"Very clean and well presented and equiped internally and bungalow appeared to have been recently refurbished."

Outside showing signs of needing cleaning/repainting but no serious complaints. Minor problems include lack of any hooks to hang anything in both the shower room and the bathroom and a malfunctioning toaster but these were not major issues. Heating was not working correctly on arrival as several radiators including those in both toilet and bathroom were cold and unable to adjust , but these were promptly seen to and rectified when reported on the Monday morning following our arrival. Overall very satisfactory accommodation.

"We have stayed at Harcombe many times in the past but this is our first stay for many years now that dogs are allowed."

This is a welcome step for our family and means we can revisit and can continue to support the FFC. The accommodation is simple but clean, beds are comfortable and you have everything you need. The site offers plenty to keep adults and children occupied. Really recommend this location and we will return.

"The cleanliness and general condition was excellent."

However, there were a few problems which would make me think twice about visiting again, which is a shame, since the location and general facilities are very good. Your website listing stated two toilets, but I was contacted after booking to say there was only one. For potentially six adults, this was inconvenient. The one twin room contained a bed with drop sides, which would be great for a disabled person, but the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Also for the first 5 days of our holiday there was no internet. If we’d known the internet was patchy, in advance, we would have downloaded books to read etc prior to arrival.

"Really enjoyed our stay, very relaxing and peaceful."

We did a two of the walks, blue and brown, although there had been a couple of weeks of dry weather some of the parts of the walk were a bit muddy so wear appropriate footwear

"The property was advertised with a cloakroom with loo and sink."

This did not exist. One of the reasons for booking was that there were two loos and as there were 6 of us, only having one was not suitable. The website needs updating to accurately reflect the facilities. There weren’t any bins in the wet room and shower room and a shelf in the wet room would have been useful, especially for people like myself with mobility issues. Apart from that , everything else was fine. Lovely location and great facilities. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

"The bungalow was exactly what we expected."

It is in a peaceful and picturesque setting, providing a great nights sleep. The furniture is modern and comfortable and the decor neutral. Having an indoor pool on site was great and booking in to use it was straight forward. The pool itself was clean and well maintained as well as nice and warm. The whole site is extremely well looked after and super clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. It was a great base for getting further afield and I would highly recommend staying here.

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.
