Guests say

Harcombe House Bungalow 6 in Devon is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its peaceful setting, beautiful grounds, and comfortable accommodation. Guests appreciate the warm swimming pool, scenic walks, and the proximity to Chudleigh and Exeter. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of certain amenities are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests considering a return visit.

The bungalow is generally described as clean, with specific mention of well-maintained communal areas. However, there are isolated comments about the need for a cleaner cooker/hob and some stains, which slightly detract from the overall high standard of cleanliness.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local amenities in Chudleigh, as well as the ease of access to Exeter and seaside towns. The narrow lane leading to the property is noted but does not significantly impact the positive reception of the location.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the setting peaceful, contributing to a relaxing stay. However, the lack of bedside lamps in some rooms and the cramped toilet space in the bungalow are points of discomfort for some visitors.

Facilities like the swimming pool, games room, and tennis courts are appreciated, but there are comments about maintenance issues such as flaking paint and broken blinds. The absence of a dishwasher is also mentioned, suggesting room for improvement in the facilities and maintenance category.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
