“a perfect place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We have just returned from a short 3 day stay at Downe Cottages and could not fault it one bit,the accomodation (clematis cottage) was spotless and fully equipped with all the kitchen utensils you could want,the log fire was a joy,everything was very comfortable and home from home and was always nice returning back to the cottage after our days out along the coast,the view from the cottage was outstanding and the peace and quiet was lovely,the spa was also very relaxing so overall a perfect place to stay if its relaxation you require,a big thankyou to Jeremy & Linda as hosts but to be fair we hardy saw them as everything was perfect and we had no need to ask for anything so was nice to be left alone to enjoy our break,We would highly recommend a stay here

“Fabulous break, we will definitely return..............”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

We had a family break from friday to monday, & wished we could have stayed on. We were in Vine Cottage, spotlessly clean & comfortable & well equipped in every way-soap, showergel, tissues, dishwasher soap, teatowels all good quality etc. The surroundings are beautiful with lovely views over the sea to Lundy island from the childrens play area. We especially loved the walk to Berry Beach down the cliffs (very safe & easy as rails all the way!). All detailed info about local amenities, walks, activities is provided by Jeremy & Linda whom we found incredibly friendly & helpful. Infact we didnt need to venture out that much as just sitting by the lilypond with my book & soaking up the peacefulness was an experience in itself. You can even order food to your cottage & prepared dishes will arrive that can just be popped into the oven & be ready with half an hour or so. Lovely food at reasonable prices. The spa & staff seemed lovely, but we didnt make as much use of it as we could have in such a short time, so will have to go back! My daughter loved it too as there was a playground & beaches & lots of activities so close by. Well done Jeremy & Linda is all I have to say!!

Room Tip: Vine Cottage suitable for a couple with one child. Very comfortable.

“Hartland, with everything you could want at your doorstep”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

Having spent a long weekend with friends, I would love to go back and spend at least another week.
The cottages have everything that you might need to spend an enjoyable break away from the hustle and bustle of work life, comfortable, well-equipped and very, very quiet.
More than that, you only need to go a few miles for stunning beaches, and the countryside is all around.
Within a stone's throw, the lovely village of Hartland can be found, make sure you get the chance to enjoy the fish & chips on the square in front of the church...
A must for people looking for either a quiet break, or the more challenging looking for aquatic adventures!

Room Tip: ask for a better deal!!

“A very comfortable break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

We rented two adjoining cottages, which we found very convenient and enjoyable. We found the cottages very comfortable, very well equiped and the location was stunning. We received a warm reception from Jeremy and Lynda, and they were very helpful in terms of providing local information. There was plenty to do in the area, and will certainly be staying longer next time!
