs and other pets. For those traveling with animals, alternative accommodation would need to be found. The farm setting and proximity to livestock are the main reasons for this restriction.

Amazing break. Complete relaxation
We visited for my fiancs birthday and it was the perfect staycation for 2 people. It was clean and compact but still spacious enough. The view from the room is unbeatable, and the hot tub is just the icing on the cake its always super warm too! Liz was an amazing host, accommodating all our needs and requests, we could not have asked for more. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, its a gem!
The hot tub was not checked whilst there and have came home with a rash caused due to the water. Spoke to health centre who stated the owners will not help.
Lovely peaceful and relaxing place with great views. Everything was as per described and we would not hesitate to recommend to friends and stay again ourselves.
Very nice and relaxing beautiful views and lots of wildlife to see. Lovely hottub had an enjoyable few days would recommend.
Me and my boyfriend stayed for 2 nights at the beautiful ash pod. It was the most peaceful and relaxing stay. The pod came fully equipped with everything you need and was very cosy. The hot tub with the amazing views was our highlight. Could not recommend enough, would definitely return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
Oak was wonderful for our 2 night break Stunning views , clean and very well appointed with good quality equipment and furnishings . I liked the fact that there was plenty of toilet rolls not just 1 ! and milk in the fridge ! The hot tub was just that ! Hot . And very clean and was a real treat after a long days walk . My only request would be more hanging space for coats . Liz was fabulous .
