We had a lovely week at Haldon View. You can see the Owners have put so much thought and care into making this a really beautiful home and a comfortable place to return to each day. The house was really well equipped, spotlessly clean with comfy beds and the welcome pack provided was really thoughtful. The location was great with easy access to both the coast and Exeter and we had a nice meal in the Swan pub..

Wow - what can we say? This holiday home was outstanding and we had a lovely week. The house is beautifully presented indoors and out (lovely views from garden!), with everything you would need for your holiday. We particularly appreciated the welcome hamper and all the extra bits supplied like dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll etc which demonstrate attention to detail. The close proximity to the railway line to either Exeter or Exmouth and beyond was such a huge benefit and we hardly used the car. Local pub ( the Swan) was great too. All in all fabulous and we would love to return. Highly recommended.

Great property, modern, clean, well equipped with lovely garden which had fabulous views over the estuary. Great location for station, pub and local shop less than 5 mins walk away. Directions to property and information pack was very easy to follow. Would love to stay again.
