“A lovely character property, plenty of space, very clean, plenty of linen, and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen.”

The swimming pool is indeed heated, and of a decent size. Equally the pool area is also kept at a comfortable temperature.

The swimming pool is indeed heated, and of a decent size. Equally the pool area is also kept at a comfortable temperature. The two complaints i would have are that the games area is not heated sufficiently, and does smell a bit damp. Secondly whilst the accommodation is for 10 you can only sit 8 at the dining table. However, neither of those minor detractions spoilt our long weekend. Some fabulous walks out from the house, which was the main reason for being there. Would book again.

“The cottage was very spacious, well equipped and certainly had a very useful, large, secure yard ideal for our dogs (three large dogs).”

The village offered some wonderful walks with and without the dogs. T The swimming pool was sooooo wonderful and really got used a great deal so a big thumbs up there. There were only really two downsides- The tv's were not tuned in to make use of all the channels and whilst holidays are not centred on the tv, some evenings were after a day out. That said the separate rooms offer the scope to have tv for children and adults if not watching something together. Secondly, the games room was great for everyone, again a nice separate facility if adults want to enjoy time out from their children, but can access them easily, but the smell of damp really was unbearable. This addressed would rectify the unpleasantness.

Thank you for your feedback and appreciation of the extras we have added to the property. The two large TVs are new smart TVs and at times, if there is a power cut, may need re-setting. There are instructions for this at the property and had I known this was a problem I would have happily come over and reset them for you. We keep a heater on in the games room to prevent the damp. In future we will change the switch to ensure it is not switched off and runs continually. I am pleased you had a lovely time. Owner relations

“Orchard cottage is in a beautiful peaceful area, great for a family get together.”

I loved looking out of the upstairs windows at the pretty front garden The indoor pool is a good size for children and adults. It means you can have a great holiday whatever the weather. The friendly owners were nearby to help but they left us alone to enjoy our holiday in peace.

“I must wonder why I have to pay so much for my dogs to come with me.”

£75 for a week for three small dogs that make no mess is getting very expensive.

About the location

HARTLAND

Meddon 5.5 miles.

The village of Hartland, whose parish includes the hamlet of Stoke to the west and the village of Meddon in the south, is the most northwesterly settlement in the county of Devon, England. The town of Hartland is remote and hosts many craft shops and potteries in addition to cafés and restaurants. There is a long main street, with cottages either side, leading to the town square and the church of St John. Enjoy views of the coastline in the British Isles from Hartland Point. There are many vantage points, accessible by car or on foot, from which you can admire views of the coast. Not far away is Hartland Quay, with much to see and available accommodation. A local Shipwreck Museum is certainly worth a visit.

Note: Some low lintels.
