ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm

Anran is a slice of paradise. A true gem tucked away in the most gorgeous part of Devon. Edwin and Mike went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after and catered for. Not only was their hospitality fantastic, but we really had a sense of community while staying here. Anran gives back to the people and businesses around them which is what makes the place feel really special. I HIGHLY recommend and I will most definitely stay again. Edwin and Mike have brought international quality and the highest hosting standards to quaint Devon. I recommend stopping through their farm shop for some top quality, organic, locally grown (on the farm) fruit and veg.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself to Mike & Edwin’s beautiful English country estate. For a big event like a wedding or a reunion it’s perfect but it’s also great for a simple unplugged family weekend. Mike and Edwin have overhauled this country estate to the most modern conveniences — our room was unbelievable— so stylish and modern in and old county home - we had a free standing tub and the most comfortable bed/bedding ever!— every detail was taken care of. And the location blew our minds. I don’t know how they do it all, but what they’ve created is something extremely special. We had a lake side cocktails with a five star food. We had a pig roast with Moroccan pillow seats. We had an 80s dance party that would make you blush! They even had a special cake made for an eight year old’s birthday, that happened to be the same weekend— so thoughtful. And I even caught Edwin blowing up the pool toys himself for the pool party ( that pool is so gorgeous too). Every part of our weekend was so unique and special, we’re still talking about it a year later and we want to go back as soon as we can. This is one of those magical places you return to over and over. We had AMAZING food, all our activities were scheduled perfectly and executed with class, charm and fun. They have such an eye fir design , ever building is more beautiful than the last…The staff was so friendly and helpful. I just can’t say enough about Anran- Tidwell Farm and Mine & Edwin themselves.

Anran was a dream holiday home! Everything was 10/10 experience, the rooms were beautiful, great taste of interior design and felt really comfortable. We had the room with connected kitchen which was really helpful. I enjoyed the vast space and beautiful landscape. The owners were wonderful and very helpful. We have lovely scones and cream at a nearby church and the closest pub had an amazing sunday roast! All walking distance. I would definitely go back!! Thank you for having us From Japan

Had a great stay, the pictures are great, but they don't do it justice; it's gorgeous. The owners and Matthew (the manager) are really helpful. They gave us vegetables and flowers from their garden as an early bird thank you, helped us set up (hen party) and gave us the courtyard for free bc it wasn't booked and the rain was pouring.

The place is beautiful and amazing. Love the esthetic of the room in the barn. We get to hangout/go crazy by the lake/pond. Love how they give back to the community there too with the honest shop where we can our eggs, juices and sausage for our breakfast. Great stay for friends and family. The only sad thing is we only get 3days there as they are fully booked with wedding!!! Will definitely be back.

Edwin and Mike have created a fantastic country retreat that's perfect for disconnecting from hectic city life and reconnecting with nature and loved ones. My group of ten friends and I stayed in the barn rooms which were perfect for our large group. The configuration of the beautifully designed rooms/studios allowed everyone to have plenty of space and privacy while also providing communal space for us to gather and share meals. The large property was perfect for wandering to take in the views from the hilltops, visit with the alpacas and pigs, the gardens or stroll into the village for dinner at the pub. Our group also spent a day at the lake, swimming, enjoying the perfect summer weather and playing with Mike and Edwin's sweet dogs Gibson and Bradley. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Anran for a quiet retreat with a partner or for a celebration with friends.
