Luxury holiday homes in Devon with tons of creature comforts and dazzling eccentricity.

It is run with charm, humour and a dash of idiosyncrasy by Richard and Sheila. A collection of six self-catering cottages in Devon, set in a rolling green valley, down narrow Devon country lanes.

A collection of six self-catering holiday cottages in Devon set in a rolling green valley half a mile from the river Dart, down narrow, Devon country lanes. Fingals is hemmed in by high hedgerows and a world away from real life. Everything you need is here at Fingals. There is an immaculate (seasonal) grass tennis court, table tennis, a well stocked games room with snooker, table footy and other games, a sauna, gym, an indoor heated pool and much loved, beautifully tended gardens.Children can play and make friends, as you knock up your favourite tipple and loll on a steamer chair.
Beautiful oak beams and trusses, interspersed with glass, giving it a wonderful rustic, open-plan, warm and spacious feeling. Aptly named and built this is a dream house for the romantically minded with 3 balconies overlooking the stream, grass court & the hills beyond. Flexible accommodation with glorious views as you open the bedroom door onto your own half-glazed balcony overlooking the gardens & tennis court. Lower Mill is an open plan space full of original features with period bricked stone arched mill workings and a private, stone terrace to the rear.

You should be aware that this accommodation provider has a particularly strict policy for what happens if a guest is so unlucky as to contract Covid, and that it is rigorously enforced. Government guidance requires that providers "Ensure you have a policy in place which covers what to do if there is a case of COVID-19 in your accommodation facility. Guests with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should return home if they reasonably can, but this may not always be possible." At Fingals the policy is: "If it is confirmed they have Covid 19 [guests] should return home immediately.
If a guest is too ill to return home immediately they will become liable for." In our case, we asked for an extra night (obviously at our cost) so as to plan a Covid-safe journey home made a lot more complex because of a toddler who had just received a Covid + result at the end of our holiday. We were initially led to believe that this would be fine, but at the last minute were told - very suddenly and emphatically - that we had no option but to leave immediately, which we were forced to do (in fact that we ought to have left the day before we got our result).

A very unique experience. Fingals is set in a beautiful, quiet valley surrounded by rolling hills. This part of Devon is secluded yet not far from Totnes or Dartmouth (20-30 mins by car). The owners, Richard and Shelia, are warm and welcoming hosts who will make you feel relaxed and well cared for. Highly recommended.

We had a marvellous time with the family here. Four adults, two children ran around, explored, went missing, played games, BBQed, played tennis, swam, and ventured to Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Fingals was our base camp and it was a brilliant, quirky, unique and very very English which is what made it a dream. Inspired by art, seeing that there's an art gallery next door, this place made you feel like you had run away and were at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. We would highly recommend this little hidden gem.

What a lucky find. we stumbled on Fingals on our way back from Cornwall and were welcomed with open arms by Richard and Sheila. We woke to bird song and sunshine and had a most delicious breakfast. We loved it so much we stayed another night and spent the day in the magical, colourful garden, played tennis on the perfect grass tennis court, swam in their delightful pool and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
