    The pool steps were unsafe and need fixing, I wouldn't have wanted a child to use these. We advised on first day but no-one came to fix them during our week's visit. The whole general pool area in need of some attention with the wood rotting in some places. The bedrooms have no wardrobes in them and there are two good sized double bedrooms but two small twin rooms with tiny bathrooms. Not really suitable to push together as doubles due to head space. Not grwat fir a party of 8 adults. The beds in the twin beds are obviously for children as very soft. The bathrooms - the two downstairs were generous in size, however, the showers were terrible. You couldn't use the shower freestanding, you had to take the hose out and use on body as the water trickled out. The two upstairs, the one in the small bedroom worked really well but was noisy as had a saniflow system attached so when you used the toilet, tap or shower it could be heard downstairs. The one in the bigger room again trickled out and was a waste of space. Linen on the beds although looked clean it smelt musty. The table in the kitchen was wobbly as were the chairs. We noticed someone had commented on this in the reviews but this hadn't been fixed. The outside seating area was unusable as the table and chairs was very dirty, the cushiones need to be taken inside when not in use. The lounge was a comfortable space. We had a problem with ants in the kitchen and pool area and the heating with the radiators gurgling (loudly especially at night). Someone came straight out to look at both issues but both issues returned later in the week. To be honest we were disappointed with the cottage, it needed a good deep clean, there were big cobwebs everywhere.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your stay. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that aspects of the property did not meet your expectations. I would like to clarify that we did attend the property during your stay to address the issues that were reported at the time, including the concerns regarding the ants and heating. Our team responded promptly, however, we understand your frustration that these issues reoccurred later in the week. With regards to the water pressure, this was not raised with us at any point during your stay. Had this been brought to our attention at the time, we would have arranged for this to be investigated and resolved as quickly as possible. We do always encourage guests to report any issues during their stay, as it gives us the opportunity to resolve them promptly and ensure your holiday experience is not impacted. Property Owner

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.
