We had a fantastic holiday here. Its in a great location only 17mins from beach and various other locations. This is a working farm not a campsite so just have to be mindful they will be tractors buzzing around if you have children but in all honesty we never saw them much. You can buy Really top quality meat and eggs from the farm too which are really delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality you receive. The family are really friendly and we are very grateful they allowed us to share this beautiful space with them. Our little girl loved it there especially with the goats and sheep. Look forward to seeing you next time 😃

We have just returned from a 2 night, last minute break away. We booked 2 Glamping tents and were absolutely delighted with them. All slept very well on the comfortable beds. The extras, like plates, bowls and cutlery were an added bonus. It is a lovely working farm and the children loved the animals and enjoyed feeding them grass. The views from the bell tents are beautiful and you feel at one with nature. This site has shower blocks and toilets, which were clean and well maintained. The owner, Ness, was very welcoming and helpful when we needed assistance. We will most definitely be returning.

I spent the last 2 nights camping at Thorncombe Farm. When I arrived I was met by a very friendly and informative lady, I think the owner. She gave me a tour of the facilities and showed me where I could pitch up. This set the tone for a very nice couple of days. Ideally located for local interest sites, peaceful and quiet. Toilet and shower facilities were clean and tidy, plenty of hot water available. I really enjoyed my stay here and can highly recommend a stay. I camped using my own tent but I had a look around the glamping tents and they looked top notch.

I had a 6 month long renovation on my house that required multiple visits and adaptations on-the-fly as things came up. Rob and Callum were absolutely fantastic. Nothing was a challenge for them and they were supportive when plans had to change, even amongst the last minute requests for them to visit. Our project was certainly difficult, but these guys made it feel achievable, and they delivered đŸ’Ș

10/10 service. We use Rob everytime. He helped fit all the downlighting to our renovation downstairs, moving sockets, fuse box and installing sockets for a TV and fireplace. And he has just come back and fitted downlighting to the whole top floor and rerouted the sky cables. Nothing is too much trouble and he was happy to make adjustments where needed. Very professional and cleans up after himself. We would recommend Rob to anyone needing an electrician, he is the best.

Just wow. Had Sunday lunch here over a week ago and still can not stop thinking about it. Best Sunday roast I have ever had. Fish and chips also went down very well with who I was with. Wish we were not just visiting so could go back again. Rarely review but just could not not do it.

Had a fabulous Sunday Roast here today. We were recommended by a local. The food was exceptional. Everything was cooked to perfection, generous portion sizes, good service. Expensive for a Sunday roast but worth every penny. You will not be disappointed

We visited for a roast dinner whilst on holiday and have to say it was very good and plenty of it, we also had the ginger pudding with whiskey caramel sauce and malt ice cream which was amazing. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and they are dog friendly, we would definitely come back when we next visit devon

My wife and i just enjoyed the new taster menu here tonight, and honestly it was sublime, we wouldn't have changed a single thing. The staff and owner are welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The service is perfectly balanced. The food is exquisite and without fault, in my 44 years I have never left a restaurant feeling so thoroughly pleased as I have here. This was our second time eating here after celebrating our daughters A-Level results the first time, and we booked a table again on the way out for our third visit in a few weeks for my wife's birthday. Just astounding.

First time at the Tytherleigh Arms, but we'll be definitely coming back. My wife and I went for Sunday lunch (top tip - book for 2pm and after as it's less busy) and were treated with a great set of dishes. She had the beef roast and I had the chicken with peas and buttermilk. The beef roast came with a beautiful selection of vegetables; carrot and swede mash, beetroot and turnip and a perfect cauliflower and broccoli cheese. The dessert did not disappoint either - a chocolate mousse with hazelnut ice cream and smashed up soil. All beautifully cooked and carefully presented - whoever is doing the cooking here knows what they're doing! As Londoners, we eat out a lot and have high expectations - this place really is very good at what it does.

Oh my! ♄ What a magical experience visiting The Clockspire was. Where do I begin to describe the care and detail oozing from both the staff and the food, it truly is clear to see, even the toilet hand towels were folded beautifully! We decided to opt for an expensive treat due to a special birthday, but the restaurant also offers a very affordable day menu, so I would recommend for both a stunning meal out and for celebrating occasions.

I recently engaged the services of Terry for our dental surgery, and I'm highly impressed with the exceptional job he did. His expertise in lighting was evident throughout the project. Terry is very meticulous. He ensures every step, from the initial assessment to the final installation, was executed with precision. The result not only met functional needs but also transformed our workspace into a cleaner and more organized environment with clutter free wiring. The chosen lighting was a highlight. He has excellent knowledge of lighting system which significantly enhanced the overall work area, and has created a more pleasant and efficient environment. In addition to his technical skills, he is very professional, ensuring effective communication and a clean work area. I highly recommend his services for top-notch electrical work.

Having never needed an electrician in Dorset before, Terry was the first and only contact I needed to make. He completed a thorough survey of the work required and subsequently provided a quote which I was more than happy with. I did not feel I had to look elsewhere. The work was carried out to my complete satisfaction in a very tidy manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending and using his services again.

Terry did some work for us at our holiday cottage. We found him to be very accommodating and trustworthy, which was essential as he needed to be in the house alone. He also identified a fault on the electrical circuit he was originally working on and after being told that to find the fault could take anything from an hour to a day to find, we were worried about the bill we could potentially receive. The bill was very reasonable and this was another demonstration of how fair and trustworthy he is. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Terry recently undertook the task of bringing power from our house to our external office/work space. He also wired it along with the installation of led ceiling lights and a number of sockets and switches. He also installed the associated earthing rods. In addition we asked for some help with regard to wiring our internet from the house to the new space. Terry was happy to carry out the additional work. At all times Terry was communicative, tidy and professional in the work he’s carried out for us. We were very happy with the service provided. Would use again and would happily recommend to others.

My husband booked us a room at the inn for the night for my birthday (and our first night away since becoming parents!) and our stay was just the best treat! Our room was absolutely charming - gorgeous outdoor area and we loved the suite set up - having the beautiful lounge area and then separate mezzanine sleeping area. Everything from how the room was styled with gorgeous coffee table books to the luxurious bed etc was on point. The staff were warm and super helpful, our evening meal was excellent and the breakfast in the morning was amazing - high quality and gorgeous setting. We honestly can’t wait to stay again!

We enjoyed another fabulous dinner at the Cotley this evening. Packed with diners, and people at the bar yet it wasn’t noisy, the service was impeccable, and it was warm and cosy on a chilly evening. As for the food, sensational for a country pub that’s a cut above, without being pretentious. Thank you for squeezing us in at no notice. We’ll be back.

We had another fabulous meal at the Cotley last night (28 Dec) As soon as you walk in someone says hi! Be with you in a second. Truly a great team here. Professional yet still retaining a common touch. That’s a good thing by the way! Table was waiting and menus were given and drinks were ordered. Smart service. But not rushed. The table is ours till we’ve eaten our fill. That doesn’t take long either. Portions are generous and delicious! We had everything from trout (my starter and so delicious) could go on. Duck. Venison. Burger. All absolutely delicious. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

We came for Sunday lunch and were really bowled over by how good our whole experience was! The “Bloody Shame” was absolutely delicious, the pheasant katsu was a very creative dish, and the roasts were out of this world. All this was made even better by such a warm, personable staff at the pub. Thanks so much - we will come again!

We would highly recommend and am more than satisfied with the services provided by LET Electrical & renewables. Right from the initial introduction to Lewis and his services he was very informative and he patiently listened and answered all questions. Lewis handled all paperwork and assisted with the finance application and kept us updated at every stage of the order and installation. On the day of the installation Lewis and his team were very efficient and patient with us and the dogs! and kept everywhere very tidy as they worked. On finishing took all rubbish and insured that we understood how the solar panels and batteries worked and set us up with the app to view the savings (Which becomes addictive).

Thank you to Lewis and his team for their admirable work installing my solar panels. I was kept updated at all times and Kieran and Marley worked long hours ensuring the work was done to a high spec and as speedily as possible. The scaffolders employed were also superb, A1.

Used Topsparks multiple times. Telephone always answered quickly. Plumber always sent next day if urgent. Plumber always shows up on time and stays to complete the job whether it is 2 hours or 8 hours. Mike and his apprentice are outstanding and did a thorough job and worked really hard. The whole team at Topsparks is ‘user-friendly’. They are very considerate towards my 94-year old father and his needs and provided full technical explanations. Good value and reasonable pricing. Plumber was re-sent on one occasion when further work needed and I was not charged. My thanks to Karen, Aran, Mike and Tim.
