Guests say

Harcombe House Bungalow 4 is a well-regarded holiday rental in Devon, praised for its comfortable accommodation, immaculate pool, and friendly staff. Guests enjoy the quiet, rural setting with wildlife and woodland walks, as well as the proximity to Dartmoor and the coast. The on-site cafe adds to the charm with good coffee and cakes. While some guests noted a lack of certain amenities and accessibility issues, the overall experience is positive, with special mentions of the quality bedding and picturesque park views.

The property is generally well-maintained with specific praise for the immaculate pool and quality bedding. However, there is a mention of the lack of cleaning supplies, which suggests room for improvement.

The location is appreciated for its quietness, proximity to wildlife, and nearby attractions like Dartmoor and the coast. However, concerns about parking and accessibility for those with mobility issues slightly affect the score.

Guests find the beds super comfy and the accommodation comfortable. A suggestion for an additional cloakroom indicates that comfort could be enhanced for larger groups.

While the pool and cafe are commended, there are mixed reviews about the overall facilities. Some guests mention a lack of basic kitchen supplies and cleaning products, but there is not enough consistent detail to accurately score this category.

The provision of tea, coffee, milk, and sugar is a thoughtful touch, although it's noted that these gifts are not guaranteed. The lack of other basic amenities, however, suggests that thoughtfulness in guest experience could be improved.

  • Lucy

    The parking space has a very deep kerb to mount when exiting, and is up a hill from the property, with nowhere to unload near the bungalow. This definitely spoilt the beginning and end of our holiday, as it was very heavy rain, and all our luggage and supplies got soaked, as did we. It was impossible to clean when leaving, as nothing in the way of sprays for bath, toilet, floors, or kitchen were provided. Also, although tea, coffee, milk and sugar were kindly provided, there was no coffee pot, no chopping board, and no salt andpepper - all usually provided in all the many self-catering properties I've stayed in over the years. Such a shame, as the bedrooms and living areas were beautiful with impeccable linen.

  • Margaret

    A second cloakroom would have been appreciated as there were 5 adults and 2 children!!

  • Emily

    Had everything we needed and a great location. Pool was immaculate and good system in place to not be overcrowded. Overall really happy (family 2 adults 3 children). Park has a fab view we had a picnic down there while the kids played. Would highly recommend
