Guests say
Haldon View receives glowing praise for its beautiful presentation, well-equipped interiors, and stunning estuary views. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, comfortable beds, and spacious layout, making it ideal for families and couples alike. The proximity to the railway station and local amenities, including a popular pub and village shop, is a major advantage, allowing easy exploration without a car. Thoughtful touches such as welcome packs are frequently mentioned, though not guaranteed. Minor issues, such as occasional insects and the steep approach, are noted but do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences.
Multiple reviews describe the property as spotlessly clean, immaculately presented, and well maintained. Only one review mentions minor issues with spiders and dead flies in the garden room skylight, but this is an exception among otherwise excellent feedback.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, easy access to the railway station, and proximity to local amenities such as the pub and shop. Guests appreciate being able to explore the area without needing a car. The only minor drawback mentioned is the steep approach road.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, spacious living areas, and a homely atmosphere. The property is described as suitable for families and multi-generational groups, with a ground floor bedroom and en suite for accessibility.
The cottage is repeatedly described as very well equipped, with quality fixtures, a well-stocked kitchen, and excellent outdoor spaces. Facilities such as two lounge areas, ample parking, and easy-to-follow information packs are highlighted. One minor maintenance issue with hot water was quickly resolved.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs or hampers and useful household supplies, reflecting attention to detail and guest comfort. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

Hopefully the fact that we are returning guests speaks for itself! Lovely home from home, there are so many plus points; the property itself is very well laid out and would suit families and couples alike. The close proximity of the local rail service is definitely a bonus as you can get around easily without the car. There is a well equipped kitchen with super attention to detail with all the bits included from kitchen roll to dishwasher tablets so it feels homely from the moment you arrive. Highlights for food were the Passage inn at Topsham and Browns in Exeter- both easy to access via the train. Highly recommended!
