    The location of the property was very private, semi nestled in the woodlands! Fresh farm eggs and cake were left for our arrival, with the option to purchase various wines which were left in the property for us to peruse.

    Lovely property excellent hosts. I had no trouble parking but I suspect an older/less expirienced driver may of struggled to turn round on narrow track at front of property. But a minor consideration and I would gladly go back again.

    The location was fantastic. Tucked away and very quiet. The property was spotlessly clean, and the bed was really comfortable. We paid the extra for the use of the hot tub, which was lovely. We really enjoyed being outside in the evening and...

Our property is so old it was built before the pilgrims set sail for America! With massively thick walls, oak beams and oodles of history, Cookbury Court was also the main farmhouse for Dunsland Park. A manor house originally built by the Normans.
We moved to Devon to set up Puddleduck Valley after spending 10 years trying to find the right location. We love the thrill of making our guest's stay really enjoyable and go all out to exceed our guest's expectations.
We don't just like Devon, we adore it. This is an English county that has it all from fabulous beaches with rock pools, body boarding and surfing, to the mountains of Dartmoor with windswept granite tors and wild ponies too. Devon is regarded as one of Britain's holiday counties and has so much to do.
