Stay at Mill Cross Retreats logo

"A wonderful stay in a beautiful shepherds hut in Devon.

 

It was clean &

had everything we needed & the location was perfect. 

Close to some great walks, pubs & restaurants. 

We used the hot tub, which was perfect after a long walk on Dartmoor. 

Emma & Kevin are great hosts. They are communicative & helpful providing fab recommendations

on walks & food.

 

I really couldn't recommend this place more & hope to come back soon."

"The place was perfect!!!

 

My partner & I stayed here for early birthday celebrations. It was cosy, relaxing & so romantic. 

The hot tub was the perfect touch. 

Amazing recommendations- the walk at Dartington & the cafe nearby were perfect. 

My partner & I are so happy- we had the most magical time away & cannot stop talking about the time we had & how we have made the best memories together. 

We loved our little visits from Mrs Pickles & the chickens . 

Everything was thought of. 

Thank you Emma & Kevin for making our stay just so beautiful. 

We cannot wait to come back X"

KIND WORDS

"We had a fantastic time staying at Jenny Wren for my partner's 30th. Emma & Kevin went above & beyond for us. The shepherd's hut is beautiful, well stocked, comfortable & the gardens & woodfired hot tun were wonderful. 

We left more relaxed than we have been in a long time & we're looking forward to coming back. Also the local pub has REALLY great food. Thanks so much X"
