Ideal for Families

"I think your service is excellent, and I always recommend you to friends and family. Also, David did a great job of looking after us. We were his first guests at Merryfield and I am sure we will go back. The house is beautiful and ideal for families or large groups to share." Christian Joeres on 11th May 2009

Delightful Owners - all you can hear is birdsong

This is a fabulous house, in a beautiful area. Although only 3 miles from the A38, all you can hear is birdsong - one feels a million miles from traffic. The house is most generously equipped and beautifully decorated. The owners are delightful, providing chilled wine and local bacon and eggs on our arrival. Highly recommended."

Magnificent House

A magnificent house in an idyllic setting. Had a great week despite inclement weather. Can recommend the pies at the Coppa Dolla along with any meal at the rising Sun. Centrally situated meaning most of the area seen. Thanks for the hospitality

A 'Proverbial Belter'

Our annual pilgrimage to Devon and the South Hams was made all the better for the fantastic weather and superb base of Merrifield. With 7 adults, 3 teenagers and 4 children. the house was perfect in it's facilities, it's size and access to so many wonderful beaches. David,Nikki and kids were extremely friendly and helpful tour guides. We thoroughly enjoyed our week. It was the proverbial 'belter'

Great for Kids

This is the best holiday house I have been in and I LOVE IT!!!! (I want to stay a month next time) PPS This holiday house should be 5 star. I had lots of fun with the lego and XBox....I wish I could build and play more with the lego and XBox. Wish I can come again!

A beautiful house in a perfect setting. We all enjoyed the dressing up box, wonderful photos!! The weather has been very kind and we have had some very enjoyable walks on Dartmoor. Thank you - we hope to come again and will recommend Merrifield to all our friends

Beautiful House and Stunnung Grounds

"Merrifield House is the most beautiful house in stunning grounds. The owners Nicky and David Cosford have thought of every evenutality regarding the stocking of the house (furniture, kitchen, games, etc etc etc) It was wonderful for us to bring our dogs with us and they had a wail of a time! Ashburton is a lovely adequate village in which we were able to get all our supplies. I would highly recommend the property (and have already done so) and will certainly be going back. Many thanks"

A perfect place for the New Year

Such a lovely home away from home, thank you! Icy walks on the moor and by the sea particularly helped us enjoy the wonderful deep baths! A perfect place to herald in the New Year - we will recommend Merryfield House to friends most definitely.

A really, really wondeful house - so clean and well equipped which we have so appreciated. Many thanks for adding all the little touches that made our stay so very enjoyable. Beautiful setting and surroundings too - we really could not have wished for more and would certainly recommend it to anyone.
