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.

Chudleigh, a historic wool town in Devon's picturesque Teignbridge District, is a wonderful day trip destination any time of year. The town's history may be traced back to the Saxon era, as seen by the prevalence of Saxon place names in modern day usage. The town also boasts historical attractions including the caverns at Rock and an Iron Age hillfort that overlooks the area. In addition to its many accommodations, Chudleigh is home to two pubs, an English restaurant, grocery stores, specialty boutiques, and more, all of which are useful during a self-catered visit. All around Chudleigh, you will find beautiful scenery perfect for strolling. If you're in the mood for something more strenuous, you may go rock climbing, kayaking on the River Teign, mountain biking, or hiking in the area. Visit the historic coastal resort of Dawlish for a day of sun and sand, complete with a host of fun activities for the whole family. The majestic black swans of Dawlish may be found in The Lawn and Brook. Visit the historic city of Exeter and spend a day seeing its various attractions, including the magnificent City Walls, the Gothic cathedral, Exeter Castle, and much more.
