  • "Pleasant enough location, the is well within reach of all the main parts of devon being located just off the main spine road."

    The front of desk staff at the main building did occasionally feel quite abrupt in their manner, never impolite, but it did feel like I was being told off rather than spoken with when getting information from them. Felt more like admin staff than reception staff so missing that customer focus approach in my interactions. Almost like i was being an inconvenience by asking simple questions like etiquette for the pool, facility open times. all that being said we wouldnt think twice about staying again, although I would probably look for a bungalow a bit closer to the facilities, this bungalow is up near the top of the hill.

  • "Arrived at location to be told Swimming pool was not available."

    Arrived at cottage to find only one Bathroom not two as is clearly advertised in your description. We are most disappointed and feel some recompense should be made.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that the pool was closed on your arrival due to a maintenance issue, we had to await a part to come in, this was fixed on the Monday and reopened. We have been in touch with Sykes Cottages and asked them to relook at the descriptions for bathrooms, this has now been done, we are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused yourselves.

  • "Harcombe House is a fantastic location providing peace and quiet with beautiful countryside views."

    The bungalow was immaculately clean, light and spacious and comfortable. A fantastic cafe/bar providing lovely cakes and food. There is a lovely pool, tennis court, childrens play area available along with good countryside walks. All of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Being a firefighters charity premises providing support and rehabilitation just adds to how special this place is. I am already looking to book again. Thank you for such a relaxing holiday. P.S As a fire Officer, the fire safety standards on site are "Gold" standard.

    Thank you very much for your lovely feedback Property Owner

  • "The location is absolutely stunning, with the right amount of facilities and amenities."

    The only thing that would have been helpful would have been a small on-site shop to buy essentials, but that's a minor point. The facilities for families was great, but the site still stayed quiet and private - the balance was perfect. Would have been great to have earlier / later options for the pool, but I get that there are reasons why that's not viable. The accommodation was wonderful, and amazingly clean. A bit bright in the mornings as the blinds did not block all the light, but again this is a minor gripe. Overall we felt it was one of the best places we'd stayed in more than 10 years of annually holidaying in Devon.

The villages of Christow, Lower and Higher Ashton, Dunsford and Hennock are peaceful locations for holidays with beautiful scenery all around with hills, fields, rivers and stunning thatched cottages. The entire area in and around Chudleigh is a walker's paradise with magnificent views to be admired. If you’re feeling a little more energetic then you could try your hand at rock climbing, go kayaking on the nearby River Teign, mountain biking or trekking around the location and beyond. Spend a day in the tradition seaside town of Dawlish, perfect for relaxing beach days with a variety of family-friendly attractions and amusements, while The Lawn and Brook is where you can find the famed majestic black swans. Spend a day in the ancient town of Exeter, with its wonderful City Walls encompassing its centre as well as the wonders of its Gothic cathedral, Exeter Castle, and many more landmarks awaiting to be discovered.
