Loved my stay here. Linda was the most lovely and kind host, a real gem of a lady. 10/10 The accomodation had everything one could need. Really thoughtful touches, very clean and the view was beautiful. Great breakfast, really delicious and well cooked local produce. Ideally suited for events at Lifton or Roadford Lake. Big thank you to Linda and hubbie for making me feel so welcome.

We (a choir from Germany) spent a week at Frankaborough Farm. The place is fantastic for everybody who wants to escape the busy city. The countryside is just lovely. You have a free view to Dartmoor. We experienced a most welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast was so delicious and even very hungry people won‘t be able to empty the buffet. Thank you Linda for you hospitality!

The Banbury's are a fun and marvellous welcoming family. The breakfasts are terrific. All the accommodation is spotlessly clean and tidy. I don't want to recommend them too highly in case lots of people book and we can't come again! I love staying here.

The cottage in which we stayed in was honestly so beautiful, picturesque and comfy. Kitchen with everything you need, and then some, lmao. There's a bloody cheese preserver storage jars. Tbh that's pretty cool. Breakfast was also amazing. Farm makes for a really nice walk too. Passed out seconds into lying in the bed.

Linda, Derek and their family are great hosts. The accommodation is well equipped. Kitchen has all the mod-cons Rooms are warm, comfortable and spacious. The WiFi is excellent. We had a very happy stay. Overall I would recommend this quiet rural retreat to people wanting a small taste of farming life.

A warm welcome and big smile from Linda was just the tonic after a long drive from Manchester. Nothing was too much trouble and the hot tub was a welcome bonus. We stayed in the ilodge and it was perfect for the two of us and our puppy. Stunning views from the lodge and it had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Warm and comfortable. Even the storm didn’t disturb us. Perfect place to stay for our first visit to Devon and Cornwall.

We had breakfast at Linda’s while we were staying at the rewilding project nearby.Linda was very welcoming. The breakfast was nice. It had everything you need. Cereals, tea, coffee, and if you wish a full English. For my man, she even made vegetarian sausages. We were very happy at Linda’s and I can recommend it fully.

This was the second time I stayed at Frankaborough Farm to attend a photography workshop at the nearby animal sanctuary. The previous one was in 2017. All I can really say is the hospitality is second to none! Linda (the owner) and farmer's wife cooks the most delicious breakfasts that she serves in her conservatory or kitchen! Linda then provided us with hot pasties for lunch at the animal sanctuary. I stayed in a three bedroom cottage next to the farmhouse, and it was exceptionally clean and well appointed with a very comfortable bed. I have just read some of the other reviews and thought maybe I should return to enjoy the Devon/Cornish countryside with the other half!! This is a working farm, which would be wonderful for young children who have never lived in the country. Linda and I chatted on the morning I left and we were both the same professions; Registered General Nurses! And she originally came from North London, the same as me! Coincidences! Thank you Linda for another great stay!
