  We appreciated the delicious cakes, eggs and milk on arrival! The owners are friendly and helpful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. The secluded patio garden is a wonderful place to relax overlooking the sheep in the fields.

• "This is such a beautifully kept and well equipped cottage."

  Gill the host was fantastic. We had a lovely home made cake, local eggs and milk when we got into the cottage. We were even provided with enough logs for two nights with was a really bonus and not a usual occurrence when we stay away. We spent the weekend hiking and the location was just perfect as it’s located on the edge of Dartmoor. We like to cook in the evenings post hike and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make a big post hike roast. The bedrooms are beautifully comfortable with the master having access onto a huge patio that leads down to the main garden and overlooks the countryside. The garden is completely secure and my dog Zipp loved roaming around with no worries about him getting out. The cottage was pristinely clean throughout. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Gill! We’ll be back again.

  Thanks Benjamin for your feedback. We're pleased you liked the cottage and enjoyed your walks on Dartmoor. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

• "Perfect for our stay over Christmas and New Year."

  Extremely comfortable and very well equipped, to the extent we were easily able to cook Christmas dinner. Lovely owners who were extremely welcoming with homemade mince pies and cream, a Christmas hamper and the cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas for us. This was very much appreciated. Cottage sits in a perfect area for all parts of South and Central Devon, Dartmoor and Ashburton / Buckfastleigh, both of which are lovely with several great restaurants. We walked up Haytor on Christmas morning to be greeted by the ponies. And what amazing views - just 5 mins drive from the cottage takes you onto Dartmoor and all the walks.

  Thank you Sue, we appreciate your comments and are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Little Orchard. Hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

• "Absolutely fantastic in every respect."

  Friendly, lovely and helpful owners, gorgeous accommodation, spotless, excellent location for exploring south Devon with the edge of Dartmoor in sight and a very short drive away. The owners attention to detail is wonderful and so many thoughtful touches made us feel very welcome e.g. milk in the fridge, cakes, toiletries, holiday dog tag and welcome treats, fire assembled ready for lighting, cot assembled, baby monitor provided and detailed instructions for everything in the welcome pack. Couldn’t recommend staying here enough. Comfy beds and rooms, we had a wonderful restful break, thank you both.

• "We had a fantastic stay at Orchard Cottage!"

  From the moment we arrived, the host greeted us warmly and shared helpful tips about the area. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. Our 2-year-old especially loved the secret corridor hidden in the wardrobe—it was such a delightful surprise! The location was ideal, with so many wonderful activities nearby. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again!

• "Cottage was perfect- clean, comfortable and everything needed was provided."

  The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch as was the milk in the fridge and the fresh eggs. The hosts were ideal - present when needed but not in your face - their working farm is next to the cottage and we got to meet their super dogs (a similar breed to ours). Location was great - a short walk across fields and by the river to Ashburton and within a short drive to lots of dog-friendly pubs and good walking spots. PERFECT!!

  It’s no exaggeration to say it’s the best cottage we have ever stayed in. There is everything you could need and more - the extra touches are a lovely bonus. The garden is particularly great - perfectly designed for both humans and little dogs. The hosts are lovely and Flynn the farm dog is the sweetest, loveliest dog ever! I would recommend Little Orchard to anyone.

  The owners of Little Orchard have created the finest holiday property. Everything is first class from the cleanliness to the luxury provided in the lounge and bedrooms. A lot of thought and effort has gone into this facility. Situated on a working farm, the property benefits from extensive lawn and patio which provide private areas for relaxation. Make no mistake, this property is extremely good value for money.

  From arrival we were wowed not only by how beautifully the cottage is presented, but the thoughtful touches; a platter of delicious sweet treats, fresh eggs and milk for a hot drink on arrival. This immediately got the holiday off to a good start. Our hosts were extremely helpful and even let our children help with the farm animals - a real highlight. The cottage is perfectly positioned to explore the moors and visit the beach. The sofa and beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. Loved every moment.

  Couldn't ask for better accommodation or facilities. Lots of little extra touches including delicious homemade mince pies and chocolate cake. Gill and Gerald were perfect hosts, really helpful. The enclosed garden was great for our smallish dog - usually he finds at least one gap! Weather was unfortunately not great but that just means we have to come back to experience the wider area. We can't wait. Thanks again to our hosts for a great holiday.

• "Our family (2 adults, 2 teenage daughters and a labrador) stayed at Little Orchard for a week during Oct Half Term and could not have been happier."

  The property was clean, well-equipped and perfect for our needs. The weather was wet and windy (as expected for this time of year) so the log burner was great for warming up after soggy walks on the moors. Although the heating kept the place nice and cosy anyway. Although Little Orchard is slightly off the beaten track we still found the location ideal for exploring Dartmoor, the coast and local towns. Highly Recommended!

• "Probably the best property we have stayed in."

  Clean and comfortable. Best bed ever ! Soft towels and carpets, comfy sofa, well equipped. Great power shower. Wonderful garden which is completely secure even for a small dog. Split level is fabulous and it's so nice to be able to open the bedroom patio doors onto the top terrace.The property is next door to the owners' but is private and you don't feel intruded upon. It's also surprisingly quiet to say you're on a working farm.Their dogs may visit but that was never an issue. If you have a dog there's every reason to stay here. You are straight out onto a lovely walk. This property is a cut above with lots of nice touches. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these hosts and this gorgeous property.

• "We can not rate this property enough."

  Set in a beautiful picturesque location, that is so peaceful and quiet you can only hear the local farm animals. We were greeted on arrival by the owner Gill and her two gorgeous farm dogs, when we entered the cottage we were blown away by how beautiful it was inside, we were left scones, eggs, tea and coffee and even some treats for our own dog Chester. It has everything and more in my eyes. Open plan downstairs, including kitchen, dining and sitting room, upstairs two beautifully decorated rooms, each with their own bathroom. Then off the main bedroom, doors lead out to a patio area with gorgeous views. You can access the lower garden via here and also from the kitchen and there are some stairs that lead down to the front of the property too. It is a perfect base to then venture out and explore more of Devon, but you can then come back and relax in tranquility. My mum, myself and Chester had a wonderful stay xx

  A lot of thought and attention to detail went into the creation of this cottage and it has been tastefully finished, with old world charm and all mod cons. The scones and clotted cream were a delicious treat and also Bruno the dog was made to feel welcome with his little treats too. Gill and hubby were working hard on the farm but had time to check on us and made us feel very welcome. A beautiful setting and next to the amazing Dartmoor National Park, and lots of lovely little villages to visit in this most beautiful part of the world. A splendid time was had and we hope to return soon.
