Harcombe House Bungalow 12

16 Customer Reviews

• "We had a lovely week at Harcombe House bungalow 12."

  The bungalows are well equipped & very clean. Lunch in the stables cafe was excellent & good value & we enjoyed drinks in the bar most nights. I reported a couple of minor faults at reception & these were fixed while we were out on the same day. We will be back again as we had a lovely chilled week in beautiful surroundings and enjoyed exploring Devon.

• "I'm sure it's been reported many time before, that is the toilet is very very small otherwise the accommodation very good."

  Sadly the fishing was not so good, the area lacked maintenance and the fish non existent. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

• "Property was clean and spacious, beds were comfortable."

  The description of facilities needs to be more detailed as there isn't a restaurant, only a cafe during the daytime but not open all week. The bar is also open restricted times. The games room should either have pictures of what is actually in there or details of what is there. The gym isn't available for under 18s and the pool needs to be booked. Given that these are the criteria we look for when booking a property it wasn't ideal for us so maybe giving more detail would be better.

• "Although the bungalow was lovely the problem with the toilet door could do with being rectified."

  If you have difficulty in moving the squash to get in there is hard. Door needs to open out.

• "The bungalows have been refurbished and are fresh and clean with new furniture."

  The kitchen is good, though crockery and pots and pans are at a minimum and there is no dishwasher. The bathrooms have not been altered but the shower is efficient and hot water is plentiful. The toilet is compact! The biggest improvement would be having a king size bed in the main bedroom, a double is a very snug fit unless you are both very slim!!!! The location is good with extensive walking available from the accommodation. The pool was closed for maintenance during our stay, but we knew that. When open the pool is excellent.

• "Lovely setting."

  One of the points I would raise is the toilet access that other reviews also mention. We are both average build and had to turn sideways to squeeze in; people with poor mobility or large build would find it difficult. I could imagine excessively large people being unable to access at all. We were told during a courtesy call a few days before our holiday that Wi-Fi wasn’t good enough for streaming Netflix but I found occasional difficulty with even social media access. Another point was that the larger of the twin bedrooms (I imagine this is true for all or most of the bungalows) had no power-points on or near the headboard wall, hence no bedside lamp. Luckily, I always take a 3m extension lead with me so was able to use to place clock/radio/dock on small shelf between beds. Restaurant was closed for 2 of the 5 days it was supposed to be open.

  More spacious than it looks on the Internet. Pool facilities were lovely. Would recommend highly.

• "I have stayed in Bungalow 12 at Harcombe regularly over the past 30 years and it is like coming home!"

  Only two points that need attention. The handrail fitted on the wall for the bath is on the wrong wall for use to get in or out of the bath because of the glass screen. If it was on the wall at the other end of the bath near the door it would be better. Also a hook on the door for dressing gown etc. secondly if it was possible to fit a sliding door to the toilet, it would make access so very much easier ! It is quite a work of art to use that facility!

• "Everything in the property was perfect apart from the toilet, it was a very tight squeeze to get into and out of the room."

  Apart from that, the bungalow was cosy, comfortable and clean. Would stay there again, had a wonderful holiday.

• "The chalet is lovely and the views are wonderful."

  Nice and peaceful. Fellow guests keep themselves to themselves. I did not use the restaurant, or use the washing facilities (did a bit in house washing and placed on the rads. Chalet nice and warm. Comfy beds. There is a cafe which is very nice, the cakes were very good. Too wet for walks which are available. Good footwear required. You do need a car to get around and visit places, it is tucked away just off the A38. I found the best access off the top of the hill beside the Haldon Services. Single tracks so be prepared to reverse if you come across another car. Its my multi trip to Harcombe House which says it all really!

• "Very clean, with all crockery etc."

  provided. We did not need to provide anything we would usually use that was not provided. Beds and furniture very comfortable, bed linen clean and towels were a good size.

• "The bungalow was modern clean and comfortable."

  We particularly appreciated the furniture, carpeting and decor which was very homely and welcoming. We loved the peace and quiet, the beautiful grounds and the warm swimming pool. The only disappointment was the poor wifi connection. We always like to stream movies when we are away but this was just not possible using the wifi at the bungalow. We visit Devon every three months and would definitely use Harcombe as our regular go to accommodation if the wifi was upgraded.

• "Positive points Very Clean inside and out."

  Good standard of accomodation. Great views. Negative points Poor directions from A38. Turn left at the BP garage, THERE ISNT ONE ITS A TEXACO. Wasted a lot of time on this. better directions once in the land. Nothing mentioned about the reception area through the arch way. Needs more grab handels in the bath area. No shelf. Toilet very very small, door almost touches the pan. You have to have the door open all the time. Kitchen needed more unensiles. Poorly equiped

• "Lovely to see the bungalows have been modernised, shame the toilet is still so small."

  At 7 months pregnant I struggled to get in to the room! Hope that over time the cafe will be available at the weekends too
