Our extended family really enjoyed their stay.Comfortable cottage although lay out of bathrooms not very convenient. Great location and excellent pool and games room. Bjørn the chef gave us a lovely meal. Some garden furniture in the lawned garden would have been nice - outside dining table was in the car park.

Home away from home, without the stress.
The property is stunning and has something for everyone. It was clean and the kitchen well equipped so we could happily eat in, although there are some nice places to go to if you drive. On arrival there was a lovely hamper and welcome note and detailed books listing places to visit and various pubs and eateries. As the weather wasn't the best toward the end of our stay it was made bearable by having the games room, indoor pool, card table and roulette wheel. Many a fun night had by all. Thank you Chris and Jill.

Lovely quiet break
Amazing cottage, lovely size indoor pool which was fab for rainy days. The owners catered for everything you can think of, with plenty of things to do inside. Pool, air hockey, table tennis and more. You do need a car to get to the shops as it’s quite a walk on foot. Great for large groups as there is plenty of room here.

Awesome family break
Would it work out? It was the first time we attempted a family holiday and were not sure how it would go? Bear in mind we are a mixed and lively group of 12 including two geriatrics and two babies under 5 months!! I had my doubts as to how it would work out but inwardly reasoned that you can put up with anything for a few nights. But, how wrong I was. This experimental family break was totally brilliant. This wonderful, superbly equiped cottage hit the spot with everyone and the fabulous pool and amazing games room transformed it into something beyond our youngsters wildest dreams. Afternoons on the beach were followed by swims in the poll and rounded off with table tennis tournaments! The host's, Jill's, helpful and accommodating can-do approach set the tone of this truly wonderful family break.

Beautiful cottage, endless fun
Me and my family ages ranging from 66 - 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the pool was amazing and well used by all, the cottage was clean and well equipped for all 10 of us and the games room was an added bonus. Although the weather wasn't on our side - the door into the pool room from the cottage was so handy! We would 100% recommend this cottage and nothing was too much trouble for the owners.

Very enjoyable stay
All 9 members of our family enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage in August. We made good use of the swimming pool and games room. As the senior members in our group we did find the local walks challenging, however we did manage to walk to Hartland Quay and Hartland Abbey. We enjoyed the eggs from Hollacombe Farm next door. We booked massages/facials/reflexology with Heal to Soul and everybody enjoyed the experience. We found the locals very friendly especially at St Nectan's Church. One day we caught the bus to Bude which was very entertaining! Lastly, a big thankyou to Jill and Chris for their prompt replies to our queries.

Fabulous base with on site entertainment
This is a charming thatched property in a hamlet between Bude and Bideford, totally enclosed with loads of charming features. We had a mix of teenagers and children with dogs and the house is brilliantly suited to cope with that. The pool room is the reason we came and was well used, the games room added some evening entertainment and the seating outside was numerous for a large group. This is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday, spending time together exploring walks, beaches and the local towns. It is rural so a car is essential to get about. There are a couple of good pubs in Hartland and the nearest large supermarkets are 30 mins away. Chris and Jill who live across the road are friendly and welcoming and very respectful of privacy, however on hand to answer any questions or sort things out. We had a lovely time here making memories.

everything you need and more
Booked this cottage for a weekend of family get together for myself husband two daughters their husbands 2 grandchildren and 2 dogs. Having rented properties in the past we took everything with us we thought we would need, right down to washing up liquid, kitchen cloths, bin bags and spare toilet roll. It was so refreshing to find the cottage fully stocked with bathroom and kitchen products. the only thing we had to use from our 'box' was spare toilet rolls. There was a lovely note waiting for us with wine and other bits, and when we ran out of logs for the fire a quick phone message and we were delivered a wheelbarrow full for a small cost. The swimming pool was lovely and warm and used twice daily with the grandchildren. in fact we had a job to get them out of it. Beds were comfy and there were 4 TVs downstairs two of them smart TVs so we just had to sign into our Netflix account. We had a lovely time and the cottage is very spacious the photos really do not do it justice. The garden was fully enclosed making is safe for the children and the dogs. I only have one tiny tiny criticism and that is there was no outside lighting that was working in the courtyard outside the back doors. And being a winter trip it was dark early. We enjoyed it so much our daughters have already booked us in again next year. PS make sure you visit the pub just down the road at Hartland Point on the cliffs it was lovely.
