• "Well what can we say about this amazing property."

  Peter and Jackie are perfect hosts. Luddon Farm and Orchard Cottage is a peaceful and tranquil haven. Its quaint and quirky layout and decor was perfect. Such a Gem of a place, so glad we found it! Would love to return some time soon. The owners are so thoughtful they make you feel so welcome and let you settle in and explore this idyllic setting. Giving you lots of little pointers to make your stay even more relaxing and smooth running. Nothing was too much of a problem! Even our little dog, who can be a little protective, nervous or over excitable at times; where new things and places are involved loved his stay. He was intrigued by all the other animals on the farm. None of us wanted to leave including our two older teenage kids. That is saying something, as they are sometimes difficult to please not always wanting to do the same thing. The Hot tub made a wonderful addition to the holiday, which was another thing we all thoroughly enjoyed!

  The cottage was beyond expectation, quirky and the most well equipped we have ever stayed in and the front and back gardens were secure enough for our Jack Russell especially while we were in the hot tub...what a bonus that was. Cream tea, fresh eggs from their own chickens, milk, bread and home made jam were very welcoming. Peter said we could exercise our Jack Russell in his 'sand field' which was perfect as it was fully enclosed and Lloyd loved it. If you're not familiar with the area please speak to Peter because his knowledge of local amenities and places of interest are second to none. Thank you both for a wonderful, memorable holiday, hope to come back soon.

  We chose this cottage for its hot tub and quirky design. We were not disappointed. The area is so beautiful and quiet. The views from the cottage are wonderful. The hot tub was fantastic! I was worried that being at the front of the cottage it wouldn't be private but it was so we could all enjoy it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived the radio was gently playing in the background which I thought was a nice touch as were the lovely fresh flowers, bread, milk, fresh eggs from the farms chickens, biscuits, homemade jam ( which was delicious) We were aloud to pet the dogs, horses and to feed the chickens which I loved. I would definitely recommend this beautiful quirky cottage to everyone. Our teenage daughter loved having the bottom floor to herself. This cottage hit the spot. We have all had a wonderful time.

  This offered much more spacious accommodation, especially for our daughter who then had some independence in that area.

The Orchard was clean, tidy and had all comforts of home, the woodburner was cosy on the cooler evenings whilst the hot tub and garden areas thoroughly enjoyed during warmer days at the cottage and also after days out. Would definatly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet holiday but within easy reach of Dartmoor and the coast.

  (thank you) The cottage is only a mile away from an easy main road and the road to the cottage was so quiet that we only met a couple of vehicles all week. We were very lucky with the weather and explored the area every day, Okehampton is a beautiful, friendly town and is ideally situated for getting onto the moor and other attractive villages very easily. We walked miles each day, then returned to have a welcome dip in the hot tub. The hosts were welcoming and always around to help with any queries we had and to top up the logs well before we ran out. We enjoyed our stay in the cottage very much, but if we were to book again we would probably pay a little more and book the adjoining cottage which we feel has a much more private hot tub and a garden.

It was in a beautiful setting and although it was mid winter we still used the hot tub daily. It is in easy access of Dartmore and lots of country walks and within an hour of the beach. We will definitely visit again, thank you Peter and Jackie.

• "We loved this cottage, it was so quirky but so cosy."

  We originally booked it because it had a hot tub, but we were so snuggled, comfy & cosy that we didn't get round to using it, so we will definitely be back. I could live in it permanently xx Peter and Jackie our hosts were lovely and so helpful and the extras that we were not expecting were amazing. Along with tea and coffee making facilities, they left us milk, bread, butters, sauces, jams, crisps, chocolates, a complete cream tea ( so nice) a bottle of Prosecco, orange juice plus much more that I can't remember. The bathroom had every toiletry a lady would need amazing, plus robes for use with the hot tub. As we stayed there over the Christmas period, it was all decorated beautifully, we had a Christmas in the entrance hall and another huge one in the lounge. With the fairy lights and the log burner, we were in heaven. I can not praise this cottage or our hosts enough. 5 STARS... 10/10 Thank you xx

• "We have recently returned from a Fantastic stay at The Orchard cottage in Devon, upon arrival we were met by the owners Peter and Jackie who were so friendly and accommodating."

  The cottage itself was made to feel so Christmassy with Christmas trees, decorations, lights, the whole works!! It looked and felt so magical and a home from home, we were so impressed and it certainly exceeded our expectations. We have never stayed at a cottage with so many little extras included from the cream tea on arrival and bottle of prosecco as it was Christmas, also all the little essentials like bread, milk, cereals, butter, jams, tea, coffees, biscuits, the list goes on.. I would definitely recommend staying at this cottage for a cosy, peaceful stay in a beautiful rural location and the hot tub was a lovely added extra, which we made the most of!! We will certainly be returning for another stay in the near future. Thank you again to Peter and Jackie for making us feel so welcome and for a memorable Christmas break.

• "Our family had a fantastic surprise when we saw how fully equipped this cosy country cottage was on our arrival."

  We have stayed in many self catering cottages over the years but the little extras with this one were beyond all expectations, there were all toiletries, milk,, tea, coffee, biscuits, cereal, fresh flowers and even a cream tea. Of course the hot tub was a great addition , being able to sit in it watching the birds and sunsets was a high point of our holiday. There were many places to visit nearby including Bude, Looe, Dartmoor Prison, Dartington Crystal, Widecombe on the Moor and Okehampton Castle. We would all recommend staying at The Orchard.

  On arrival we were greeted by the owners (Peter and Jackie) who made us feel very welcome . It was such a lovely surprise to enter the kitchen area to see a lovely cream tea waiting for us and fresh flowers ! When you have travelled a long journey the last thing you want to do is to dash out to the nearest shop to buy essentials . However this wasn’t necessary as there was bread, milk , eggs and other essentials ready and waiting ! There is so much to see and do within only a few miles of the accommodation . There is local bike hire, lovely villages ( with good pub food ). We have teenage children and were spoilt for choice on theme parks. Bude beach is great and well worth a visit . The icing on the cake was discovering that Peter and Jackie also have dog kennels. We have a 7 month old puppy called Willow and up until that point we had never left her with anyone . However , the kennels were really spacious and the fee very reasonable . It was quite obvious that Peter and Jackie are dog lovers so it was nice to know our willow was well cared for whilst we had a couple of trips out without her. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be returning.

  Everything in the cottage was spotlessly clean and ready for us on arrival. We found the dog sitting services invaluable as we were able to leave the dogs knowing they were safe in the newly built kennels and would get a walk on the days we wanted to visit places dogs were not allowed. The area is beautiful and a perfect base for exploring Devon and surrounding areas will make a return visit some time in the future cannot recommend this place enough thank you for making our holiday perfect

  We felt as though all the bed linen and blankets( not needed) were of the highest quality. This cottage is ideal for the perfect getaway and Peter is your very own tour guide giving tips on where best to go for days out and pub grub. Nothing is too much for him. The welcome pack was gratefully recieved too. The hot tub is amazing and we used it lots. All in all a fab holiday was had and we would definitely recommend this holiday cottage. 5 stars all round

• "Orchard Cottage is an extremely well appointed, clean, warm & cosy home from home with the emphasis on home."

    We would describe our stay as a dog friendly self catering experience with hotel-like personal attention. The owners were sensitive to our needs and interacted when necessary whilst ensuring us that they were always available if need be. They are kind souls and it was a pleasure to be looked after by them.  The accommodation is ideally situated with supermarkets in Oakhampton and Tavistock which we found useful to visit on a return drive from walking on Dartmoor. Our visit was idyllic and we went home rested, refreshed and very glad we chose such a beautiful property and location. Peter & Jackie are absolute stars and we look forward to returning one day.

• "The owners were incredibly welcoming!"

  They made sure the cottage was warm on our arrival and stocked with bread and milk, scones with jam and cream, and all sorts of extras we didnt expect. Also we had other things like a towel for the dog, and a bowl which we weren't expecting either and the owners left us a bone for our dog also. The cottage was lovely, and very clean and cosy. The area was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for more! The owners were on hand always should we need anything extra, and made sure we were ok for logs for the fire etc. They also said we didn't need to rush to leave which was really nice. We struggled to get our dog to leave when we came home! I think he wanted to move in. Perfect place I would definitely recommend, and I'm quite critical and difficult to please but I always appreciate good service but this was definitely beyond good service. Faultless!!!
