Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Our Stay in Nuthatch
Having been invited to a wedding in nearby Huntsham we booked three nights in the Nuthatch Cottage. The owners cannot be faulted in their helpfulness and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay.

A real gem
This was our second visit to Three Gates Farm this year and we stayed again (this time for a week) in the Nuthatch. It was as fabulous as our previous stay. We were made very welcome and the cottage is warm, comfortable and cosy whilst also being peaceful, quiet and tranquil....we had some lovely meals at the Fishermans Cot and Swan at Bampton. We would also recomend the fish and chips from the take away in Bampton too. A visit to Bickleigh Mill for afternoon tea is a nice treat and a trip to both the North and South coasts is worth the drive. However, it is the lovely relaxing stay at the cottage that made it special. Thanks again to Lynn and Jonathon.

Beautifully well-kept and welcoming cottage in a great location
Calm and quiet in a great location in the lovely Devon countryside, within easy reach of main routes and towns. Nuthatch was well equipped, very well presented, clean and homely - a delight to come back to after a day walking the Devon and Somerset hills. The on site facilities were also great, with the swimming pool and sauna providing a little added luxury and relaxation. Happy to go back and stay again.

Lovely break with wedding in middle
We booked the 1 bedroom cottage Nuthatch so we could attend a wedding at nearby Huntsham Court. We were so impressed by pictures and reviews that we ended up booking 6 nights. We were not disappointed. Jonathan and Lyn were very welcoming and accommodating. They were there when you need advice, but in the background most of the time. The fresh eggs from their chickens were so delicious I bought some more to bring home ! The whole place was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The only thing we needed more of was some sun! Despite this we had a great time and I have gone back to work very refreshed. We would definitely stay there again and bring back our son and his wife with grandson as it is a very family focused site.

Excellent, Peaceful, Clean & Tidy
We had a wonderful time at Three Gates Farm. We stayed in the 2 person Nuthatch cottage for 3 nights and it was so peaceful. I have a very busy job and it was great to just enjoy the surroundings, read a book and visit the local towns. The pool was also great and we made use of this facility a few times a day. Highly recommend this cottage.

New Year Say in Devon
Nuthatch within the 3 gates Farm site was a lovely romantic place to stay, better than any self catering cottage. It had it all for us, a gorgeous pool and sauna that was sampled every day of the visit. It is the best and most luxurious, cosy , and well kitted out converted cow shed around. Despite the appalling weather the country was experiencing during our stay, Nuthatch provided everything we needed each day we returned from our travels. This was enhanced by the log burner which provided the warmth we needed and was very much appreciated. It was even better when night time came as the four poster really made the nights special. In a delightful location, thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful, peaceful, welcoming, fantastic
I would gladly recommend this amazing little haven in the middle of the beautiful Devonshire country side. The cottages are like show homes, the welcome from Jonathan and Lynn could not be warmer. The pool was perfect, along with the sauna of course. I can't wait to go back 😀 my dogs also loved it, pet friendly.

our stay at Three Gates
We had a lovely stay. We would highly recommend the Nuthatch cottage for a quiet getaway. The facilities were excellent. The owners were very friendly and even left us a complementary cream tea for our arrival.
