A cosy spot in a beautiful setting

We spent six days at the property over Christmas to be close to family living nearby and it was the perfect base for our multi-generational group. Robert was a great host who ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a cake to welcome us. The location is stunning and the house is very well-equipped and comfortable.

Immaculate accommodation in peaceful countryside

We can thoroughly recommend this property. Immaculate, fully equipped accommodation set in beautiful countryside. My mother (80s) loved the ground floor bedroom with wet room. Peaceful and “remote” yet handily placed for local services at Yelverton and a selection of pubs, eateries and attractions. Enjoyed looking at the wildlife, sheep and cattle in neighbouring fields. Owner Robert who lives next door was very pleasant and helpful when required and very respectful, leaving us to enjoy our break in privacy otherwise. Loved this place!

The Big Broom Cupboard

The Big Broom Cupboard is a well-planned holiday cottage. It is fitted out to a high standard. (I loved the coffee machine particularly.) The house is nicely presented and very well provisioned. It is in a pretty location with lovely views. It is near the owner’s house, so it is not too isolated.

Exceeded all expectations

We highly recommend a stay at the Big Broom Cupboard. It's clean, comfortable and very well appointed. The property is well laid out with high quality fittings and appliances. Robert, the owner, adds some great touches including basic food essentials, flowers from the garden, cake and bowls of sweets. He is a fabulous host, being helpful but not intrusive. Sadly we only had 3 nights at the property, which simply wasn't enough to explore the area, We will return, and when we do we will stay here. Thanks Robert.

Heaven on Earth

We all really enjoyed everything, even the lashings of rain! The Big Broom Cupboard exceeded our expectations, as did the stunning views, garden and surrounding area. Rob made a brilliant cake and was very helpful with any questions we had. There were lots of extras in the property which were very appreciated. It would definitely be a property we would return to if we were in the area again.

Fantastic place to relax

Stunning views, thoughtfully decorated with a little wink to the 60's which gives the space a bit of history. Luxury touches which give it a hotel feel. A space filled with good ideas, flowers, pantry donations, cake, dressing gowns some things you don't normally see in a holiday let. We had a very restful stay and would love to return.

Simply Wonderful In Every Way

From the very first communication with our host, Robert, we felt put at ease. Robert was extremely helpful, providing us with useful information about the area and places we might find of interest. Everything has been thought through, and nothing is too much trouble for this host. The property is amazing and has the wow factor. The ground floor bedroom with wet room is perfectly suited to anyone with the need for this facility, or just someone who wants that bit of luxury. The grounds are well kept and amazing in themselves. The garden area is divided into rooms and down a lane there is a magical pond/lake with a walk around it. We will definitely be back and look forward to it.

An amazing find

6 of us stayed at The Big Broom Cupboard. Ages ranged from 5 to 64 years and everyone had a fantastic time. The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens that our children loved to play and explore in. They enjoyed walking down to the pond, watching the farmer mow the adjacent fields and playing with Suki the gorgeous dog. The property is set within the countryside and it was so peaceful. It has everything you need with lovely little extra touches. A delicious cake was waiting for us upon our arrival which was a massive hit. We walked down to the local pub for a Sunday roast and crawled back up the hill. The children really enjoyed visiting the big rock down the road and further afield, paddling in the stream. Robert was a fantastic host with a wealth of local knowledge. We had an amazing time at The Big Broom Cupboard and would definitely book again.

Fab time in the Broom Cupboard

Accommodation was fab, hosts were too, and the location was perfect, set in rolling farmlands the garden was lovely with a great view for the sunsets. Surrounded by a number of lovely villages, it seemed each with their own 500 year old gastro pub! It’s a great base to explore Devon and Cornwall

A lovely place to unwind and relax

My wife and I stayed at the Big Broom Cupboard for a week and were so impressed with both the property and location. The house is so comfortable with top notch furnishings a real home from home. set in beautiful countryside we felt so relaxed. Robert the owner made us very welcome, but without being intrusive we even had the added bonus of a lovely welcome each day from Sukie his gorgeous dog. If you are looking for a comfortable countryside cottage in a central location with good access to explore Devon then this is the place to stay. thank you Robert for a great week regards Mark & Karen Whittingham

Beautiful house...despite the rain!!

The house is everything as shown on the website and more!! Downstairs there is an exceptionally clean kitchen, full of everything you may need, a lovely lounge with a wonderful view and a king sized bedroom with a lovely wet room with a shower you never want to leave!! Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms and a large bathroom. There were so many personal touches which added to our stay, including a delicious homemade cake and flowers in each room. We were unable to sit outside because of the constant rain but the house is set up to really appreciate the sunset each evening. Robert is on hand to answer any questions you may have and to help with ideas for places to visit. Suki, his labradoodle, is a beautiful and friendly dog that I really wanted to take home with me!! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will not hesitate to rebook if we are ever in the area again!

Had a fantastic time staying at the Big Broom Cupboard! Robert and Sylvia were wonderful hosts who were so lovely and friendly and were always around if we needed anything. The house was easy enough to find and spotlessly clean and even arrived to a freshly baked cake which was delicious! Great location overlooking the farmland and in to the distance with some lovely sunsets. So peaceful and secluded with only the occasional mooing of cows. Gorgeous gardens to enjoy too.

Wonderful break in the countryside near Yelverton

My wife and I chose the property to take my mother who is in her 80s away for a Christmas break. We liked the fact that the property had recently been constructed and had a downstairs bedroom with ensuite bathroom that included a walk in shower, and was recently constructed and had under floor heating. The owners themselves were away at the same time as our visit but made arrangements for us to be welcomed by their friends that were staying in the main building to show us around the property, which has wonderful views of the countryside with a picture postcard pond and stream. The lounge had a Christmas tree with some presents and notwithstanding the wet weather outside the underfloor heating made the property feel warm and cosy throughout our stay. In advance of the booking we communicated several times with the owner in order to ensure that the kitchen had equipment and utensils that would cope with cooking the Christmas dinner. The kitchen did not disappoint including an excellent oven and a dish washer and table for 6. The kitchen was open plan with the lounge which meant that we could cook whilst watching the telly. The utility room, fridge and freezer were well stocked in case you had forgotten anything. We stayed for 4 nights. Fortunately on Christmas day the clouds broke and we had a beautiful bright sunny day. We visited Buckland Abbey, less than 1 mile away, which was the residence of Sir Francis Drake for 15 years, as well as the market town of Tavistock which had a lovely riverside walk. On Boxing Day we also walked part of Drake's trail near Yelverton and returned to the property soaking wet. We would definitely recommend the property and its location. We had a wonderful Christmas and look forward to perhaps returning some day.

An Idyllic Country Gem

We stayed at The Big Barn for two weeks and loved every minute. It is a short drive to the village shops in Yelverton, but you feel like you're tucked away in an idyllic retreat, far from the madding crowds! The barn, itself, is equipped with top quality appliances and finishing touches and the views over the farmland give the added treat of an abundance of birds, wildlife, cows and sheep. Ron and Sylvia are absolutely lovely - they left us to our own devices, but it was great to know they were there if we needed to ask them anything. The homemade sponge and extras awaiting out arrival were greatly appreciated as well. In short, five stars are not good enough for this holiday home - it deserves 10 at least! In fact, we've decided to delay returning home on the planned date and have booked another week at The Big Broom Cupboard!

Great holiday experience

Beautiful, new and clean property with quality fixtures and fittings. Great WiFi, smart TV’s and appliances. I can’t think of any items this property is lacking, the owners have thought of every possible item you could need on holiday. Wonderful views, and skies. Quiet and peaceful but quickly into the village for shops, petrol, pubs etc. On arrival we were greeted and made to feel welcome. Amazed by fresh flowers from the garden arranged in nearly all the rooms, along with some chocolates and provisions in the fridge. The most amazing homemade fresh cream Victoria sponge was waiting for us along with teacups etc out ready for us. We had privacy but also the reassurance of the owners close by. This all made for a perfect holiday in beautiful Devon. I would highly recommend this property.
