    We absolutely loved everything about the property. Our experience at Fullabrook Farm was just perfect. The Shepherds Hut had everything we needed and more. The bed was super comfy, had great cooking facilities and a lovely shower. The host left a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge which was a lovely surprise. We would love to stay again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Devon. The views of course are unreal.

    The cabin was just absolutely stunning. From the views (the moon is so clear at night), the absolute silence, and the little thoughtful things in the cabin (hot chocolate, marshmallows and Prosecco)! It was such a beautiful place to stay and I was so lucky to stay here twice!! The best night sleep I’ve had in a really long time. Zoe was such a lovely host, and the whole experience was divine.

The rooms are very clean and we loved the superking bed so comfy, they were also very good they all wore masks which made us feel very safe, we had evening meals as well which were really lovely, cooked to perfection and very reasonable. The chef makes his own granola which was gorgeous. i highly recommend this pub we will deffo be back next year.
